    21XRS - Level in the Water?

    Question for your 21XRS owners... I know the SST sits more nose high/up in the water at rest and when fishing. How does the 21XRS sit? More level?

    Its just a bullet thing. Nothing you cant get used to in about 1hr- added bonus on sight fishing. A 2.5L on a 12”jp makes a 21 sit level or having both on the front deck does too.

    Never really noticed it... I owned a Stratos/ Champion 210 before I got my 21XRS in August and it never occured to me, and I fish a lot by myself... Dan

    I'll have to see if I have any photos. But just fishing in my 21xrs it feels like it sits nice and level. Even with my wife in the back.

    The nose sits so high you have to hold on to the butt seat just to stand up!!!

    it sits a little past level. I love it though. Don’t let the secret get out

    I don't own a Bullet, but love they way look sitting in the water. By the way, I agree with you Huckleberry. What's up with all these pickups with the nose up look?

    Never even noticed. Apparently everyone who fishes with me doesn’t notice because it has never been mentioned. We fish two off the front of my boat 21xd so I am guessing it levels back out more.

    I do like how a Bullet sets. Of course, with my butt on the front it’ll be level.

    the XRS is a little lower than my 21XRD...…...size of the man up front and rear weight makes most difference in any Bullet, but of course they do sit higher
