Your next Allison

[Jon]

What's next on the list for you? For me, my list doesn't go much past the xb2002 and the xr2002. It is very unlikely I'll own another nikasil motor, and would even hang a yamaha on a boat if there were a motor light enough, which there really isn't with the power to weight the light merc's have. I'll be in the 200 to 225 range, steel bore, although I would consider another 200XS. I would actually rig the XB for light fishing as well, but mostly for going mildly fast. I don't plan on the growing up thing any time soon, and no other go fast boats interest me still.

Anyway, those are the setups I'm thinking about. What about you guys?

I am 62. If I am bucks up when I am too old to get in and out of my SS2000, maybe an XB2002. I could walk onto the deck from my dalk

I like my xb2002, easy for an old fart to handle and I can walk all over it.

I done sold all my nic motors and my drag and went to a xb the best all around boat made you can fish and still run over 100 with a 200

No. 7 A boat being built. Driving the A Craft is like sex... At 66, yeah I better keep driving the A boat.

Hey Waterdigger, I remember you had the white with blue stripe drag. Are you getting another one?

Yes and no. 15 footer CF Allyshot is the actual name. Jack Barsh should have it ready soon. It will be white/blue.

Man, you and I talked about selling all nic motors a few years ago. Glad you're out of them finally. I think you have the ideal setup on the xb too. If you did somehow manage to blow it up, you can fix it without the need of mailing off the block. I need that in my life.

Might I ask, what is a nic motor?

 

[BigRWater]

I am 66. I want an older, lighter weight, XB 2002 or XB 2002 comp before I am too old. I have a couple of Merc/mariner 2.5 motor options for it already.

 

[bullwhipjkg]

ive had 2 02's
2 drags
and just picked up a 2003 after my last pristine 02 sold that wasn't for sale 100 dolla bills talk

with that being said im fixing to do a complete restore on this 03 and hang my 15" 300 xs on it

hate to say it this will probably be my last one if when I sell it it will be turnkey

going bigger after this

only thing I miss about not having a 2.5 is the sound and the acceleration on low end
love the fuel milage and power of the 3.2

 

[Wave to Wave]

I don't think there's a nicer looking small sport boat than a XR 2002. I love the GS for the practicality. I wish there were better modern engine options.

 

[Bateman]

Looking for a Grand Sport. Been doing my research for 2 years now. Looks like I’ve got my work cut out for me.

 

[ROBERT CROSS]

Old fartness is limiting my options...guess I'll stay with what I got.

 

[RoseXB03]

XB2002. Just backed in yesterday.

 

[silverbullet02]

There was a guy running big numbers on a 2002 with a 4 stroke a couple years ago.

 

[GotMyAlly]

That damn 24'er...... if Darris would ever finish it. Needs a fishing cap on it, too.

 

[jaybluez]

That would be interesting
