We have War Eagle boats on closeout and wondered where you think they rate as far as a good crappie boat.
We caught 40 or so at Toledo Bend last weekend.

I think they would be great. I have a 18 foot all weld aluminum Express and take it up in the timber and skinny water. The heaver fiberglass boats have the advantage in open water and wind.

I like the War Eagle way more betterer than my Bass Tracker for that type of fishing. Catfishing is even better.


From Genesis: "And God promised men that good and obedient wives would be found in all corners of the earth."

Then He made the earth round...and He laughed and laughed and laughed!

Got rid of my War Eagle two years ago,cause I got sick and tired of getting SOAKED every time the wind picked up.They're fine if there is little or no wind.

Shouldn't this be in the classifieds due to it being an ad for Fun N Sun Boats?

I have a 1870 Xpress center console and wouldn't trade it for anything else...Being 70" across the bottom makes it super stable and drafts skinny...

Had an Xpress for 10 years and loved it! Never had a single problem.
