These two aluminum bass boats are on my short list bass boats to buy - pro's and con's of each , your experiences? Your thoughts? Never owned either, but I've ridden in both. If I was going to buy one, it would be Xpress by a mile. I actually was planning on buying one before I found the boat I currently own.
Ranger, Triton, Crestliner, etc. I have not had any experience with the newer Tracker boats but I have had an older riveted boat that I was not crazy about. I've only got 10 hrs on it to break in the motor so far but I would probably have paid the 2k anyway. I love it! I appreciate the replies to date - while I will look at the other tins - I have heard that the Xpress especially with with hyper lift was in a class by iteself.
I see Triton , Crestliner , etc. While the Xpress may be slightly more expensive than other tins I'm in the : "buy once - cry once" camp. It is going to be a retirement gift to myself so I'll enjoy the research! Unless you go with a custom, the only production boat that is similar to Xpress is the Sea Ark Stealth.
I had an older Xpress and loved it. It was an H50 foot and was just a tad small or I'd still be in it. I like Tracker boats.. They fit a specific niche in the market The Xpress X series while not having the open space of the Hydrolift series looks to have the better platform for bass fishing for me - how does the X series ride? Like most other pad hull boats. My first Xpress ride was in an X19, a 12 mile run on Lake Ontario in the standard long rollers that toss most boats around.
Rode fine, can get rough in chop over 2', like any bass boat. On the XP the rod box is in the way of the passenger's legs, the decks are kinda short. At this time 18 ft. I may consider one size up if it was a great deal tough and it wasn't too much of a issue to manage by myself.
Hopefully the 18 ft. I get that no one want's to get beaten to pieces by a boat Most of us spend hours fishing for every minute we ride I would think that fishability would lead the charge for any serious I see other boats in the future using thicker aluminum so the can hang larger engines.
I don't have any Xpress dealers anywhere close, but my Crestliner dealer is 30 minutes from me. I don't believe there is a huge difference in the tins sold today.
I need to expand as far as Xpress Aluminum Boats Reviews 100 getting beat to death in a boat. Much of that has to do with the driving of the boat and not the boat itself. Hitting waves at the correct angle and speed will affect the comfort and dryness of the ride. Fishability is important - the more stable the tin with less tipping side to side is preferred. Xpress has a pad hull, but most tins don't. I fish three out of my VT19 and there is no leaning. Glad to hear Xpress bass boats are stable fishers and resistant to tipping side to side.
I respectfully disagree. Let's go back to common sense outweighs anything else. Those that do, should have enough sense to navigate safely. By conditions, I don't only mean weather and bottom conditions. Boat traffic, boat wakes drunk boaters, water skiers, jet skis, and whatever else you can think of all pose issues. My home water is the busiest inland waterway per acre in the United States.
There is a 25 mile stretch of river with the average width about the length of a football field with no speed limit and no shortage of weekend wack jobs in their ft boats. Common sense says if I'm fishing a tourney, that I am off that stretch of river before or I spend all day down there and allot extra time to return to the ramp safely. We had a guy sink a brand new 20ft Ranger in an area called the washtub during a tournament a few years back. I bought my boat knowing I would be spending time on Lake Michigan.
I know a guy who fishes Lake Michigan for salmon out of a 16ft Lund Mr. Pike tiller steer and has been doing it for 20 years. He also fishes my home lake and wouldn't be caught dead anywhere near that stretch of river Common sense. As another poster mentioned - Crestliner deserves a mention as it appears to be a nice boat.
A couple of friends mentioned Triton and G3 but not sure if they are in the same league as Xpress , Crestliner? I've tried to like the Ranger but I don't like the shape plus I believe other manufacturers can offer similar quality at a better price.
Any comments? Crestliner makes a nice boat. Fit and finish is really tight on these boats. G3 Yamaha also a good boat worth considering. Never been in a Triton tin, but I've been in plenty of their glass boats. The ones I drove took some "driving" to prevent chine walk at high speeds. You can post now and register later.

Catt 22, Posted February 1, If you're talking Xpress Hyper-Lift hull the discussion end there! Bluebasser86 32, Posted February 1, J Francho 19, Posted February 1, I owned an Xpress.
There's zero comparison to Tracker. XpressJeff Posted February 1, Last month I bought a new leftover H17 Xpress for more than 2k cheaper than a Tracker. Posted February 2, AC Posted February 2, Further North 1, Posted February 3, Posted February 3, Xpress every time. ChrisD46 Posted February 3, Catt 22, Posted February 3, J Francho 19, Posted February 3, Sittin there reelin em in 48 Posted February 3, They both can get to hard to get places but I'm a bass tracker fan though.
Good luck! What size boat ya looking for?
