Chart - She sits a bit low in the stern that is for sure. I will get some new pictures soon. Not much different than these. New motor is only slightly heavier than the one pictured. The 250XS is stock. There isn't a lot of options for modifications on the Optimax motors, YET. I read up on the motor quite a bit before taking the plunge. It has been modified and hand assembled by Mercury Racing. They raised compression and use different fuel and timing curves than a stock 250 Optimax and call it an XS. The new ones are supposed to make 270 hp at the prop running on premium fuel.
