Hilarious!
Great post.
Dont feel bad, it's been yrs since I've been over 50 in a boat.
Didnt bother me either until I just typed that 😳I'd rather be competitive w/junk I built in my garage than win w/stuff I bought.
I refuse to allow common sense to interfere w/my boat buying decisions.

All joking aside the Allison xb2002 is the best boat I have ever owned. My xr2001 was the most fun to drive but the overall useability and quality of construction of the xb is hard to beat. I have owned all types of STVs and many Hydrostreams including a carbon fibre tunnel and the xb is still my favorite. I would recommend the Allison brand to anyone. Hope ya'll have a nice winter except you Florida guys that get to boat year round. You guys kinda piss me off.

Why did you sell? My SS2000 isn't going anywhere until I can't get in.

I only used the boat once a year to fish and where we fish it is not uncommon to see 4-5' waves making the Allison useless. We don't river boat near as much as we used to and I have several other boats I can use. I have also retired somewhat unexpectedly and am moving from my 11,000 square foot barn out in the country to an 1800 square foot house in the city which means I have to down size considerably.

I'm sure king Louie RacerX has a mint one laying around. Go borrow it, he probably won't even know it's missing.

talked to him the other day, said he has beaten the boat/ speed addiction - not sure if I believe him but those were his words. He's happy sitting in his 100* porch area in his undies these days ; )

You will find one somewhere looking at you like a puppy at the pound and you will make a ridiculously low offer that the seller will accept to your surprise. It happens to all of us....
