I have always used Tracker Boats for fishing. But this being the last fishing boat I buy, I hope?? Show or tell me about better one's. I have been looking at a 2018 Xpress X17 Pro with a Helix 7 & 9 already on it.
90 hp 4 stroke, with 11 hours???????????? What's something like this worth??
You can get a 18 foot Alumacraft for what you will pay for the express and get a better riding bo at in my opinionQuote:

Boat show in the ham this weekend. Go kick a few tires, and see what suits ya.
That being said, I really like my g3.
alan look up ashley boat center in opelika they are a express dealer or call bill at big river marine he is an express dealer also
I've fished out of most and Express is by far the best ride of any aluminium boat that a working man can buy. But really they are all pretty close now days.

I had a G3 17.5ft and liked it until my family grew. I now have a XPress 20ft. My parents have a Rhino 17.5 Side Console and my grandpa has a Rhino 17.5 Stick Steer.
The Rhino is a lot more sturdy than the G3 because of the wide bottom. The Xpress is more sturdy than all but I can't really compare a 20ft boat to a 17.5ft boat.
If I had to go to a smaller boat it would be a Rhino because they ride smoother because they are heavier.
I'm on my 3rd Xpress. Can't beat the ride. Just about like a glass bass boat.
I have fished out of Xpress x17 with Yamaha F115 for several years and the ride ain't bad.
I had fished out of a bigger xpress before and got a deal on this one.
That said, there are many different aluminum boats that fish and ride well.

No idea on what it's worth, but I don't think you can go wrong with an Xpress. Only thing I don't like about mine is it's 18' 6" not 21'
The Tracker Grizzly 1860 is a good boat also, I have fished out of one with my nephew. I like my Triton 1860 aluminum also....plenty of good boats out there.
I've got an 18ft sea ark. I like it but I settled. I wanted a 20ft center console but couldn't find one for a decent price when I was looking. My next one WILL be a 20 ft or longer center console. I may get a divorce over it but man, they nice.
Seark or war eagle .best it is.
That's what I have....have owned a lot of boats and they were all good but I love my SeaArkQuote:

Lots of good boats to choose from. I've owned several over the years, the SeaArk was without a doubt the stoutest. Have since transitioned to a deep V, my choices were narrowed down to alumacraft or lund. Ended up buying a lund, had the alumacraft dealership gotten back with me regarding my questions it probably would have been alumacraft due to the multiple choices for engine brands. The 16' deep V alumacraft classic is hard to beat for the money. In the end I purchased a lund alaskan deep v 16' tiller..........love it.
I have rode in many. I did not care for the Xpress much. I have never owned a sea ark but have rode in several and they were all nice rides. I hated Fisher, Lowe was pretty decent, and the Ranger I now have is nice.
