Not a bad looking boat ... very close to a Bullet but looks a little roomier. 1600 #'s at 22'-3" long is all I know. Thoughts ....? http://www.ballisticboats.org/home.html

Looks like another company, Blazer comes to mind, that popped a mold off a Bullet 21 XRD.

Looks sweet! Been looking at these boats for awhile... lol. A guy from their company told me that they are advertising their "retail price @62K set up nice and ready to fish batteries and all."
62K is why I have been "Looking" only LOL

Sounds about right. They need to make these things heavier so they don't get blown around so bad.

I like the two little compartments at the bow of the boat on either side of the trolling motor pedal.

Sorry but big bass boat designs actually suck in my mind.. the front decks are very ineffecient, trolling motor mounting is an after thought, the drivers console does nothing to protect the driver from the wind, none of the accessories are easy access for maintenance, the back comparments are a joke. Everything seems to be an add-on, bolt on, or inaccesable. Done now.

I want to say the company is out of Idaho. They are built with an all digital monitor/screen. As I understand it, it is a touch screen that includes all the gauges. Looks like a very expensive repair bill to me. Here's their Facebook link: https://www.facebook.com/BallisticBoats/

Geez Idaho does not seem like an ideal place to build and sell fiberglass boats.

Go ahead and buy a Bullet. Proven hull design, proven quality, and good reputation and resale. I don't want to make a $70K mistake.

I'll stick with a known like Skeeter, Ranger or Basscat for that money. I like doing business with a dealer that's been around for awhile and takes care of it's customers. When you buy a high dollar bass boat you'll be seeing a lot of the folks you bought it from cause there's always gonna be something you want changed or added.
I am a Senager. (Senior teenager) I have everything that I wanted as a teenager, only 50 years later. I get an allowance every month. I have PU truck and a bass boat, I am blessed.

No one is going to start a dealership to sell it. A dealer will just add to their lineup.

looks like a stretched 635 Blazer. Wonder how wide it is.
Keith Kraft the owner of Blazer boats was on to something with the 635 which is not a bad boat but he didnt make it wide enough and long enough.
Thanks, Billy

See no advantage over a 21 XRD Bullet. Seems a bit slower and doesn't have Bullet lineage, other than a possible hull pop.
