I got my first BRX 24 bowrider in yesterday. I already have it all rigged with a new MERC 300XS. This is the BADDEST bowrider anyone is ever gonna see! I'm no bowrider guy, but this boat is COOL! Here's some pics. Here it is at 1:00pm yesterday. This boat will cost $56,000 as shown, with red snap-in carpet. The rear ladder is also backordered.

Mathew- I can't remember the name of the company that makes that setback (somewhere in Louisiana I believe). Wman hooked me up w/ a couple a few yrs back and I've been very happy w/ them. They are stout and very well made. Plus, they come in a ton of colors.

Cheers-

Sick bowrider ! Needs the "Wildman" Rigging upgrade, especially the dash and wheel.

Wonder why they didn't do a wrap around seat for the rear couch ?

I have'nt run it yet. I'm sure it will be in the 70's. The closed deck ran 77.4 mph on GPS. I also have a slightly used 2007 250XS that would bring it down $4,000

Ran the boat today. After breakin, it ran 72.8 mph. No chinewalk whatsoever. I could turn it full lock and it never lost bite. Handles awesome!
