Nice ride....just like mine but I have the green....How do you like it?????
I love mine.....I had the HD before this one......like night and day difference......A lot of people on here bash aluminum boats but this is not like your normal flat bottom boat. It is heavier then a lot of glass boats of the same length plus it has the hyper-lift hull with a V.....Not sure if you have a jack plate....If not get one....I got a 6" plus will love the Yamaha 4 Stroke.....

Angler us Aluminum boat owners have to take up for one another....too may aluminum boat haters on this site......again I love my boat but if I really wanted to spend the $$$ I would get a 22' blazer bay fisherman....NEW...I do not like used stuff unless it is almost like new...like this one.......

Goatro.....I would add a water pressue guage and for like 75$ you can add an hour meter that mounts onto the motor....all you have to do is remove the cover and you will see it....I think it is a nice feature...

I have to say, I fished out of a friends Xpress and got beat to death in V Bay. I was all about getting an Xpress over a fiberglass until I rode in his. For an inshore boat though you can't beat it, just not the thing to be in when there's a good chop on the water.

This thing rides great. Like you said this aint your daddy's aluminum boat. Great holeshot and it runs strong. Big jump from my flat cc boat. Jackplate should be on soon it will be a 6" manual.

Longside was it the Hyperlift hull or the HD hull??????.....Big difference......I had the HD hull and this is why I do not have it anymore....i

I'm not positive but it's probably the HD hull if I had to guess. It was by far the roughest riding boat I had been in.

This is the X bay it runs like a bass boat.

O ok, well very nice boat. What's the "other boat" you need to sell now?

all star rod · #13 10-14-2009, 08:50 PM

I agree the HD hull is rough......that is why Xpress may get a bad wrap....... because most people do not really know the difference between the two hulls....It would be like me riding in a Carolina Skiff saying....man I rode in a fiberglass boat and it was rough.....Xpress is really the only aluminum boat maker (mass production) to make a real bay boat hull. The majority of Xpress boats you see have the HD hull...
