Some of you may remember that I spent a small fortune and hundreds of hours restoring an 1998 18’ Xpress. I love that boat and literally poured blood and sweat into it. However as I found out, it isn’t large enough to take my whole family out in. It also isn't fuel efficient enough to run all over lake Guntersville in. It's fine is I put in remotely close to where I want to fish, but running 15 miles like I did the other day puts a hurting on the 18 gallon tank.
So my wife and I were talking last week and she tells me to buy a bigger boat. It’s always smart to keep the wife happy so I got busy looking for one.
I wound up with a 2016 G3 Bay 20 DLX. I took her for a water test and brought her home. That sucker is sweet. It came with a new Gen 2 Solix SI, a Helix 10 SI, and a new Ultrex. My plan was to sell the Ultrex and buy an Ulterra to put on it but after a quick lake run after work I’m gonna have to ponder over that a while. That Ultrex is nice.
I’ll be putting my Xpress up for sale before long. I’m gonna hate to see her go.

Congratulations that's defiantly a nice looking boat and I'm kind of partial to center consoles I think you will like the room it has and the much better fuel mileage you will get I can't wait to see it.

Good looking Rig. You are going to like that center console I think. You are really going to like the Yamaha. Good to see that you do what your wife says. I'm sure a lot of others would like to have one who strongly suggest they buy boats and fishing stuff.

Nice boat! Congrats you will enjoy that! I really like my 1860 center console. I will have me a 20ft one day, hopefully my wife will suggest to get a bigger boat one day! It is a lot easier to load on the trailer since you are in the middle of the boat and not on the side. I'm a pretty good sized feller and with a side console I had to try to sit in the middle to get my other boat to load right. Also just an FYI, the grab bar or steering wheel is a good handle to hang off the side of the boat in emergency situations where you cant make it to the bank .
