    Default What Boat??


    I have always used Tracker Boats for fishing. But this being the last fishing boat I buy, I hope?? Show or tell me about better one's. I have been looking at a 2018 Xpress X17 Pro with a Helix 7 & 9 already on it.
    90 hp 4 stroke, with 11 hours???????????? What's something like this worth??

    You can get a 18 foot Alumacraft for what you will pay for the express and get a better riding bo at in my opinion

    I've fished out of most and Express is by far the best ride of any aluminium boat that a working man can buy. But really they are all pretty close now days.

    I had a G3 17.5ft and liked it until my family grew. I now have a XPress 20ft. My parents have a Rhino 17.5 Side Console and my grandpa has a Rhino 17.5 Stick Steer.

    The Rhino is a lot more sturdy than the G3 because of the wide bottom. The Xpress is more sturdy than all but I can't really compare a 20ft boat to a 17.5ft boat.

    If I had to go to a smaller boat it would be a Rhino because they ride smoother because they are heavier.

    I'm on my 3rd Xpress. Can't beat the ride. Just about like a glass bass boat.

    I have fished out of Xpress x17 with Yamaha F115 for several years and the ride ain't bad.
    I had fished out of a bigger xpress before and got a deal on this one.
    That said, there are many different aluminum boats that fish and ride well.

    It's not the numbers or the size, it's the time spent on the water!
