    kinda like that old saying "no replacement for displacement". sounds like you would be a lot happier off with a glass boat. A glass bay boat may just be exactly what you're looking for bc I know you like the lay out of that xpress.

    I have still got rod bounce in my 20.5' glass boat. Its not a Ranger but it's a 3400lb rig plus all the other stuff and my big butt.
    Keep it simple seems to come to mind in this situation...

    Ballast bags work great. They fold up for easy storage when not in use.
