Well, I just got back from Panama City, where I went to buy a xb 2003. As it turned out the guy was a complete lier on the phone, and the pictures that he sent me were who knows how old. Maybe, I need to quick looking on craigslist for a boat.
Sorry guys but Im mad, and this is my way to vent off some anger, at least this was only a 3.5 hour trip.

Buy from hear or the Allison board. Lots of sweet 03,s for sale on the A board. The guys or anyone will still weal and deal ya just have to ask. I bought mine from S&F from a member who also is a Allison site member and all the others. Sight unseen 8000 miles round trip GS was much better than expected. I paid for her but I got what I wanted. i sent Brian 10 grand 3 weeks ahead to hold her for me untill I got there and gave him the rest after seeing her. If you find another one you like send me a PM. ill ask some of the Allison guys for ya if they know the boat first next time for you. That will save ya some trouble. Theres guys in all 4 corners of North America that will help you find what your looking for. Chads 03 with a 250XS was the best deal for the nicest 03 around last month at 23. That boat is sick!!


You want relitivly newer right? 2000 and up. Whats your power of choice? 260/280/250XS/E Rude? Any paticular color? What price range 20 or less? There are really sweet gems comming this time of year till April and May so youll have to act fast for the real good ones as there other guys always looking also. Ill keep my eyes peeled.

Thanks guys, and no the boat was white with red wing tips. Year really doesnt matter and perferrably with a stockish promax, price depends on how much money I have saved up and how much the bank will loan.
