not being a debbie downer , but i am just curious? has any of the three seen the build sheet with all the prices ? and what it adds up to for a full interior boat with color and wingtips and or stripes rigged less gas tank? i had one and can't find it ,just wondering if prices have gone up since .
Doesn't matter if you want a piece of history. Ask Gohr.Quote:

By the way John. The boats are an absolute hoot to drive. They sit down from speed much better than a Drag boat. And they have room for a soft tail and cooler.
o for sure i would love to have a new xr, i went skater cause of bay traffic , and not haven to pick and choose my days as much . i still can't wait to new a brand new xr02 it will be a great day. nice shooting the fat with ya , gotta hit the sack .night my friend.Quote:

By the way, my first drive was a 1988 with carbed BP. I was eternally hooked. Could not believe the sensitivity of the boat. I could move my left foot to port and the boat would lean!! Darris' biggest fear is the weight of the motors that might be hung on them. They were designed for 375 pounds on the transom. They need 12" set ups.
If they do build them, there will probably only be five as that's how many transoms are leftover from years prior. Not sure if they would build any after these are gone as they want these to be 60th anniversary models.
Darris is definitely concerned about the engine weight though so hopefully, he'll relax and produce them.
Lee will be at Jasper next weekend so if you might be interested, look him up.
