I get an allowance every month. I have PU truck and a bass boat, I am blessed. Conscience never acquits, it either accuses or excuses.

Have not heard about the 250 Class motor, if it comes out this year I'll order it on my next boat. Last edited by BMCD; 02/21/18 06:27 PM.

I honestly don't think those are going to be the bass boat segment of motors. I look for a pro xs line to come out. Hopefully renamed. I don't know why but it just seems wrong to take the pro xs name and move it to 4 strokes. Come up with something new, Pro FS or something

See you on the lake and have a great day!
