War Eagle or Xpress

Figured I would get the OB's opinion before I pull the trigger on this, since I know ya'll will not steer me wrong.
I want a duck hunting/bass-breams fishing with the kiddos/pull kiddos in the inner-tube or kneeboard with the SO boat. About narrowed it down to an Xpress and a War Eagle. Leaning toward the XPress Explorer XP200 although I like the War Eagle as well. Debating on motor size though between the 115 and 150.
Duck hunting will be on the river when it gets up. Probably will put an Avery on it. Fishing will be wherever the fish are biting in NorfEast LA. My main concern is pulling my 200+ pound kid around tubing and such with my wife and 5 yo daughter on board. Don't know if going to a 150 is justified?

I'm looking at an Xpress now too. I've fished out of them before. They're very solid boats. You can beat the hell out of them.
I've got no experience with war eagle but as a bama fan isn't it a sin for you to be associated with something of that name?

both are nice boats. Alx and I can attest to the fact that you can hit a bridge piling with an Express at 15-20 kts when your go-devil hits a stump and you are sliding out of control on the way to White Lake, with minimal damage to the boat, more to the ribs when you hit the leaning post.

Have an Xpress H51 bass rig...think its a 2003 model has been a great boat. Fished rivers to the bay to big water like Toledo Bend and Sam Rayburn.
Have no experence with a War Eagle.

This is my boat. Probably more bass boat than what OP is looking for but it's for sale.

I have a War Eagle and I like the boat. I have ridden in the Express and like it as well.
I would shop for the best deal.
War Eagle might get the nod on durability of their paint system also.

Which brand motor comes on them? I am a strict Yamaha fan so that would sway my decision greatly.
I've riden in a War Eagle it was a great boat and I wouldn't hesitate to buy one. I understand that the xpress is a great boat as well.
Also, have you looked at a G3?
