Just bought me a 1995 Aluma Weld Xpress 18' H-56 with 85 Yamaha. Never owned a high quality, welded-ALL-aluminum bass boat before, and I'm blown away by it, especially the high performance, radical hull design - I can just sit and stare at it for hours... Even at 27 years old, this boat's handling and performance just takes my breath away. Can't believe my good fortune finding it, and for a "song", at that (compared to a new one)... I'm an Xpress Bass Boat fan for life!
There is a guy here in Mobile Al that has one with a tuned 250 SHO on it. A couple of months ago during a tournament, I was running about 74 on GPS in my Triton 21HP and he came by me like I was tied to a stump.
It looks nice! I drive around if I want to travel more than 30 mins..always another boat dock since I'm not fishing tournaments. Love, love , Aluminum bass boats. I gave up multiple fiberglass bass boats to buy a simply amazing hull in a 1988 Fisher Aluminum. It gets in 6-8 inches of water and a 40 horse pushes it 35ish mph and I can run all weekend on about 5 gallons of gas! Since I'm alone 99% of the time it's all the boat I honestly need. Tows like a feather too. Tons easier on my vehicle than those heavy fiberglass boats I used tow around.
Welcome to the Xpress family. On my 3rd one in 20 years and love the boat. Sea Dek is the best ever. They really do ride good, very near a glass boat but with other advantages also.
@@LukeDunkinsTravelingCircus I’ve got the previous model H17 which is narrower than the new ones, so it can get into some tight spots. Come on down around Biloxi, and you can take a ride in this one around the marsh
That x21 will be great in the ruff stuff. My older x70 (19 ft) takes beatings every year in windy south Dakota lakes up here in the nord...with a 10" Bob's hydro jackplate.
Planning on getting a X21 in May. Love the Sea Deck, everything sold me on the boat when I looked at it. Think the biggest the was fuel economy in the boat and truck.
If you have the ear of the folks at the manufacturer, you should suggest they bring back the DV series. Love my 2008 DVX175FS but it’s lacking some modern features. Or make a 4-5 seater deep X series like the lund pro-v bass. That’d be a hot seller with us family guys.
I bought a new X19 Pro in 2018. The only problem I've had was running out of gas and taking off once with my trolling motor down. Self inflected wounds. The seadec makes carpet obsolete. Do not know why people still get carpet.
I'm happy for you sir! I agree, 100% with you about carpet! My last boat had vinyl, pros and cons to it. This boat, I'm putting a seadeck knockoff in it.
What up Luke? I thought "Holy crap! Luke finally got his X21 Xpress!". NOPE!!! That one looked pretty sweet flyin' down the lake man. Not a big fan of the beige SeaDeck tho. If I had the extra dough, I'd pimp out my '05 Ranger Z21 Comanche with SeaDeck...the carpet still looks great but I hate it! LBL'ER AND HUMPER FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE!!👊P.S. Can you tell me brother what the MSRP is on your boat even though we all know you're not payin' MSRP? I'm curious. THX!
Picking it up next week! Can’t wait. I kind of liked the beige but I went with my favorite on this rig. Looking forward to testing out the Seadek for sure. Thanks as always brother. MSRP is going to be mid 50’s on these.
Im living in switzerland. Mainly fishing on Leman lake (geneva lake) can have some big waves. Which bassboats are the best for such waters configuration. In a pruce range between 15k to 35k ?
Dude, I can't wait to see your color scheme. If you pick it up early on Tuesday before you film LD and the MC, are we gonna get a peak? I have no idea why I am getting excited about YOU getting a new rig. Be sure to update on Monday that you're still on track. You make a great pitch man, no wonder the NPFL wanted you to do color rather than fish!! 😁😁
I've seen glass boats come apart in rough water and sink. The top of the boat can separate and and fracture. If the boat is welded correctly then should there should be no issues. I'm sure aluminum boats can crack but mine hasn't and been on rough water many times.
99% of aluminum boats and a LOT of fiberglass boats have that issue at times, BUT these boxes have been totally redesigned to make sure water doesn’t get in.
