Leaning towards the Xpress Xp17, is there anything out there quality wise I should be looking at in that class? This will be my first "new" boat so trying to get something that I can hold for several years without worrying about a big pile of dough to keep running.

All depends on what features you want and how you will use the boat. When I realized I wanted an outboard for good, the Ranger caught my eye. Got it without carpet and have had for a year and a half and it is a great all around boat. Replies 1.
As far as aluminum bass boats go, Xpress is a great brand. We had a Even took it in saltwater a few times with no problems. Xpress bay boats, on the other hand, are pieces of shite. I go fishing with him on occasion and it's a nice rig. A couple of details could've been paid closer attention. But, it is definitely a nice boat. I wonder if we know the same guy Ranger is making some fine aluminum boats too.
I would buy a RTP in a heartbeat. Replies 3. I would not call xpress the gold standard. Google xpress boat problems are read about welds breaking etc. G3 Lowe, duracraft, ranger, etc make a solid aluminum boat. Xpress boats are priced they way they are for a reason.
Paid off now so no worries. I know of two of them. One I think works with my brother and the other is big into cycling, running and shite. The pics I saw had a sho I think it was.

Of course, there are better, more expensive options. Primarily the local boat builders like Gaudet's, Scully's, hanko, etc. Before I spent the money on an xpress, I'd go down towards Morgan city or Berwick.
Lots of boat builders down in that area like Skully's. Thicker aluminum hulls, and will pretty much build anything with what you want in it. There is a guy in Morgan City right off hwy 90 that a friend got a boat from that is awesome!!! That boat will last forever. Buddy of mine is selling I think an express boat with a low hour merc or yamaha on the back.
Talking under 9k. Itismemc Jacksonville St. I have an X21 and love it. The only other one i was considering was a Crestliner. I always recommend everyone shop all of the local builders before buying a mass produced aluminum rig.
They may want too much for what you want and that's fine. They can't compete with express prices, but they will absolutely deliver you a better product and the support after the sale will be the best you can get. At least give the local guys a chance make you an offer or maybe even turn you down before you give your money to a dealer. Everyone I've ever met as those yards has been a great down to earth guy who just likes building boats.
Xpress does build a good boat and what they do best is give people an affordable way to get a big boat with lots of space. It won't ride like a top line glass boat and you can't carelessly crash it into shite like you can with a custom rig, but it's definitely the best way to get a big boat on a budget.
Where can one find said boat It won't ride like a top line glass boat and you can't carelessly crash it into shite like you can with a custom rig, but it's definitely the best way to get a big boat on a budget You better look at Xpress prices again. A fully loaded Xpress will get you up there with the glass rigs. All aluminum boats have there advantages but If you're looking for performance in an aluminum boat, Xpress is the gold standard.
