They look great, fast, supposedly handle rough water good, and they seem to be laid out nice (potty included!). What am I missing, same price as a 521?

Fastest production hull on the market. IMO. Is that a headlight on the front of that boat?

I have a XB21 with a 300XS. Drop me a PM if you have any questions.

I think they go pretty light across the scales compared to some of the other popular brands.
Have you looked at Gambler or Sterling ?

That's a beautiful rig! I had to go online and check them out. Be careful though, that on-board potty looking thing between the seats is a trash receptacle. That'd ruin that new-boat smell!

If you want to go fast, Allison, Bullet, and Stroker are the way to go. Gambler/Sterling are great looking boats and very well built, but are usually not at the same level speed wise. That being said, Gamblers look fast sitting on the trailer.

I saw one at Falcon last year that has a 300 Merc on it and I fell in love.
This is completly second hand as I've never fished out of one but I've been told they don't fish well because of lack of stability.

There is a white yellow and red one that we saw several times on Amistad. My partner and I were drooling over it every time we saw it!
