So I got an xpres CC w/ a 90 HP Yamaha. Got a great deal on it but it needs a little TLC.

What is the best thing to use for cleaning it up?

Where can I find replaceable cushions for xpress boats?

Recommend me a depth finder, no electronics included.

Where can I find a replaceable windshield.

All the compartments need to be cleaned out and it could use a good scrub.

Tilex for compartments if mold is present. Spray & forget.

Nice looking rig, doesn't look like it needs much TLC. Where/how did you find said deal?

I'll pick up some simple green.

What about new seats? Both the front seat and the leaning post need to be replaced.

I don't understand why boaters or anyone still use simple green. It causes corrosion.

It is a 2010 model w/ a 08 motor. Nada guide had it worth around $16500 I walked away with it at $11500. Think I got a damn good deal on it, the seller was great to work with.

I used purple power and a pressure washer to clean my xpress with the coating. Looked new even after 4 years. As far as windshield I'd contact xpress.

As for gps, get the lowrance hds7. They are on sale for 700$ on gpsstore.Com I just put one on my new boat. If that's too much money try the elite 5 or 7.

I had a xpress, they are good boats but I outgrew it and went to bigger fiberglass bay boat. Good luck let me know if you have any questions.

It's an alkali. Most large companies, including the air force, stopped using it years ago.
