    I also have a barn full of yamaha's and like to play around with stuff so I'm not switching teams...but fresh sheet of paper and money in the account the XS is a no brainer.

As far as the buider, Im one of 2 0r 3 people on this board that has direct contact with him, has spend hours with him, has had thousands of words exchanged with him, I have not one bit of convidence in anything he says....but thats for another thread.... and boy that will be a duzzy
    Am I missing something,you have no confidence in the builder of the boat?

    You had me going for awhile reading this thread.... Then I read about not taking off the cowl and realized that the whole thread is a joke.

    The truth is I dont really know if I made the right choice, but my reasoning is as follows !- Warrenty, 2- aesthetics,3-engineering,4- just something different, Im buying a 300x also so if I made a big bo bo, Ill just swap it out and make a planter out of the white motor

    in no way am I saying anything derogatory about "THE BOAT" , my confidence level is ZERO, as far as the builders integrity, and business prowess...
