Here is André Lefebvre’s
brand new 2011 Sanger DXII Barefooter equipped with the Indmar L96 6.0L
– 400HP engine.
André, who also owns 2
other Sanger DXIIs (a 2003 (MX 6.2L - 340HP) and a 2006 (HO 8.1L –
425HP)) bought his new boat threw the Sanger/BFC Canadian Promo Program
(Link). The program basically gave two new 2011 Sanger DXII owners a
considerable rebate and a free Super Fly High tower extension in return
for them allowing their new boats to be used at the 2011 Canadian
Barefoot Nationals that were held on the Soulanges Canal in Les Cčdres,
QC.

Since André was the only
person to commit to the program before the deadline date, he proposed to
keep his new boat in his winter home in Florida in exchange to lend his
2 other Sanger DXIIs for the Canadian Nationals instead.

André has received
nothing but positive comments regarding his new boat. Mike Frankenbush,
who often skis with André, was amazed by the driving, performance, wake
and look of the boat. He states that this boat is simply the best
barefoot boat he has ever driven and skied behind!

I have driven and skied
behind it and I must agree with Mike’s comments. For me, the Indmar L96
6.0L - 400HP upgrade is a no brainer and totally worth it for any
serious barefooter! The boat is even better looking in person,
especially on the water. The metal flakes in the Silver ellipse design
cannot be justified on a picture. The sparkling effect of the sun’s
reflection on the water makes the boat glitter on the water.
Performance wise, the
acceleration and speed control (boat is equipped with ZeroOff GPS based
speed control) is awesome! You simply set the speed and forget about it.
The system does not overshoot, even if you slam the throttle arm to wide
open throttle position! Plus you will only get acceleration fast enough
to qualify for a fast start but not to fast to rip the handle out of
your arms. The top speed I witnessed with 4 people in the boat (approx
700lbs crew) was 51.6 MPH at around 5100 rpm. The wake is simply
perfect. The wake is as good as the MX6.2L if not better.

André is selling one of
his Canadian based Sanger DXIIs. He has no preference, so whichever one
he sells first, he keeps the other. Both boats come with the color match
trailer and are pretty much fully equipped.
