[Stroker250xs]

That’s rolling! Need to see a vid of this thing hauling the mail

That’s a 105-106MPH boat with a bigger prop.

Wow!

Garmin VIRB on board Video didn’t work on this run..damn card was full and I didn’t know it..going to run it again this coming Friday and get on board video..

Remember - this is a 22’ 3” boat! Loaded to fish, 125 pounds of extra weight in ballast, 40 gallons of gas, 94” beam..this should settle the debates on bass boats with 300R’s..

awesome boats but way above the price point most of us can afford or justify!

Agreed!
I really wanted to buy one... I am in the market for a new boat. I Currently have a Bullet, Bought it new in 01. I heard Ballistic had a 15k price increase this year. Puts them out of reach for me. I am looking at new Bullets.

[falconpilot]

Price increase wasn’t that large. 223 with 250 low 80’s, pushes higher if you put a 300 on it..remember that these are true custom boats..price a new top end Ranger, Caman, Vexus, or even a Phoenix ..these are assembly line boats and priced in same range as custom Ballistic’s..there are several of the boats I mentioned that easily top $100K..

People also forget that electronics add $15K-$20K to boat price..3-4 graphs, live scope, $3K troller, Lithium batts, power poles..accessories add 1/4 - 1/3 cost of price

And yes, unfortunely, most all new boat prices are getting to high these days..guess they continue to get more and more expensive till the market won’t bare it anymore..

I priced a 204 single console with 2 graphs (1 at bow and 1 at console) with a 250. 82,000. I can get a 2020 Bullet 21SDC for 15k less with same graphs, troller and engine.

[falconpilot]

Notice that I didn’t include Bullet in above post. They’ve been building same boat for years with same design, same technology. There is absolutely no comparison in how different the two boats are built. $82,000 for a full custom boat isn’t bad by today terms.

In my opinion, the extra money is well spent but I completely understand budgets as well. If you go with another Bullet, well wishes and tight lines.

That's hauling the mail!

[BigDozer66]

If I ever get the money to buy a $80K boat it will be a Ballistic for sure!

[satisfied]

Was definitely not a 15k price increase at all..!!!..funny how rumors work

[whatzap]

Ok, How much was it?

You can get a new Bullet 21SDC with Graphs trolling motor and engine for 67000?

[whatzap]

Yes, or one with troller , 250 merc , no graphs for 63k

[BamaBallistic]

Yes, or one with troller , 250 merc , no graphs for 63k

Thats crazy cheap honestly. I found a 2019 SDC on here now they want 70k for.

[chass75]

I paid more than that for a used SST. That does sound like a good deal.
