im 90% sure that 175hp is the rating, but i know that ruski has a 200 on his so im not to sure

175 according to the Skeeter Oz web site.

Yes 175 is the rating, although there are a few with 200ho getting around.

a couple of people i know have given up their hull warranty so they could go to 200.

its not just warranty they have to contend with. if they are over HP rating for the boat and have an accident...no insurance.
be very careful if buying a boat over HP

I thought so, i gues thats why the boat im looking at has not sold when three others the same price have come and gone already.
Thanks guys.

The US compliance plate is rated for 175

The Aus compliance plate is re-rated to a max of 200. Whether you buy one rated for a 200 is a different story...

No issues with insurance (hp does not exceed compliance plate rating). If Skeeter Aus rates them for a 200, they will stand behind their product in the event of a hull warranty issue.

Hope that answers your questions - from someone who actually owns one

Yeah Josh did that on both of mine to, had a ZX190 with a 200XS and a ZX200 with a 225HO. Only way to go if you want them to boogie!

Both easy over 70 fully loaded, man I miss them days.....
59mph standing ups pretty hairy and I recon I'd eat the skeeters out on the blue any day off the week!
Hmm wonder whats NEXT? 3 years on, must be getting time for an upgrade
