    I love everything about the XRD, except for the livewell lids.

    I have a 2019 XRS. Awesome fast boat. Layout is awesome. If it could be changed, I would add more front deck to make it even with the back of the console. Way too much room in front of the passenger seat.

    I have thought that since I saw my first XRS. Who wants more floor space?

    Me , it's great to move around when your fishing with a bud , he has room to work on tackle without it being on the deck. I don't feel the need to have more deck I stand in the same spot and use the trolling motor to move the boat to get me in the position I want to cast.

    I agree. XRD, RDC, XDC with XRS lids/latches style in the back. And a glove box for the XDC/RDC like an SDC.

    Why would you prefer the xrd over the xrs? I'm looking at a 2008 xrd and a 2017 xrs. The xrs has had the console moved forward 4" so that slows it down some but how much. How much did it help the ride? Whats your general opinion the two hulls?
    thanks

    How about Bullet making the XRD with the the lay out kind of like the Xrs. Just don’t move the seats and consoles. Maybe take a few things out to keep the wait down a little also. The performance part of the xrs is what I am stuck on. Oh and no Bullet stripe. I do like the new lines on the top cap. I do like the storage areas too. Of course I don’t dislike my storage in my XD either.

    What's wrong with the performance part?

    I may have worded my previous post wrong. Nothing is wrong with the xrs performance.I have been under the impression that it is 3 mph slower than the Xd or xrd. I just know for me when I lost 3 mph on my rig after banging up my prop I can tell a difference in that 3mph

    While I'm really happy with my XRS there is a difference in speed between the 21'10"... Like noted above, about 3mph's... Every boat is a compromise... But a Bullet is the ultimate... Dan

    If it doesn’t have the classic Bullet Stripe I don’t want it......That said, I’m not a Dual Console guy, anyone wanna trade their 21xrd for a 21RDC?

    If I was to buy another Bullet, it would be a 21xrd. Some of the deck changes made on the XRS need to be added to the XRD. Keep the front deck the same but change how the rear storage and livewell lids close/seal and it would have been perfect.

    I agree ,that was the only change needed. Of course, everyone has their own opinion on what is better. First thing I did was trash the lid seals and latches and redo them with quality stuff that's water tight and doesn't fall off.

    When I toured the bullet plant a few weeks ago I was talking with one of the guys in the hull shop that talked about some custom work that could be done around the hull, pad and edges that would help the xrs performance wise. Not sure exactly what he was speaking to, anybody ever heard of this type of mod?

    Prolly just blueprinting....I’m sure as long as they leave the hulls in the mold they should be pretty close.

    This takes the cake right here , so for years the talk about the difference between a 20xd and a 21xd was the 20 was 3mph faster so the go fast guys went 20 the guys more into ride and fishing went 21 , but now the xrs is 3mph slower than a 21x and it's a turd. I never heard anyone call a 21x boat a turd because it's 3mph slower than a 20 X boat.
    Bullet sells different models for different taste ! One is not better than the other. Dudes buy what you like check them all out get what suits you.

    Even bullets ( Turd ) boat is faster than 90% of the boats on the water. Except for a very few brands and we know what brands they are. If your only looking for speed go buy a center console Allison. The XRS offers a good combination of performance and fish ability that serves anglers well.
