Here are some preview pictures of the brand new Pulsare 2000 BRX model that has just been released.

Kip sent these pics over and tells me that there will be some special preview pricing available, including a base model with handful of options and equipped with a Optimax 115 which will be very attractively priced - best to check with your local dealer for details.

The 2000 Pulsare model is built and set up very similar to the 2400 BRX and with the 115 Opti it topped out at approximately 50 MPH. Kip reports that when tested with the 115, the boat got on plane very quickly with very little bow lift, so it should make quite a good ski boat as well.

Enjoy the pics!
