Grant's XB21 for sale at Reynolds

[Chad Phillips]

I was poking around looking at used boats and I came across what looks like Grant's Xb21 for sale, the ad says it was completely refurbished, blueprinted bottom and new seats and carpet. Good looking boat!

 

[catfish123]

Well, that sure didn't take long.

 

[GotMyAlly]

Hmmm....did he get a new Alli, or go back to a lead sled?

 

[Dave Hensley]

Maybe lost sponsor??

 

[ssv1761982]

Will be interesting to know...

 

[K.Kiser]

This was the sponsored Pro boat ?

 

[wasmeneh]

I heard something on S&F that since he finished poorly he may not still be in the same tournaments as last year.

 

[racerx]

Well we know it wasn't the boats fault..lol Heck he probally fell in love with a Allison and wanted to hammer down more then fish he probally is buying a drag boat now....lol

 

[BigRedAlli]

Heck he probally fell in love with a Allison and wanted to hammer down more then fish

That's the problem I have...lol

 

[Allyfishing]

Selling without the motor?? Hmmm...interesting. Don't know what to make of that?? Keeping the motor to put on the next boat, whatever that may be....

TAlk over on BBC about the Elite field being increased in number of angler participants and possible cuts to the bottom rung of Pro's to make room. Who knows, like mentioned here maybe going a different boat or tour series all together.

He was on the list of guys cut from the elite field.
He has to fish the opens next year to re-qualify if that's what he decides to do.

Or maybe jump ship to flw, all you have to do is pony up the coin there to fish the tour level.

If that's it then its benifitial to fish a ranger so maybe that's what he's doing. Who knows.

What's important is there is a sweet boat for sale that aren't very many of around.

 

[TB21]

He's just getting another new XB21.

He must be hard on 'em if it needs to be refurbed after just a few short months.

X2. Must have used it like it was stolen!!!

I don't know, boys. Professional fishermen don't have time to baby their boats like we do. It's a job. It's their work truck.

 

[SLOmofo]

A boat is just another tool in the bag!

 

[Podge]

Most of the pros get new boats every year. It is a standard practice.

A friend of mine was looking into purchasing Ike's basscat a few years ago after the season. It was advertised with a really great price. He said basscat sent him pics of it before it was gone over and it was a wreck!! But we all know Ike!!

This past August I marshalled at CAyuga and rode with James Niggemeyer and his 520C Ranger and I would not have hesitated to purchase it after the season. He was anal about everything. Charlie Hartley is the same way.

Grant had a deal with 2 sponsors in Texas that actually sought him out (according to what he told my wife at the rally) who he became friends with and if I'm not mistaken helped him with the Allison purchase. If I had to guess, Yamaha either took the motor back or Grant is to sell it to cover his cost of the sponsorship to Yamaha.

Grant's boat was immaculate. I put the only scratch it had on the topcoat while loading the trolling motor and he was not happy! LOL Just getting another XB21.
