I bought a bunch of those when they first offered them. Great box for 2.50. Same price for the 3600. I bought a few of those too. I also bought one of those yellow boat bags for half price to lug em around in.

I stopped at the Home Depot in Brandon, MS last week and they didn't have the boxes there. I guess I'll just stick to the Harbor Freight boxes. I've got 4 of those full of fishing stuff now. Lol

Too many boxes for my low storage express. I put all my same colors in a small ziplock bag and then use a worm bag. Can get 4 x the amount with less space used.

I have all my plastics in worm bags as well, use these for my Minner Teasers and Arkie 220s, works great.

ABH I have an "Xpress" also. I have 4 3700's of crank and swim baits, along with a spotlight , horn, first aid kit and various other things under the seats.In the side box I have jumper cables, ext. cord, rain suit and light jacket. Under the front deck I have an anchor, net, paddle, 24" golden rule, ropes, 6 life vests, dry box, a large bag of about 30 worm packs, a tackle bag with about 6 3700 boxes of crappie jigs and cranks, a drop shot bag, a wacky worm bag and I could easily carry another 20 or more of those boxes. I also carry a very large tackle bag with 9 boxes of baits, a medium bag with 5 boxes of jigs and about 10 jig poles and 10 bass rod and reels along with two 4 pole milenium holders and an 8 pole rack. And my partner usually brings a large and small tackle bag with at least 8 rod and reels. I don't see any storage problems with my Xpress HB20. "D"

I use ziplock baggies for all my plastics storage too. Boxes just take way too much room. I put all the same style plastics in a bag, all different colors together. I think it's easier to pick out the color I want through the baggie, than trying to see if it's a straight tail, curly tail, or paddle tail through it. Fewer baggies this way too, especially if you carry a ton of colors and fewer styles.

Hey D I have the 18 ft express and notes you have the 20ft. Big difference in storage probably. The 18 foot has a hatch in front of the front live well but things tend to roll back to the drivers side and you gotta stand on head to get em out. Not very user friendly. There is a small storage on the front step up deck that I use along with a rod box I use. Putting tackle boxes in them that are big is not an option. There is two small storage boxes one on each side of back boat and with wind socks and chains in them they are full.

Express would have better storage if they had a hatch in front of the driver cockpit on the deck next to the live well. That way you could access that dead space.

Just my two cents. I keep my big bag strapped to the deck in the back as no compartment for it. There is limited storage under the seat which isn't user friendly. I use that for my boat documents and extra oil for motor and extra life jacket.

Probably difference is 20 ft vs 18 ft. Only bad thing I can say about the 18ft is lack of storage. Could do with out a rear live well and use that for storage IMO been better. Have tried to plug off live well but didn't work too well.
