Now back to the topic. I owned an hd 20 a few years ago, great boat in rivers and the marsh, it killed me with any chop. Pros are it will last a lifetime, run shallow and us cost effective. Cons to me are that it is loud with any chop and not a great boat in open water with 10 knots or more facing you. Good luck with your decision.

That just about sums it up. I had a xpress CC, it was all of the above. Originally bought it because of overall cost and fished alot of shallow marshes where open water and wind were not a very big factor. However if you are ever caught out in open water and the wind and chop pick up, it is a very rough and wet ride..I alos got mine from H & M Marine in Crowley. They had good prices and I never had any trouble when I brought it in for maintnenace.
So in the end it is probably what is most important you, they are a good product for an aluminum boat, but jst like any other boat aluminum or glass, they will all have their own benefits and their own downfalls...
