    I can say the tubes are not foamed in on my boat. Should be removable.

    The boat is not completely rigged waiting on mounts for graphs,waiting for the new Motor Guide Tour w/spot lock,poles. I have put 3 hrs on motor for break in and i love how the boat rides and feels (feels like a little race car).Quick hole shot,takes waves and boat wakes much better than i expected.At 5700 rpm the boat runs 63 mph need to try different prop to get rpms up. Boat should run 66-67 loaded with right prop my best guess.

    Any update from you guys? Fit and finish has seemed a bit hit and miss, plus the lack of dealers network has me gunshy...

    You have to remember This is a new company starting up during covid

    If you watch the introduction video of the owner talking about the 19XB he says all their bass boat models will have the .125 hull. Actually only their flagship 20XB will have the .125 hull. The 19XB is on their website now and is a .100 hull. Kind of a bummer, I thought their whole product line was gonna be .125

    LOCO what size prop are you running or came on your boat?

    Right now a 22 Tempest Plus,which i think will be best prop in the cooler months. when it gets hot a 21 may be the best,

    Loco, you expecting 66/67 mph with a 22" Tempest at 5700? That would surprise me a bit. I got 65.3 in an AVX2080 Vexus with empty boat except 15 gallons of fuel, no PP's with 23" Fury, 6" Atlas plate, @ 5800 rpms

    20XB is pretty similar to the 2080, I would think the 21P would too small. I am also running a 23P and it is borderline over pitched IMO in the high humidity and heat(5800 @ 63mph). I have seen a bit of improvement with it as the temps are cooling off, at least in the morning. Thinking a 22p would be perfect for the summer months and the 23p might be solid in the cooler months Still getting it dialed in though on where it runs best on the JP.
