What's the difference between the pro and regular opti? All specs are identical on the site, except the pro is about 8lbs heavier - I must have overlooked something.

Performance, The 2 motors are not even in the same league!

All the Pro xs engines have performance upgrades, EXCEPT FOR THE 200. It's labled Pro xs but is acutally a standard engine. Don't think they even offer the non-pro xs in 200 anymore.

Also, you asked Alpha about how it was cleaning his boat.. I've got the Blackjack and it's got the same type decking.. Really easy to clean.. Really don't have to worry about any particular shoes, IMO. had Champion before and it was a B###H to clean.
