I've been running a 21' Xpress for 14 yrs. not a single boat problem! It'll do anything you want it to do!

I have the H20B and have been very happy with it, I did put the 150 on it which I would recommend if an option for you.

I have a Crestliner 1750 Fishhawk. I used to have an old 17ft Alumacraft flatbottom. The Crestliner hual is so damn solid, it really helps when you have to cross the lake on those windy days. All welded no rivots, down side is my model has plywood which sucks.

Guys, thanks for the feedback.
CamoKing, which boat model is that? Love that boat!!
From the feedback I'm getting, I'm leaning toward the H20B vs XP20CC based on the feedback of better ride in chop and handling while turning. Thats gonna be a War Eagle. If your looking for a used one, it doesn't happen very often!
Life is Good..<><

I have a Ranger RP 190 and would go back to glass boats if I could. Nothing wrong with the boat at all. I just like the way glass boats handle better than Aluminum.

If your going aluminum, get a DEEP V!
All alum, welded construction is a must

Nautical Mile Marine in Flint TX. has a 2016 G3 Bay 20 with the 150 SHO with less than 2 hours on it . only in the water 2 times. You can save about 10k on it . Pics on their Facebook page. I looked at it and it is like new but I went with the 2017 sportsman 17 PFC , the bay 20 was more boat than I need

I love my Crestliner Bay 2200 as well. Great boat. Had a 22 ft Nitro Bay before this one. Love my Crestliner more!

whatever u do stay away from G3, I know all aluminum boats are light but that G3 wobbles at every step made on it. my bud bought one and he wants out asap! be sure to go out on it b4 u purchase to see how wide it turns, how stable it is to walk on ect, everyone's different so opinions are different so go out on it a few minutes check it out. Any boat dealer worth his salt wont mind
