Mercury Elpt Vs The Xs Engine

[David J]

Newbie here, thinking of getting a new Bass Tracker, jury still out on either the 17' or 19' TWX model, but what are the differences between the ELPT and XS motors, other than cost?

Thanks in advance.

An ELPT outboard is an acronym meaning the motor has electric start, long shaft and power trim features.

They are both the same motor the only difference is the pro X's was given to mercury racing and tweeked to get a little more top end and more torque out of the hole optimax top end 50 mph
Pro X's top end 52 mph
