thats what i heard as well, the cog was off a bit as they just did a stagger on the first ones and it made the balance funny at wot. the xp came out first then the x.

Hey Jerr, heard nothing bad about them, rumor was they made a stagger out of a side by side boat and the cog was off (42xp) they then corrected it for the 42x. i'll be in ohio in 2 weeks with motor and transom asmb. I lost my cell and all my numbers pm yours again.

There is only one that I know of with #6's and 950hp Sterlings and it runs like 105-106mph. been in it and it runs and rides very good.

I own a ts tiger and with 525 efi, I get a consistent 81 mph and it rides solid with no listing at all. I'm very happy with the 42 line and the only boat I will go to will be a 42x with 700's. I like the extra freeboard compared to the 39 and the extra bow.
