I'm putting it on a Nitro ZV19 Sport Pro.

Given I fish Lake Erie, was previously was happy with a 125, and rarely red line my boats, I felt the extra XS characteristics were unnecessary.

How do you like the 200 V6 I am considering one ?

Haven’t ran it yet, other than in the driveway with muffs. Not sure where you are, but when I’m on Lake Erie you are welcome to join me. Perhaps as early as next weekend, but I’ll be breaking it in, so not much top end until 10 hours. Pm me if interested. You could also see the Merc ProKicker, but in 9.9
