what kind of speed can i expect out of an xb2003 powered by an evinrude ETEC, 2.5L 200hp? Guessing about 80? regards, peter

super nice looking boat. maybe a stupid question since i'm not a mariner/mercury guy, but what is the horsepower? -peter

that's a convincing case for a single axle then. thanks. now i will be pissed when i find the boat i want and it has a dual axle. :( -peter

i was just reading the "wanted to buy" section and a guy looking for an xb03 _specifically_ wanted a single axle trailer. why? aren't you better off with dual axles from a safety/handling perspective? all my boats so far are small, [16' or smaller] and obviously have single axle trailers...

sounds like your suffering from being on the wrong side of the country. me too. if i hadn't just burned my "wife karma" on a hydrostream, i'd be knocking on your door, because yours is probably the closest xb2003 for sale, to me here in socal. this pisser is, that by the time i rebuild my...

as is all to common on here when someone joins this forum to sell a boat... you did not put your location anywhere in your profile or post. -peter

i've seen them at walmart in towns where boating is popular. the boating and RV section of the walmart in bullhead city, AZ is HUGE. -peter

you sound like me. i already bought a hydrostream having never ridden in one. when i buy an xb2003, no doubt, it will be under the same circumstances. that's the way things are out here in southern cal, if you like fast outboard boats. :( btw, i'm jealous and i'm sure i speak for everyone...

isn't the xr2002 pretty much the same as the xb2002? patches gave you some pretty good info, imho. or am i missing something? -peter

sorry for the OT... couldn't help noticing your forum handle. do you fly atr's? -peter

must be nice to be the guy who's selling. he can afford to let $15k or more just sit around, slowly losing value. -peter

do you guys think maybe the highly modified nature of the motor is frightening off higher bidders? -peter

aaand... NOT sold... yet again. reserve not met. 12 bids, highest bid $13,100 -peter

That one's been for sale for quite a long time. I've never seen it in person, nor do I know anybody who has, but I seem to recall they were asking just too much money for it, and not being flexible when people offered something closer to what they sell for in real life. -Peter

i just read 1badss's thread... interesting... ok, so i want an xb2003, but the wife already thinks i'm a reckless speed freak, and she'd rather have a pontoon boat. :( my current boat little 16 foot speedster is good for mid-50's or so before it starts chine walking, BUT at about 40, it...
