I'm interested in 17-18 x or h series xpress. Any fans out there and who did you buy from in North Texas? Thanks for the input. I'm looking at lighter aluminum in order to tow behind a Jeep.

Xpress = tin can
My budy has the 21' with the 225yam and it's nothing but problems. He kicks himself everytime he goes out in it. Not to mention if it's windy the thing blows all over the lake.

I love my Xpress TXD 21 from www.WestBoats.com best dealer there is. Xpress has a smoother ride than many glass boats. No TIN what so ever... it's all welded aluminum 
Had a couple with a new 07 Skeeter tell me they were going to sell it and get another Xpress for the ride

Just like anything else, it isn't the boat hull that fails in saltwater, it's everything else.
Why saltwater boats have:
Galvanized/aluminum trailers.
No carpet.
Saltwater electrical connections.
saltwater troll motors

Rode in a 22ft express with a 225 e-tec and I liked it pretty well espcially if you are going to fish really, really stumpy lakes and rivers like the red. If i had to get aluminum i would go with express. However it dont hold a candle to my legend
