    New XB03

    I’ve had a 20xdc, 20xrd comp, and a 21ss and just bought my first Allison today. 1 owner 03 with a 150 efi. It’ll have a 300x by tomorrow at sunset. Hehe. Looking forward to stringing it out. Happy New Year everyone.

    I will always regret getting rid of my XB-2003. I didn't like it for fishing, but it was a blast to drive!

    My biggest case of sellers remorse was selling my 2003 XB with 225 Pro Max and the light weight cowling with Sportmaster lower unit. The older I got the harder it was to repeatedly get up off the floor from the bucket seat in my center steer XB 03. Each time I moved to a new location I had to get and step up on the front deck which became more tiring as the years went by.

    The boat and Pro Max was awesome and would run 88 GPS with two fishermen and all of their gear.

    Handled like a dream even in rough water.

    If I were not on a fixed retirement income, an Allison Pro Sport would be in my storage now.

    Enjoy the Allison while you can still handle the getting up and down.

    Did I mention that my 2003 XB was the most fun I ever had in a boat?

    Close behind was my Ally 2002 XB and 20 and 21 XD Bullets.

    Time marches on but cannot erase the wonderful memories of these 4 boats.

    Just sold my xb03 center steer for the same reason. I figured I could fish out of it atleast another 5yrs but tested the waters and sold it in 12hrs so time to go to a center walk up boat sooner then later.

    I'll enjoy being 22 for now and crawling in and out. Being as safe as I can while I'm at it. Will surely need some setup help with the X. I have a whole lot of Bullet setup knowledge, but know next to nothing about setting up these 03s, especially with a 3.0 liter. I know most frown upon it.

    Man just saw your post. I was bummed I missed y’all last week. I’d been texting Tim. Just been so busy at the shop to get away. I’ve got a couple more things to finish up on the boat today and hoping to put it in the water this afternoon. Really hoping to link up with y’all soon.
