Xpress makes quality boats there at the top of mass produced aluminum boats I own a 1870vj 2003 and never had a problem . I think you could have gotten a bad boat or that particular model may have had issues . I have also seen owners not putting it on the trailer right stressing the hull or over weighting the boat stuff like that
I have an express when I trim it all the way out or up I have a large amount of play in my steering wheel is there any way of adjusting cable on this type of staring
I owned a 1756VJ model Xpress boat that I bought new and some things just in first year I noticed that were not made well was the front deck was just spot welded instead of one solid bead which welds broke twice on front deck also back transom broke twice from just normal wear and tear. Had to pay a aftermarket welder to beef that up. Also front welded eye hook that secures the boat to the trailer broke off, so the factory fix was a U bolt put in it's place. One more thing the axle wasn't properly installed on the diamond city trailer from the factory so my tires wear out to the steel belt just on the inside but still have half tread left on outside of the tire. Not impressed to say the least!!
I thought Xpress made good boats...until i bought one and the hull cracked on one of the bends in the aluminum. I had the dealer tig weld it back twice. Still has a crack in it today and im about to send it off somewhere else to get it welded a third time. All the screws keep backing out. Every 2 or 3 times i go out i have to go through the boat and retighten all the screws. The console came loose and i had to replace all the screws with stainless bolts so the console will stay in place while im driving. The way the boat was designed, it is impossible to fuel up at a marina. I have to trailer the boat and go to the gas station and put the boat back into the water, all because the fill point is slightly lower than the tank when it is in the water. I have talked with two other Xpress boat owners and they have the same problem as me.
Thanks for the review. I’ve loved your boats after seeing them on SEEK ONE youtube channel. Think you could collaborate with MAV youtube channel, seeing as he is an Outdoorsman and Fisherman, and that he is in Minnesota land of 10,000 lakes, and home to a couple of boat companies
Been in manufacturing for 24 years and this video showed me nothing, well maybe even though a good boat but a very dysfunctional layout of a plant, to crowded, to much on top of each other, but if it works for y'all keep up the good work
I have read all of the information I could find about the XPRESS Bass Boats & have yet too see any mention of livewell capacities in them? Is it a secret or what?It's important information as is what time of livewell system circulation pumps,oxygen system(if any) & other recirculating pumps.If anyone knows where this information is listed Please share it so others may also find it since I'm sure I'm not the only person wondering about these items.Also since I am a Mercury & Motorguide Man can these boats be purchased rigged out with Mercury Outboards & a Motorguide Hand Controlled trolling motor from the factory? If not those items would rule me out as a possible buyer.I have no use for a Yamaha outboard or Minn Kota trolling motor & those items are deal breakers for me.Mercury Marine has more service centers than any other & they have been very good to me & reliable as have Motorguide trolling motors.Thanks for any information & God bless! {:>)
I’m sure Xpress makes a quality boat. But I have to give the winner to a Ranger aluminum boat. If for no other reason than the Transom. The transom in the Ranger aluminum boat are the same as their Fiberglass boats. They’re made out of Pultrusion. Now as for the video. No telling of where the factory is. No explanation of the kind of aluminum. Although we know that there is no wood in the boats, there still was no mention of it or telling what on the boat is actually welded. Looks to me like someone just loves flying their little drone.

Show it by Lionel eg, flat bottoms, bass boats, multi-species deep v. etc. could tell much from this video
Meant Line, not Lionel

My H20b I believe the guy said was a 15 gallon bait in front of the console and a 28 gallon live well in front of the motor
Stated like a true Mercury man, buys a motor based on how many repair places there are. :-)
The rest of the plant looks just like their inventory control .... Joke .....
Robert barnes what ya mean? You don’t like their boats ?
It ain't no Gator Trax
no and they cost way less and are just as fast and i think they ride better.
cbv
seemed more of a commercial than a tour
neeeeeeeeeeeeeeerd ))

Very non-informative video! Wouldn't even make a good commercial!
