    H20 Bass?

    I see they have a new model in the Hyperlift series. Has anyone seen this boat in person? Was it at the Classic?

    Yes, It was at the classic. I would be out because its rated for a 175hp motor.

    Well it’s only 2” shorter than a Ranger RT198 or Vexus 1980 and those are rated for 150. I would assume that it’s still a 60ish mph boat? I’d like to see more on it

    I am with you. A 200 SHO would work though.

    Seems like marketing to me on the hp rating. Want more hp than the H18 is rated for? They'll be happy to upsell you to the X18 with the 150. Want more hp than the new H20? They'll be happy to sell you the X19 or X21. Only thing missing in the Hyperlift series is the H19 rated for a 150I'm fine with a 115 on my H18 but I don't care much about speed anymore as long as the boat will run good with proper setup. Knowing what I do about marketing to attract customers I fully understand why companies do the things they do. I do think the H20 BASS will be a big hit. My Xpress dealer sells the hell out of H18's. Don't know if the H20 will outsell the H18 but I bet it outsells the H17.
