I have had one for 3 years. Run, don't walk from this boat. Mine has been back to the factory and the floor pops and buckles. Another thing is it is not a balanced boat, hardest boat to put back on the trailer I have ever had. As hard as I have tried I can't hunt down a leak. Now I paid my money and that is my feelings about Xpress. John

Sold my Alumacraft 175CS deep v because I was tired of buffing out the scratches from fishing the timber and wanted to get into the shallow water. Researched and researched and bought a War Eagle Blackhawk 2170 Catfish side console, me and the wife drove out of state to get it. Built like a tank and has more storage than a walk in closet. Running a Yamaha 150, atlas jack plate; will run 52mph on perfectly smooth water, 45mph+ on everything else. Twice now, once at Fork and once at Hubbard Xpress owners have walked up to my boat and after looking at it have said boy I should have got one of those. Other than some minor problems with dealer installed items that I was able to resolve here locally I have had zero issues. Second runner up was Sea Ark but the War Eagle was already at the dealer and a better deal $$$.

I really appreciate all the replies. This is what I call a major purchase and want to make the right choice.
