    Thinking about getting another Bullet

    Some questions:
    • If I get a XRS can I get by with a 24 volt Ultrex
    • With two poles and loaded with gear, will I see 70 to 75??


    Last question does it come with a seat belt?? (LOL)

    I would say, yes and yes ... I have a 36 volt but barely go over 3 or 4 setting , I would rather have a 24.

    The new V8 merc are faster then the old opti from all the ppl i talked to. From what i'm hearing from the guys that have them there 2-3mph faster. I would think you could see high 75+ with that setup.

    I personally would go with a 36V setup. But i'm a tournament guy and need the extra juice.

    What he said... I'm rarely above 4 on my 36v... And after an all day tourney it only takes an hour or two to get the batteries fully charged... Dan

    He has 2 Cats.... Spoiled Rotten KID!

    He bought his first Bullet because he rode/drove mine... I didn't want him to sell the last one. I had a feeling Andy would come back...

    nothing else other than an Atlas hydraulic plate and a 29 Bravo 1 lab finish. That's pretty much typical with a XRS/250 ProXS. Most I've ever squeezed out of her is 82. 78 is pretty much the average top speed running solo.

    XRD rides and drives like any of the XD models...…….low seats and feels light...…….you can feel the water under you if that makes sense...……...the XRS rides and drives like a mass produced rig to me...…….lots of cushy feeling and very high seating...……….NOT SAYING ITS BAD, JUST DIFFERENT...…...XRS is 4-5 mph slower boat vs. boat
