Kind of late to the party, but here goes. If you want to make the most of your 60 HP there are three things you can do to it. Maybe five if you're feeling adventurous, but there is some missing info from the TXW's that I can't help you with unless you know how to measure angles properly: - 15 pitch stainless prop (Vengeance) or 14 pitch Trophy Sport - 6" hydraulic mini jack plate (TH Marine, Bob's Machine, Vance MFG, or SeaStar) - SE400 Hydrofoil (Trackers usually seem to like them and respond very well to them) - Transom wedges (to further decrease holeshot time) - (optional) NGK BKR6EIX-11/ 3764 iridium spark plugs The only caveat to transom wedges are that I do not know the angle of the Transom on the 175 TXW's. If they are similar to the Classic XL's then they have a 15 degree transom and to optimize the most out of the holeshot on these rigs, a 17 degree angle is more ideal meaning you would need 2 degree wedges. Obviously this will cost you time and money to do, but if you have no intention on repowering then you may as well make the most of what you got, and these mods alone should give you a solid performer out of the 60 HP. These mods combined should put you at an operating RPM of 5800-6000 RPM. The 60 HP makes it's full power at the prop shaft at 5800, so anything less is just robbing you of power. If you have any other questions, hit me up! ?

Thank you! I just uploaded some videos to it as well and re-uploaded the original photos to it so you can zoom in further without the photo distorting. ?

Okay. I managed to get some photos reduced, but I was entirely unable to post them all up at the same time. So to avoid the spam, I just created a Google drive photo folder. Feel free to view it. Boat and mods

Let me see what I can do about putting in some photos. I'd probably say the only thing missing at this point is some LED lighting and some little things here and there. I may convert the rear storage into a livewell here fairly soon to be able to fish tournaments whenever I want, but that's about it.

Been around a while on other forums, but there are none as dedicated as this one and SOMETIMES Facebook. Just wanted to say hello and show the boat. Mines a 2020 Classic XL. I opted for searching for one which had a 50 HP on it. Mods below: - 60 HP conversion - 14P re-pitched to a 15 Trophy Sport propeller - SE400 hydrofoil - Vance Mfg. mini hydraulic jack plate - Minn Kota Terrova 24V 80 lb. w/ iPilot & spot lock - 24V lithium troller battery - triple isolated battery setup - Mini ACR for cranking and electronics battery - Console mounted triple battery voltmeter - Console mounted Garmin 73SV/ Bow mounted 126SV - 3 amp dual USB charger retrofit from 12v power socket - 12 gallon single fuel tank conversion - Center third seat add on - Deck extension - Ice cooler/ step add on - bow mounted rod tie downs - Recessed foot pedal tray - Boatbuckle G2 transom tie downs Have not owned the boat a full year yet, but I've slayed tons of bass off of it and can go anywhere a fiberglass rig can, even a little shallower too. Takes rough waters pretty darn well too for a tin boat. It's perfect for lake and reservoir fishing and fishes great with two people in it. The boat runs a max of 41.7 - 42 MPH @ 5950-6000 RPM. I would add all the photos to show the mods, but the site only allows for photos of 1 MB in size evidently, mine are slightly over. If you want to see a mod, feel free to ask for a photo and I'll compress it down to a smaller size to show it!
