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!!!!!!!!!
