Thread: Getting new boat! G3 or Xpress

Express.....I have been very happy with my express....My Yamaha 90hp is awesome and fires everytime without a problem. Just make sure you get a good trolling motor with the package...I have a 17ft camo express and when I bought it I didnt notice the 40lb trolling motor...I just upgraded to a 72lb...It moves now...also my express came with an all aluminum trailer...NO RUST...I happen to know the owner at Bayou Outdoors if you need any help.

I like my G3, 17 feet long, runs like a champ, and fishes good with 3 people in it.

I love my xpress. I've had it for almost 6 years and the hull is strong. The only problems I had with my motor was not my fault but the US government. Ethanol in gas.

I have a 08 Xpress 18' cc w/ a 90 yammy. It's a great boat, great setup, and there's not an aluminum boat sold that gets outta the hole like an xpress. I'de also look at the Cajun Specials, if you can find one. I had a 14' Cajun Special w/ a 30 yammy, loved that little boat. It was as tuff as nails and ran like a champ. I would have kept it but the family got to big for a 14' boat.

I bought a G3 in 2003 with a 40hp yamaha. I have 2 boys that fish it all the time and if it will hold up to them it's got to be a good boat

I'm boat shopping also...Triton has stopped making aluminum boats...G3 and Tracker have wood....Alumacraft has rivets...War Eagle(great boat but pricey)....I think I'm leaning towards Xpress XP170SS with spray liner and 60 Merc 4 stroke Bigfoot......I've talked to several dealers and H&M(Crowley) has the best prices around.....boat and trailer only can be purchasedThumbs Up

I have a 2004 xpress she has been road hard and put up weat alot. Shes 17' with a 90 yamaha. Every thing that has gone wrong was my fault! The factory prop did
not plane the boat well. I put the same pitch and dia. prop with some cup in it inproved the ride and i can run at a lower rpm planed out and save alot of gas! as stated 55 pt or higher trolling motor. Lots of luck with what you get and my you fill it with slabs!!!!!!!!!

I've had both and both are great boats.but the 2 boats I had were both 17.5' with 90 yamaha's on them.so I cant say much about the boats your looking at!!

good luck with your choice!!
