My Dad got an Xpress last year, it's legit as hell. Shallow draft, takes a beating and fast as all get out.

If you go with the express you have to get the hyper lift hull for the smoother ride.

No doubt gotta get the Hyper hulll and you'll want a few more HP (50-75) than the stock motor.

G3 makes a really nice CC aluminum boat as well.


Just took a look at their site. I like how high the sides are and how they sit up so far out the water.

above model also comes in CC

You have my attention. We've had Ranger bass boats all throughout my childhood and youth, im a believer in that company.

My 2 cents- don't get a center console.

I've had both types and I much prefer something with a full windshield.

I concur with the aluminum.

You didn't mention cost but I would be looking for a Hanko's/Scully type boat if the budget allows.
