Buying a boat today. Xtreme or Trick, which one?
I have found 2- 2008 boats, one is a 21' Xtreme with a 300X the other is a 21' Trick with a 300SX. Both in great shape ready to roll.
Ive been reading the forums here as a newbie for the past few days, getting as much info as possible to help in making a educated decision. Before I pull the trigger on one of these boats I thought I would try to get and final thoughts, ideas, or concerns from the forum.
Thanks

Hands down Trick with the XS. the 300xs is a better motor by a long shot. Great on fuel and super reliable. Trick makes totaly Quality Boats also. I think with a 300xs the tricks are in the 105-110 range for speed. That is a more up to date package than the X motors. Hands down if you can buy one or the other.
