re: Bass Boat Itch..

I have a 2002 Xpress 17' Bass boat with the 115 yamaha (it has the upgraded package - it normally comes with the 90 hp)
It is a great boat. My FIL gave it to me when he got his 18' Xpress. I put in new carpet, new lowrance elite 5 DSI chartplotter/depthfinder and an amp/speakers. I say for a must - have a well powered trolling motor. The carpet has its ups and downs - it is MUCH cooler than bare alum. The down side to bass boat is there isnt much room for ice chest. A depthfinder on the bow would be nice too. The live well is great but wont keep 10+ fish alive unless running all the time so having a fish and food/drink ice chest takes up room. I take it from bayou black to last island (on good days)
If i would be in a position to buy a bay boat, id sell you my Xpress, so if you are still looking next summer, get back with me

Buy as big as you can afford. And try to get a bigger trolling motor if you can.
