I’m the guy who originally asked the question. After a half-dozen phone discussions with mercury dealers and certified repair shops, I was lead to believe that the Pro XS is very reliable in fact. I don’t think you should be concerned. I was seeking clarification on the V6 vs. V8 noise level DB and fuel economy specs mainly. Enjoy your new rig!
That is very good to hear.. I also wasn’t able to find any “horror” stories about the Pro SX.
Enjoy your season..
Fish on!!

(There are already many horror stories of the new Pro XS not making past a couple of years before a major repair is needed.)
Can you please share some of those horror stories? My new Impact comes a Pro xs and I’m a bit worried about long term reliability. I have searched the net and I can’t find anything significant about Pro XS problems.
My previous Lund was powered by a Honda BF motor and I had 0 issues with it after years if service.
I fish for Lakers and was on the fence whether to purchase LS or PS30, I went with PS30 and very happy with my choice.
Tried LS for Lakers in 70 fow and IMO it’s unusable, bait and fish are just to small to follow on screen with LS.
with PS30 I can stand 5 feet away from the screen and still see everything that’s going on down there.
