    Been talked about several times on here. I saw a stretched 20 GS on FB yesterday. It looked good.

    This rumor came out at least ten years ago ... maybe more.

    I'd suspect a 23' XB before a GS. Unless they're paid up front specifically for a one off or run of them, I highly doubt a new GS will ever see the light of day. Kind of like the last run of XRs.

    There are two different 23 foot unicorns. There is the one that Allison boats was working on 'forever'. I don't know if this is mothballed, stopped, ongoing...It would have been cool if it came to production, especially with today's big motors.

    Then there is the stretched GS that is on Facebook. I think this was done by a boat builder in Bahrain. It's a one off. You won't see that boat marketed here.

    clearly some of you guys didn't click on the link.

    It's a 23' GS that was modified over seas to be 23'.

    The guys over there have modified all sorts of US boats to suit their needs.

    The guy who posted shares some great photos of the work they are doing and the boats in action.

    Lol, my crap eyes didn't even see the FB hyperlink. Guess I should reconsider my profession as an electrician when I can't see the difference between black and blue, lol.

    Thanks for the share. Guess they're far enough away from TN to avoid getting a stern talking to from Darris. Wonder what they think of that mod.

    I only saw it because I had seen the pics on FB already. So, it's fair to have missed it.

    Yeah, doubt they care at all about what anyone in the US has to think about their work. Though, can Darris really say much about a man cutting his own boat in half and extending it 2-3 feet?

    I think they extended a river rocket also. There is also a boat he's (yousif) been posting pics of that he's currently modifying that looks pretty slick, looks like it's got a little glastron influence but also a little allison/superboat and Venom mixed in. Have to go back and see what he's doing with it to really see what it started as, but I haven't seen in it in my feed for a few days.

    I told Nancy and Darus that I am ready to write the check if they produce it. It is about as likely as Biden getting the Eisenstein award.

    I wish they would have produced it too, but I think that ship has sailed.
