Did the break-in today... Was a beautiful day in North-West Arkansas. The good = it goes just over 30 WOT with 2 people, 3/4 tank of fuel, and full livewell. The bad = it drafts around 15" at rest and idle. I might consider having pods built and welded on. Way to early to make that...

Yea I talked to them and they said they would do whatever it took to repair or cover it up, depending on what I wanted. I'm just not concerned about it so much as I was miffed that I didn't make it home without incident. :| Ninja edit - BTW it's not actually "white". It's like a...

Meh I've decided it's not worth it to get it fixed. I'm gonna scratch it up anyways! 8) Please excuse the garage, I know it's a mess. I was working on getting it ready while the wife's car was out and snapped a quick pic. I'll get some better ones eventfully. Right now were waiting for...

Well it's here! I've been very busy so I haven't had a chance to take some pics of it just yet. BUT The infamous Xpress attention to detail has already bitten me. Hell I didn't even make it home from the dealer (20 minute drive) without damage... Seems no one tightened the bolt holding the...

Yes, that give me a great idea when my new boat shows up! Thanks for posting!!!

Thanks! I had no issues with the Xpress I had before, it was a tough boat! I'm crossing fingers that it runs over 30 without breaking a sweat!

Well this story comes to a close... Not quite the way I expected it to end but an ending none the less. Blazer = no go :( Alweld = no go :evil: Despite the dealers attempting to work with my bank and having excellent credit scores and debt/income, it just wasn't meant to be. Maybe I...

The saga continues. Got pre-approved for a loan so I could order a boat, but apparently hoops have to be jumped through just to find out of the bank will loan on a particular boat... Who knew that buying a new boat could be so difficult? I'm attempting to purchase a 1852 Blazer SS with a 60/40...

That makes me want to put some markers on the water and autocross a boat!

I love that Frenzy from Firefish but I'm sure it's double what I'm now looking at, I bet that boat would be the bomb tho!

My luck I could look for months and never find one I'm looking for used, until 1 month after I purchased a new boat! :LOL2:

Leaning towards a Blazer 1852 with Merc 40. My wife is thrilled I've lowered my "expectations" since it will save money! Spoke with Blazer and a couple dealers, waiting to hear back from them. The blazer crew seemed real friendly when I spoke with them. First boat manufacturer I have spoken...

Sold the Xpress today... So bittersweet... Anyways have decided to not go the surface drive route. I'm convinced the noise would give me migraines. Loud noises have a way of doing that to me, I have to wear ear plugs when I operate small equipment and mow. I've also broadened my search to...

Well it's boat show season and I've seen hitting up everyone who will listen for what they think. I've had quite a few mention they would get a surface drive boat rather than a jet for my area. Their point is there is ALOT of sand and it will chew the impeller up faster than the prop on a...

I can get just about anything within a 5 hour drive from where I live, but I'm giving every chance I can to the local guys. Not holding my breath, but we'll see. I'm hoping more info comes out about that 1752 in the pic before too long...

I just can't see how the Stryker is a better layout than the Skorpion after looking at Lowes site. Maybe it's just preference.

Called the local dealer, he said he had heard about them but wasn't exactly a wealth of knowledge. Said they were very basic, could be ordered with a console. Tried to say the stryker would be a better deal.

I think they are keeping them a secret! :?

Stumbled onto them when cruising online looking at new boats. It's in the 2015 Lowe brochure. I've attached a snippet. Anyone heard anything about them??? :?:

Yea my buddy's point about the forward CC is that I have poor eyesight - I think he was insinuating I need all the help I can get! :shock: I reminded him that he's not much help either as he only has one eye left! :lol: I'm just so used to "bass boat" layouts I'm afraid I'd regret not...
