Maybe, maybe not. There is no lip on my XB2003. I still have gone around. Most of the times it's me doing something stupid like backing off the throttle to fast. The first time I went over 100 there was no lip. Still the lip is there for a reason, to carry weight, efficiency. I don't have hardly anything in the boat, I use it to pick on car motor boats.I know ya'll tired of me saying this but that's not the case without the lip. You still have to be cautious but no where near as much.
