There pretty good for an aircraft carrier. There groupies has been bad taste in a lot of people’s mouths so it’s hurt there business. Kinda a copy between several boats and weigh a good bit. Have to run big motors to run good numbers. What about groupies??? The .204 dry weight is 1500 pounds. A Nitro Z20 is 2000 pounds... ^^^^ This and Steve Glenn at SCP has shown videos of the one he was testing while he was a dealer, hitting 100mph and Ballistic themselves showed one with a flashed 200 hitting over 100 too! Might have been the boat Steve was working on, but no matter, they are fast.

Rod box doors look so small! Looks like it would be a tangled mess removing/storing rods. Maybe the boat is so big that it makes the door openings look small?

Out of curiosity, what is the price range of these? They are priced similar to all the other premium boats. Ballistic is very much customizable so the guys that buy them typically trick them out pretty well. When you start adding things like lithium batts & charger, 16" graphs, twin poles, 300-400 hp racing motors the price gets up there pretty quickly. These are not your garden variety mass produced bass boats. As a matter of fact I have never seen one with a 250 on back except for Lee Livesay's rig and he fishes the BASS Elites which limits you to 250 hp.

Here's a nice Ranger Z521 ICON from two years ago with a Merc 250 I looked at at Cabelas for comparison. The salesman told me to make an offer because he felt they would "Come down to $100,000 for a serious buyer" LOL
