2025 Bullet 21XST – High Performance Redefined

Welcome the latest in high-performance bass boats – the 2025 Bullet 21XST. As a proud dealer of Bullet Boats, Sartin Marine is excited to offer this remarkable vessel to those looking for speed, style, and top-tier craftsmanship. Designed with innovation and precision in mind, the Bullet 21XST is the perfect blend of performance and durability for both competitive anglers and boating enthusiasts.

Craftsmanship and Design

Built by Bullet Boats, a long-standing Tennessee manufacturer known for their small-batch production, the 2025 Bullet 21XST brings a new level of performance to the water. Measuring 21’10” long and 91 inches wide, and weighing in at just 1,380 pounds, this boat is built for speed. Remarkably, the 21XST isn’t rated for a specific horsepower limit, meaning that when properly rigged with a 250-hp motor, it can reach speeds exceeding 85 mph.

Expert Insight from Propeller Dynamics

According to Robby Patterson of Propeller Dynamics in Virginia, who has extensive experience with high-performance boats, the 2025 Bullet 21XST brings significant updates. Patterson notes:

“The 21XST is the same hull as the XRS with an updated interior and top cap. Bullet created more deck space by moving the console back and reshaping the bow deck to be wider forward.”

These updates result in a boat that’s not only faster but more practical for anglers. With the option for traditional opening rod lockers or gull-wing-style lockers, customization is key.

Top Features of the 2025 Bullet 21XST

Bullet Boats has equipped the 2025 21XST with a range of innovative features designed to enhance both performance and usability:

  • Trailer Twin Axle Disk Brakes with Elite Shield Upgrade – Ensures safe and smooth transport.
  • Padded Front Deck – Comfortable for long hours of fishing or cruising.
  • Oxygenator Livewell System – Keeps your catch fresh throughout the day.
  • Push-Button Analog Controls – No more rocker switches or unreliable touchscreens.
  • Oversized Mounting Spaces – Built to accommodate today’s advanced marine electronics.
  • Standard SeaDeck Material – In high-wear areas like the cockpit and passenger rod ramp for extra durability.
  • LED Lighting – Strategically placed on the floor, deck, and livewell for improved visibility in low-light conditions.
  • Two Day Box Compartments – Conveniently located in the front deck for easy access to essential gear.

Performance on the Water

The Bullet 21XST promises thrilling speeds and exceptional handling. Rigged with a 250 Mercury Pro XS, the boat is expected to achieve speeds in the mid-80s with a full tournament load. While larger motors can be installed, most anglers will opt for the 250-hp limit to comply with tournament regulations.

Why Choose Bullet Boats?

Bullet Boats remains a family-run business, producing around 100 boats per year—each built by hand. Known for their commitment to quality over quantity, Bullet Boats use balsa wood and Kevlar in their construction, creating vessels that are both lightweight and durable. Their ability to customize each boat down to the color scheme makes them a true leader in high-performance fishing boats.

As Robby Patterson highlights, “Bullet will build your boat to your exact specifications. If you want a custom color combination, they will make it happen after your approval.”
