Will do...real close on pulling the trigger on a pair of 250 pro xs's, but taking my time still to think it through and do some more research

Thats the great part about buying from a small custom builder !!!!

I didn't think 250 PRO XS's were available in counter rotation?

also..

Opti 250 has a higher RPM range than the 250XS

250XS is a Merc Racing vs Opti 250 & 250 Pro XS are Merc Marine products (2+2 warranty for Merc Racing; 5 year "standard" on Merc Marine- say standard as it comes with 3 years but they always offer 5 for free)

250XS- Fleet, Torque or Sportmaster gearcases in 1.62 or 1.75
250 Pro XS- only torquemaster in 1.75; heard they are now coming with the "Verado" gearcase?

250XS comes with solid motor mounts

They dont, but talked to a few dealers who said they woudl swap out one of the cases to a left handed for a small additional fee, still trying to work that all out

is that 21cc o/b or i/o?

Swapping the case is all it takes? Warranty voided?

I just read the Pro XS rotation can be changed with a "simple change of the bellcrank position".

Can you send me the link were you read that, thanks!

Still tryinig to sort that out, thats one of the issues

It set up for OB, I am uploading some pictures now, should be able to post shortly

Cant tell from the pics..... is that a glass inner liner or is the floor seperate from the top?

Sorry to jack your thread.

I should be talking to Rick today, will ask him

Sure:

13th post down

He is talking about the gearcase and if the Pro XS can be set up for counter with a gearcase swap this may be the answer.

ps- on my 2007 300XS's the powerhead and lowers are different for each rotation (I've blown 1 power head and 1 lower on each side..knock on wood..so far).

Great photos Sean, is the little guy the new rigger !!! :grinser010:

Going through the little guys head
 

DAD!!!! Plenty of room for trip three hundreds.

Sean, those are pictures of the new Super 16. The 21 can be had with or without a liner.

My bad!

How many 21`s do you think rick has made ?

Rick, do you have any pics of a 21 CC that you can post?

I really like that 21 !!!!

or is it a 16 ???

xxx

Always like Superboat photo builds !!!! Sean, are the photos of your boat ?:grinser010:

Yup, I am postive....definitly mine this time :party-smiley-020:

...

Nice...This build is moving along very nicely.

what color interior have you decided on ?

All white is classy :)

I am leaning towards blue accented interior. So blue bezels on the gauges, blue livorsi throttle, white or silver seats with blue piping, and blue interior lighting.

Originally was leaning red, but seen some pics of the blue and like it

By the looks of the photos, seems like Rick is building her Supertough !!!

Gary- you told me dealing with Rick would be one of the better parts of all this, and you werent lying, Rick is great to deal with, and watching him and JC 'debate' things is just a nice little add on :argue:

And nothing better then getting the random pictures sent to my cell phone during the day, gives you something to look forward to!

The little man can be quite a handfull at times !!!!! Got Rum lol lol !!!:drink::drink::drink:

...

wow...near real-time boat building TV :)

I keep telling Rick that you could make big money on a Superboat Reality Show

Superbabi Gary needs to be a character on that show...:lolhit:

The boat build looks great...:food-smiley-007:

Don't take this question the wrong way; I know Jim H will regardless...:rolleyes:
Do these center consol boats get some sort of foam floatation installed?
I don’t recall any floatation being added during any of these build pictorials.
I do remember the last CC I owned did have floatation foam/stuff in the gunnels.

Thanks, real happy with everything so far. More excited each day.

And not taken the wrong way at all.....no foam floatation , but it would be interesting to see John's response if I asked for it :)

......

.....

Photos !!!! From Rick to Sean to OSO !!!!! Keep them coming !!!!:grinser010:

Pat, Coast Guard regulations are for boats 20' and under to be level floatation (foam) no foam in the 30

Superbaby, you have competition! This build is comong out like yours ;)
