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 love the looks of those but my wife would never go for small of a rear deck.

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.

Yep, Allison was a pioneer in lightweight racing hulls in the 1950's and have been involved in record setting boats ever since. Low production, extreme engineering and design, and innovation are their strengths.

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!
