Mission brand of boat bumpers have worked well for us. Don’t seem to leave marks....unlike the standard white ones.

Have a pair seen here:



They are certainly quality and don’t seem to mark up which is nice. I’d buy them again. The lake is really high so we don’t have them traditionally mounted, so to speak. But can’t imagine they won’t be superb for every day...

In my VERY humble opinion, the XT22 is the sweet spot. More ballast, bigger fuel tank, more weight and passenger capacity than the XT23. Obviously it really comes down to pickle or no pickle. But I wouldn’t pass one up if I had a chance (and I didn’t).

The beam on the XT23 and...

Also worth checking out the XT22 owners thread as some of those experiences are similar between the two boats. Good luck in your search!

TY! It seems to sparkle pretty good on the water! Every boat looks better wet ...

Just a couple more photos



Towing the old boat lift away.

Re: swim platform - Ours is under water about 4”-6” with full ballast...

Our dealer recommends towing without a cover. He says it’s easier to wipe down an interior after you get to the lake than to buff out scuffs in the gel from the cover flapping in the wind. Interesting thought. Not sure how I feel about that.

Congrats! How was it compared to previous boats for ya?

Also, nice tow vehicle....

New pic. New boat launch is going in tomorrow. Until then, it’s sitting dockside. It wasnt me that put those bumps on like that

...

TY, we like it so far! Love the red hull bottom too. Funny, I was totally unaware of the forward facing lights in the speaker housings, really nice!...

Finally got the boat. (ALL PICS ARE BEFORE DETAILING). Since this photo it’s been detailed and we put it in at the lake. I’ll get around to posting more pics.

Love how the red turned out.









Love the 5500 engine....

Ya, Seth would never sell you a boat with cracks. It’s about integrity...

...he also wouldn’t give you the boat he sold you either. So his boats are completely trouble free...mechanically....

Could that be the depth alarm feature?it can be set or any depth essentially, even though you are in 8.8’ of water. Just a thought.

Going out with the dealer in our boat tomorrow to wet test it. Will have some better pictures to post. Finally taking delivery. It’s felt like an eternity.

Oh, and the Deckadence flooring showed up.
