Makes the boat easier to setup for best hole shot and top speed. Also makes the boat a little easier to pilot in rough water. If you haven’t already ordered/got the boat. Insist on the 175hp. I have a friend that bought a new Z18 with a ProXS 175 and it’s a fun boat to drive. It runs 62gps with that motor(but no jackplate). A 150 is kinda sluggish on that boat. Eat. Sleep. Fish.
