Zach I just got mine back from the welding shop, They did a great job on the repair. They ran 2x2x 1/4 angle Iron inside the spring hanger. He started about a foot in front of the spring hanger and ran it to the back of the trailer. Then came back and welded a alum. double on top of the tube. It should last till I get rid of this piece of junk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bryan, are you saying the trailer is junk? How do you feel about the boat? How does it do on rough water? What type of fishing do you normally do(rivers, small lakes, or large lakes). What part of the country are you located? Thanks!
xpress has upgraded some of there trailers depending the size boat. The one I have is a 2017 model and yes it's junk. when you go look at the boats look at all the welds on the boats and the trailers then you'll see what I'm talking about. As for the boat mine still has the crack in the bottom. the transom has a crack on both sides and I always use a motor support when traveling. they will never fix that the right way. If the water is rough it'll beat you up and you'll be wet. I fish Sam rayburn and Toledo bend those are big lakes both can get rough quick if the wind picks up. Good luck if you buy one!!
I own a 15' 46" xpress duck boat and I love it too. I use it to catch just about anything you can think of from bass to redfish to crabs to frogs and everything in between. Got a little 25 Yamaha 2 stroke. Runs like a top. I'll never sell that little boat.
I have had decent luck with my xpress. Mines an older model that they dont make anymore...X70. Its similar to X19 at 18'10"...its rated to hold up to a 175hp. I beat mines up on some bigger lakes and it's fine, no leaks. My trailer is also full box steel frame vs the alum trailers now. Trailer is heavy but I dont see the complaints alot of people are complaining about with their trailers. Mines was built in 2004 so I guess back then, they built better trailers vs now.
I have the H20 Bay pro and one thing I can’t stand is it’s designed for the water on the deck to run into the storage compartments something that would have kept me from buying this boat had I known this. My question is does it run inside the bass boat compartments the same way?
Xpress seem like great boats. My aluminum Vexus is fantastic and I don’t think I’d get a fiberglass for what i do. Aluminum bass boats are definitely making a name for themselves in the market. Keep it up!
The trailers aren't great I agree, if I bought a newer express I would immediately take it to a trusted welder and have them look over all the welds and joints.
Nice job, Harvey !

Good video Harvey
Nice boat indeed
Is that possible rigging with Mercury pro xs 4 stroke ?
I believe Xpress is partnered with Yamaha but I know you can get a merc on a Crestliner of the same size (don't know why you'd want one tho 🤪).
Yes you can get a Xpress with a Mercury
Only thing I worry about with switching to aluminum for my bass fishing career is how steady does it stay when walking around on it
Oh almost for got I used flex seal on the last three cracks that xpress repaired.... Hope it works I'm going fishing.....
They have a good warranty. You'll need it with those 3-4' waves. As for the trailer you'll have to pay for those cracks yourself
yup the trailer looks like garbage on the express
Weld it yourself.

Right on. Thanks for sharing your thoughts here Lurloc.
Aluminum weight savings alone is worth it
Was that a gar he had hooked??
Hey man!
Nice video friend
Yeah well my trailer just broke!! 3 years old There junk.

If your smart you'll buy a glass boat
