Default 35X w/525s ?

Does anyone know of, or have seen a 35X w/ 525s? I imagine this set up would rock but I am yet to see or hear of one? If so, what are the numbers? Thanks Jim

You might as well go to the lightning w/ the 525's. You will have a very expensive X when you are done and it will be a tough resale boat. But no dealer will tell you that.

If you are willing to spend for the 525's you might as well buy the twin step lightning hull. 90+ MPH boat with that setup.

Whats the street price on a 35' Lightning with 525's and trailer???? I've checked with one dealer on news of a 35' staggered, but he was not aware anything like this was in the works. His opinion was not enough room in engine compartment to do a staggered. Anybody got any updates? When is this going to happen, if it is at all. His quote on 35 Lightning with 525 was $215-- which seems high in relation to the x's being quoted out there. You can about get a 42X with 525 for close to that. Whats everybody think??

35X is much cheaper. I have just never seen one with 525s... just curious on the price. I wont pay for the 35 L ....210 is what I got quoted. I can get a 38 for 230 and a 42X fror 230... all with 525s.

I thought about ordering a 35x without power, and then ordering some motors from Derebery in Texas. Has anyone ordered without power before, it seems like it would be cheaper if you could get a good credit from fountain on the motors?
