This boat runs superb, and FAST! TOO fast for me smile I put a few hours seat time in it today, and decided I still prefer a skeeter. There is nothing wrong with this BULLET. I just installed a 2001 Merc Optimax (330hours) on it and it purrs like a kitten. I have never had such a strong motor, that starts so easy! (first fuel injected motor for me). Everything works in this boat, and its ready to fish. New motorguide 67 pound thrust (hand controlled) trolling motor- 24volts. I hit 78mph on the handheld GPS twice today(max speed).... I still prefer the laid back ride of the skeeter over this boat. I felt like a NASCAR driver in the BULLET smile I could probably come to like this boat, if it was just me riding in it- the wife watched and didnt like the looks of it smile LOL!! With her and the new baby on the way, I need to get back into a Skeeter.

I will post pictures tomorrow.(white hull with teal green stripe and teal interior accents. white and teal seats. front butt seat, and rear sit down style seat included.

This boat includes the custom aurora cover, the 2001 Mercury Optimax 225(330 hours), the 26pitch 4 blade trophy prop, the 1994 BULLET 20XRD hull, and custom Trail-Line trailer(upgraded trailer). tires are good enough to haul, but not new. all lights work. all switches work in boat. I will include the Humminbird 997si with this boat frown I also have the required safety items(extinguisher, safety cushion, whistle, etc) included. I will also install a new throttle cable because the current one sticks/hard to push(I will not sell an unsafe boat!)

$12,500

this is probably the smoothest rough water boat i have ever been in. i went through some good wakes today at about 65mph...it cut right through them without jarring my body. that impressed me smile

but... i still prefer the layout of the skeeter. guess I have fished in one too long. i tried it out, and cant take the change frown

I can vouch for what Ronnie is feeling. i wanted a BUllet for a long time so I bought one. It was nice in every way but I never got comfortable in it. Hard to explain until you are in the same situation. I have had a bunch of Skeeters and there is just a comfort level and i went back for one. I applaud Ronnie in admitting this boat is not for him. it should sell fast and someone will be getting a solid ride. I've seen the boat in person and its in great shape.

You just nailed it Tom. That is the deal right there and really explains the differences.

I want the boat guys, love the XRD Bullet, its the only bullet I like to fish from actually... I just don't want the Optimax motor on the tail of the XRD... You interested in making me a deal on the boat and trailer???

Also noticed in the PIC, that on the starboard side of the trailer the side bounce/guide on board is knocked loose, and just sort of hanging there... You have any rash on the bottom of the boat from getting on top of that steel flatbar when loading??? That could sure put some rash on here for sure LOL... Its not that it couldn't be fixed though if there is any...

Good looking rig either way for sure... Make me a deal on the boat if interested and I would be interested???

just need a screw put back in it(rail). no rash smile boat goes as a complete rig. just installed the 997si on it smile putting the new throttle cable in it after work smile the optimax on it is a screamer and will be even moreso if you get martin outdoors to have the nosecone installed, and have a phase kit installed in it from hydrotec marine(martin outdoors can do this also)..

I am sure the motor runs good dude... Great looking ride for sure, thanks for your consideration just the same... I am sure it won't last long, as I said the XRD is the boat to fish from if your a flip fisherman as I... The only Bullet model to fish from with the lip around the front deck like it is on the XRD...

I saw where you have the rapid jack plate for sale that came off this boat. What have you done on the boat with the bigger 3.0L motor you have, for as a jack plate??? Just curious...
