Thanks Cray. I have really enjoyed this fishing boat it is a kick in the tail. I have owned Skeeters, Champions, and I just sold a nearly new Ranger, but I had to quit fishing for about four years because of health reasons. I had just bought the Ranger when my health went into the cellar.
I am healthy again as long as I take my meds, but I can no longer fish off of a platform boat. I looked at several different fishing boats before I settled on this Xpress. My wife and took a trip up to Hot Spring to the factory and saw how they were built and all the quality that goes into each one.
After the tour, I told the factory man that I wanted to buy one. They can't sell you one, but he called my closest dealer, which is Billy Sartin at Sartin Marine in Yantis or lake Fork.
I have never bought a new boat this cheap in my life. It was only $12,500 out the door. This is absolutely the very best fishing boat I have ever owned. It comes with a 40 or 50 hp 4 stroke. I got the 40 and it pushes me 38 mph accross the water.
Maybe a little more info than you wanted to know, but I'm just tickled pink.
Not at all, good to see someone that is proud of what they have. I know just how you feel. Bought a new to me War Eagle stick steer last fall with 50 Yamaha 4 stroke. Boat was just like brand new been sitting in shed for a couple of years because gentelman who owned had become ill then passed away. Always thought i wanted one and this deal was to good to pass up. Love the boat and the way it fishes. I have a bad leg so hard for me to get off and on decks so this perfect set up. Like you i have owned all kinds of boats in my life and i think this is the best.

Cray, what part of the country do you live in?
I live near Pittsburg, TX out on Bob Sandlin Lake.
If you are ever in my neighborhood, send me a message and we will hook up and maybe we could slip up on slab or two.
Just got my lights installed from Bob #1 Reel Lites
