Bass boat, bay boat or flats boat???

[all star rod]

The Xpress bay boat I have (X22BAY) has the Hyper-lift hull which is .125" thick. The dry weight of the boat is 1700 pounds which is more than a lot of glass boats of the same size. This boat also has a pad and a V. The HD hull is .100" thick and has more of a jon-boat hull. I had a HD and got rid of it. Anything over 1' seas you got your AZZ pounded. My X22B is not a glass boat, however, it is a great riding boat and really very dry. If you get your AZZ pounded in it, you do not need to be on the water. Currently, my X22B is in AR at their shop. It developed a small hair-line crack (right at 1 year) in a weld-seem thru on fault of me. The hyper-lift is a good hull. I just happen to have a case of bad luck. I know several people that have the hyper-lift hulls (Bay & Bass) with no issues. Unless you bang on something, Xpress has a life time warrany. However, if my boat developes another crack, from my conservation with them, they will likely give me a new hull. So far I have been happy with their response time on repairing the boat. I should get it back next week. All things screw up, it is how a company takes care of those issues. I remember reading several weeks ago about someone having a fiberglass boat with issue and the manufacture replaced the boat.
In the end, no company will warrant something if you cause the damage by hitting something....
