New Mercury ProXS 200HP V-8 First Run on Lund 1875 Pro-V Bass Boat

After getting the Pro-V back from the dealer yesterday and then reloading my gear, all there was left to do was splash it and make the maiden voyage with the new Pro XS. Headed to a local lake that afternoon. There was a little wind & chop. Video footage below includes that first run as well as my first impressions at the end. All things considered this deal came & went together fairly smoothly. Huge Props to Maple Bay Marine in Brutus, MI True Professionals in every sense of the word.  Besides being delivered a full month early (when does that ever happen? ) Mercury did make the new Pro XS very close to a plug & play replacement for the Optimax.  So the dealer was able to remove the old, and mount the jack plate & new motor as well as test run it for me, all in 1 day.  We had discussed using the same motor height & prop (Tempest Plus 21 inch P) and so far that seems to be very good.  The dealer set the motor's computerized trim stops to prevent any steering gear hang ups.  Motor matched up to my existing throttle and smart craft gauges seamlessly.   So as of now, I am very pleased - and really happy with the 5 year warranty.
There will mostly likely be more to come here as we go along.
