    So what are the colors gonna be? We know you change boats faster than us mere mortals change lightbulbs...

    I only use the underside rod storage for overnight storage. It is a little bit of a pain to just swap rod a lot in the storage but everything else about the boat is awesome. If just 2 people the rear seats can come out and provide tons of room for coolers and stuff if you do much beach sitting. I can text or email any pic you want, just pm me and we can hook up.

    I want to do 100% dark blue but the orange one made me smile every time I looked at it.

    Perhaps he has the caps removed from the end of the tubes?

    I would never have the exact boat built again; Mike wouldn’t want to see that.
    We’ll do folding rear seats; we’d rather have the space to move around in the floor area.

    Well your color choices have been 3 for 3 so keep it up. Us used buyers appreciate your eye

    I bought the XB-21 BasSport Tournament 2+2 because I wanted a boat that I could tournament fish from as well as convert it to a family boat easily and this boat is amazing for that. 98% of the time it's in full tournament mode, but the 2% of the time when my family goes out is worth giving up deck space for me. I have zero complaints with my 2+2. If you fish more than you play, I would strongly consider a BasSport and if having family time on the water is something that will happen enough then the 2+2 can't be beat for best of both worlds.

    I had Bill make me a deck lid for my Bassport and it's a 10 minute conversion to swap the console and the deck lid out. I'll put the console on when I have my family in or when it's cold and I'm taking a buddy out. When it's tournament time I only have the deck lid on, my Co-Angler can freeze..LOL

    I have both the passenger console and the passenger deck extention but have yet to pull the console off at this point. Over 5 years I have said I was gonna try but never seem to remember to do it. Need to order a second hinge to make it much easier to convert.

    Mine came with an extra hinge and I don't use it. In order to line it up right I had to drill new holes in the existing hinge. It's such and easy swap now, I just take small vice grip and clamp a phillips head to it and use a wrench and it's off. If you fish a lot, the deck lid is AMAZING and makes a huge difference!

    Can you post a pic of your boat with the deck lid on.

    I got the 2+2. I like it, no I love it. On the otherhand, knowing what I know now, I wished I had gotten the BasSport Pro traditional layout with the longer front deck.
