Has X on it now but he also has a XS.Which do you think would be better?And is the motor an x or an xs?

The X has a torquemaster.Also key to know is what lower unit the motors come with, sportmaster or torquemaster?
The X has a torquemaster.
Thanks Walt.Going to speak with him in about an hour, he's in Texas and raced boats for years.He knows a lot about O/B's will let you know what I find out.Looked at new one's but this boat is almost new and the price is great.Talked to Eliminator and the price is just to much and no DCB Mach 22 available so I found Liberator and for the price and performance I don't think i can find a better boat.All The Liberators and cougar's are on the east coast.
KMG in San Diego now owns the DCB 22 mold. They make a VERY nice boat (Kevin used to work for DCB). If any of that helps at all.Thanks Walt.Going to speak with him in about an hour, he's in Texas and raced boats for years.He knows a lot about O/B's will let you know what I find out.Looked at new one's but this boat is almost new and the price is great.Talked to Eliminator and the price is just to much and no DCB Mach 22 available so I found Liberator and for the price and performance I don't think i can find a better boat.All The Liberators and cougar's are on the east coast.
Here is the deal,I was wrong.It currently has the X on it with the sport master and the other motor is a 1998 300 Pro max with the torque master.I agree that the XS would be a better new technology two stroke.Cool. Definitely make sure you end up with a sportmaster lower on either the x or xs, i think they are the same lower unit so it could be swapped to either motor. The torquemaster could blow out north of 75 ish, and that would be bad. The XS is a nice, no smoke late model motor and they sip fuel. The x's are gas pigs but have the most potential for being built. Either way it will be a low 100 mph boat, if it were me and the price was right with the XS I would do that, very turn key high tech motors compared to the old school x models.
Like I mentioned to Walt the Eliminator 21 is 100K and god now's what KMG would want for the 22.The new Liberator 21 is 59K and it's a 100MPH boat.I just don't want to get that deep in debt.I'm retired and got to stop flipping boats like I do,that's why I wanted to find a slightly used one that I could pay cash for.KMG in San Diego now owns the DCB 22 mold.

Oh, I agree that the liberator is a great value and great boat. Just wanted to share some info in case anybody didnt know.Like I mentioned to Walt the Eliminator 21 is 100K and god now's what KMG would want for the 22.The new Liberator 21 is 59K and it's a 100MPH boat.I just don't want to get that deep in debt.I'm retired and got to stop flipping boats like I do,that's why I wanted to find a slightly used one that I could pay cash for.
Nice boat,I want something with a single motor.I really think getting a boat with the 300 XS would be the best idea, reliable and good on fuel.
I think the X consumes ~70gph at wot?

Not hardly, fake news.
Have seen that boat,Way out of my price range.Here is a Mach 22 with a single 300xs. Just saw it on CL today. Not crazy about the colors myself but the boat looks clean.

Got a Call from Randy Corson of Liberator in Fla. tonight.He took a trade from a long time customer,2000 21 Lib .He asked if I would be into buying the boat with a total restore,everything new,gel of my choose.Thinking on staying with the same target and colors.Everything on a brand new 21 will be installed in this boat only difference is the hull being a 2000 and a low hr. 2015 300 XS.I bought it.

Try Klotz Super Techniplate with 20% castor,you wont be disappointed.I ordered online from Walmart of all places around $47 for gallon with free shipping. I still like 2 stroke smoke, it's just too bad the good Merc crap doesn't smell like 927
Looks bad ass, can't wait to drive it... I meant see it...real nice Joe I hope you are happy with this one
View attachment 621066 View attachment 621067 View attachment 621068 View attachment 621069 Spoke to soon,The Fla. boat deal fell thru so I'm buying the 2014 21 Lib. in Tex. with the 300X and the sport master lower, has a 30 clever prop on it and a 28 pro max prop with the boat also,the price for the boat is more then fair.The owner is a well known long time O/B guy in Austin that post's on scream and fly.We are going to meet in Tucson Sat. he's driving a hell of a long way, my part of the drive is about 350 miles from Bullhead. Think from Austin it's like 800+.Should be a fun little hot rod.
Thanks Walt,I will ask if it has one otherwise I'll get it.The owner run's one of the largest o/b dealers in Austin and he keeps this and his other three boat's and motors in top condition.Very cool, make sure the lower unit has a expansion tank installed. They are known to heat up push out the seals, several vendors make a fitting that you attach a hose to and run it up to a puke tank attached under the cowl.
Boat is bad ass.....the black and white just seems timeless...you did good buddy hopefully you will kept this one View attachment 621746 View attachment 621747 View attachment 621748
