I am slowly finding my way back to fishing and have started tossing with the idea of buying an Allison XB-2002 but I do not know very much about the model or even if it is for me? I understand it is related to the XR-2002, same hull? When was the non-rot transom implemented? What different models were there? Different layouts? Different layups? There are a couple of consoles, If I want the narrow center steer console (see pic) - what are those called (except the limited edition one on the Allison website)? If I want a good boat that just need rigging - how much would I have fork up?
I would like a nimble boat that I can take to small waters as well as bigger fully rigged with all electronics, trollers etc (I can have that installed over here) and that would give me the same thrills as my SS-2000. Would a Merc 200xs 15" be too heavy for the boat? Is the XB-2002 even for me?
