Go check out my post from last year. Bought the h22B and have been impressed with it. Aluminum will last a life time in salt water, unless you plan on leaving it there. If your trailer, just rinse after use with fresh water.

I have seen it 10000000000000000000000000000000000 xs
You painting with a wide brush there "W"...........
Custom aluminum hulls like a Gravois, Gaudet's , Lifetyme, and others are not your average aluminum stamped out boat.

In fact more often than not, people do not see mine as alloy..........

But hey what do I know, I have a walk through windshield for goodness sake.

If you want an Xpress go to H&M in crowley. His prices are the lowest in the state.

They are low, but be warned. They are not real customer friendly.

I bought 2 boats from him.

He has helped me out but he is the only one that can help you over there. Heard people dog them before but all I can say is they move a huge volume of boats at H&M.

Buddy of mine in SPET bought a duck hunting boat (xpress with pro-drive) from them and he was very happy. Matter of fact, they were cheaper than Tommy @ H&M from what he told me.
