I've been in plenty of Ranger 620's and 621's, Lund 2025's, and Tuffy's with NA 4 strokes. Fact is, they are slower out of the hole, and lacking mid-range and top end, compared to the 2 stroke DFI's. There's a reason most of the tournament anglers run 2 stroke DFI's and Supercharged 4-strokes over the NA 4 stokes.

BN, on one hand I am saying the 225 Opti has plenty of performance for his 99 Ranger. More than a big NA 4-stroke, and going to a Pro XS would probably not be worth the extra coin to him. I've known Mike for 15+ years, and I know how he runs his boat. From my experience, I don't reccommend the Pro XS for him. Unless he can get one at the same price, I just don't think he'd benefit from it, value-wise.