@@LukeDunkinsTravelingCircus ruined a lot of good jerkbaits, spinnerbaits, and crankbaits on the passenger console over the years. I'll never have a dual console unless I just flat out am GIVEN one lol
I got a 2004 x21 with a Yamaha VMAX 225 and it stills bump my gps around 74 miles per hour and for folks wondering about how it rides in big waves don’t worry about it it will handle it I have been on Sam Rayburn in some of the worst storms known to man and it will get you back to your truck
I peep andrew hulsey public launch in the background. Lake Hamilton, Ark. Next time your down let me show you around that place. theres a few shallow creeks ;)
@@LukeDunkinsTravelingCircus it gets a bad rep bc of the high number of recreational boaters but it is a fun lake to fish when you can catch it at the right time. Summer friday nighters out of that launch usually always takes 6-8lbs to win big bass. It's one of my favorite bc it stays very consistent year to year. early prespawn and then thesummer mayfly hatch/bream spawn there are some of the most fun fishing I've ever done.
It looks like if you full speed into a head wind and a 40mph gust comes outta nowhere it’ll flip that boat back upside down, the only thing in the water is the prop on pad.
That's exactly what I was thinking. I come from a lake that can get some pretty big wakes or can have some gusts and if I saw that boat flying down the main channel I would be cringing. Looks like it could use a lot more weight on the front the hold that boat down with a 250 on the rear.
Great looking boat. Xpress really makes some great looking and functional boats. So when are you going to do some kind of contest “A day on the lake in the Xpress boat and Luke Duncan” lol
Do you have any issues with water getting in the compartments like I've been reading about? After a rain/wash, I'm seeing a lot of complaints about water getting into the compartments and due to them being carpet lined, they don't dry all that well. Also, can they put the seadeck on the cockpit flooring - been reading that gets really slippery when wet.
I don’t at all. My boxes aren’t carpet lines. They have introduced a new lid design in the last few years that has taken care of a lot of leaking issues. I’ve owned a lot of different bass boats and boxes leaking is a common problem. I have a video on here demonstrating Seadek when it gets wet. It actually gets more traction when wet.
My only complaint with this one and most bass boats is no center rod storage. I don’t want the whole thing but spots or tube for 4 or 6 of your most used rods should be mandatory. pulling rods from side boxes and from around consoles to me is maddening. But the rest of the boat does look great and I agree with you on the deck!
I’ll be honest I’ve had boats with center storage and I didn’t like. Just me personally. I’d rather have my tackle there. Several folks are adding that option now for a center organizer. Just not my style.
Yeah man, aluminum boats is where its at. John cox has proven that time and time again. If the big bass boat companies are smart, they will all start making 21ft 250hp aluminum boats that their pros can use. They are cheaper, they are more durable, they dont crack when hitting a rock etc. They are lighter, sit higher in the water, they have a lot more storage room in them cuz theres not a bunch of fiberglass grid pumped full of foam down in the hull. It’s just the way to go. You seen the new crestliner they built for john cox this year? Dope. Deck is massive, has room for 8 batteries by motor....its nice. And the vexus aluminum boats.....you cant even tell they are aluminum at first. They have a hull shape like the glass boats that get up on pad in no time.
I just bought one .....where are they cheaper ? My fully loaded 21 x pro LE , 250 SHO, (2 bird 10", 8' raptors, appearance package, heavy trailer package, performance pkg, was 76,800 with no tax.
@@terryogletree2128 I understand I'm just saying I'd rather get a fiberglass for the price of a gator trax. They do make a nice boat though im not denying that.

What about stress cracks...I never saw ANY Aluminum boat that did not have stress crack problems....and I worked in the Aircraft industry for almost forty years dealing with Aluminum aircraft that have the same problem
Why are so many people pushing this product? The compartments are not water tight, it will beat you half to death in rough water, and it slides when turning hard like every other aluminum “bass boat”. I am a former owner, there is no comparison with this to ANY good fiberglass boat. You can get into skinnier water with this, but that is the only advantage.
#GatorTrax is by far the best aluminum boat from my research. One day maybe I’ll get to buy one and sell my Champion but I’ve heard Express is a great boat too.
I would agree however it seems to very hard to find one. They seem to be very custom and build few. Would like to see more of them, maybe if there company grows.
