I know after some passes and im waiting for the lake to clear up and chilling the bench seat works for relaxing but im sure not as comfy as those recliners look!!

Congrats on making this happen and bringing back one of the finest 100 mph 20ft sport Vees ever made!!

Have all the deposits been taken by Allison ? they wanted 10k per hull to start . unless the deposits have been made its not happening yet

A boat that would take us 35 hours to build took another 35 to make it look right. So I can see Darris' concern.

john , there was no concern... he said once the deposit is taken and the build starts how it comes out is how it comes out. i thought holy crap what do i do if i show up after driving 16 hrs and taking time off work add that to the price and i get there and its wavy as hell? these were all the concerns of mine ,not his.... like i said good luck i hope they come out great . i just didn't wanna be the guinea pig. peace!

You obviously don't know the Allison's,anything they let leave the factory would be better than anyone would expect, IT may not look like a new mold but it would be more than exceptiable

Why don't we just wait to see how things go in the next 2 months. All questions will be answered or all questions will still need to be asked......again. I think the questions will be answered......

i know that every ally boat i ever saw was mint, and i played tennis with the worry that the boat would be less than that .it was a hard decision to not take the gamble. but like i said brand-new and no guarantees. lets see if these get done and how they turn out. i am sure there will be plenty of pictures . i hope they are mint and i still want one. so good hope and lets see.

Shouldn't be long now as I believe all three orders are finalized.
Something that I'm excited about; Darris is developing a console for an option on the XR's. It's going to allow a "command center" type touch display unit in the console in lieu of all the gauges along the dash.

No more worries about a windscreen now...........my short conversation with him about it yesterday was that it's something that could be retrofitted onto any older XR-2002 as well. I think the console is an excellent idea as I'm tall and having a console in front of me is a huge benefit for wind protection. I think it's also needed to compliment the looks of the rear cowling on the XR.

If all goes well, I should be able to give it to myself for a Christmas present

Keep us updated and a big thanks to Lee Sanderson for making sure these Allison were pulled out of retirement and not destroyed

I'd like to clarify; unless you want a special color or some sort of odd arrangement of colors, the deposit is $5k.

This is a done deal. There will be 2016 XR-2002's built.

**HPjoker** · 10-28-2015, 09:12 PM

Congrats Lee, glad to hear you and the guys that really wanted these boats are getting them built!!. Can wait to drive it!!!

Good Deal Lee!!

Anyone Whe Has Watched Darris Build Boats Should Know That ANYTHING!! That Comes Out Of That Factory Is Much Better Than Other Boat Builders "Show-Pieces"

So, There Is No Need To Worry About The Quality! Now, If I Just Wasn't So Close To Retirement....

Give me a call or E-mail so we can talk about what options you would want added. The prices vary due to options, needless to say.
