Replacing my Ocean X for XDP Composite.... Finally

I finally pulled the trigger and ordered a composite drive to get rid of my Ocean X drive should be a great improvement. The XDP composite won't have any corrosion and the dealer told me they are really reliable over Ocean X, they're also gonna give me $500 off for them keeping my Ocean X.

    Wait....what? Did you get that backwards? Thought the XDP Composite were the bad ones?

    Um....something is very not right here. It’s not April fools yet so is there some other joke day out there?

    The Ocean X were really expensive initially and the XDP were a really good deal so this makes more sense. Give back the expensive ones and put in something that's a better price. Now I don't need to worry about any sort of corrosion on the drive since it's basically plastic.

    Why did they take the word gullible out of the dictionary?

    Because someone replaced there ocean x with xdp 😆. Also I don't even have ocean x in full truth. This is what bored at home will do to a person.

    I think he just wanted to see if we were really paying attention.

    Most forums I follow, you would've had your butt chewed by several people for that swap. Not that we all weren't THINKING about it, but I had a feeling it was some sort of joke lol

    Seriously this time? You heard of somebody replacing Ocean X with XDP? Wow. Either they really didn't do their research, or the shop took them good.

    Maybe I'll make this post over at the hull truth 😂 I'm sure I can get some people really fired up.

     I was looking up the XDP yesterday just out of curiosity(I already am aware of the issues) and then I remembered someone recently put ocean x on there boat so I figured I'd post for a reaction. 

     It is unfortunate that the composite was such a disaster because it seems like it could have been good but now no one would ever do it again after that mess.

    I was just saying that's why they took gullible out of the dictionary.