Great boat you will like it been fishing out of one for few years goes shallow have had it up in creeks where only kayaks can fish. It will get you over the shallow spots to the secret honey holes
ive been looking at these for a minute now.... i really want to upgrade from my lowes 198stinger... luke do u get commission cuz i will certainly say u sold me on one when i upgrade!!!!
Lowe makes a great boat, but I think you’d love the Xpress. Check out the X-19 if you like that size range. That thing is a rocket ship. Haha no commission, but tell em I sent ya.
Heck of a boat. I can’t afford it, but it gives me a goal to work towards, at least after my wife and I buy a house so I have a place where I can park a boat. Can’t wait for the full walk through once your boat is fully loaded up. #TinForTheWin #NotYourDaddysTinRig #LukesBoatIsCoolerThanDariens #LowLifer
great boat for tournament fishing. awful boat for the average joe. That boat will be swallowed alive on Erie, every bass boat get swallowed alive on erie though. Except for a ranger 522D but those arnt made anymore. An average joe needs a aluminum Deep v with a 9.9 kicker or a 18ft aluminum with a 150 if they dont plan to fish Erie, st clair, lake of the woods etc. I do wish i had sea dek on my ranger 1880 though.
I’ve been to Erie in several different bass boats. Erie is the ocean on most days and NO bass boat is made for Erie. Or any of the other Great Lakes. I’ve been in events where people have sank various different models up there. It’s a nasty place
Had to wear a rainsuit EVERY single time I was in a glads boat on big water too.... has way more to do with the fact that it’s you know BIG WATER than the boat 🤣🤣
As someone who’s been in every single bass boat manufacturing plant in the country..... all bass boats have foam..... ALL of them. It’s actually required by the USCG. Sorry to be the one to break it to you. Have a good one.
@@LukeDunkinsTravelingCircus your Wrong my gator trax strike series has No foam! And you haven't been in every boat plant in America. How can you compare a 125 gauge foam filled sheet metal braced boat to a 190 gauge extruded aluminium filled boat? And uscg does not require foam.
From Gator trax website 😂😂 The huntdeck came about as a place to put the rear portion of the total boat’s flotation foam. Our foam goes under the original front deck, under the floor, and inside the hunt deck for full level flotation, which is required by the USCG for a recreational rating. Without the hunt deck, the rear portion of the foam would have to be just inside the transom in two port and starboard boxes. Thus losing valuable space. In addition to the flotation
@@cbrewis Gator Trax gives you the option not to have foam . Gator Trax is the most unique boat out there because you can design every square inch inside the boat to your specific wants

Deck space?! That’s nothing! You should see John Cox’s deck 😏
Gross 🤣🤣🤣
Heck yeah!
That boat is a lot bigger than my XP 180_____
Problem is that is priced like a fiberglass boat. :(
Not even close to the same price as a 21 ft glass boat.
ive been looking at these for a minute now.... i really want to upgrade from my lowes 198stinger... luke do u get commission cuz i will certainly say u sold me on one when i upgrade!!!!
Lowe makes a great boat, but I think you’d love the Xpress. Check out the X-19 if you like that size range. That thing is a rocket ship. Haha no commission, but tell em I sent ya.
Heck of a boat. I can’t afford it, but it gives me a goal to work towards, at least after my wife and I buy a house so I have a place where I can park a boat. Can’t wait for the full walk through once your boat is fully loaded up. #TinForTheWin #NotYourDaddysTinRig #LukesBoatIsCoolerThanDariens #LowLifer
It sure is Tim. Got to have goals brother. That’s what it’s all about in this world. Hope you get to all of yours man! Lots of videos coming soon.

Flash the sho an then you'll be cooking
Luke look closely and do you see the doe that moves in the background
The boat i dream of owning
Mine too!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
That boat looks brilliant, beautiful and so damn sexy. Good one Luke.
Thank you dude! They’re so clean!
Is this an ad?
No. It’s a video on my RUclips channel you watched about my switch to Xpress from being in another boat for ten years, “B”. Thanks for stopping by.
Yep the $$$$$$$$!!
Love the deck I hate carpet to
I'm right there with you!
Glass boats for bass boats.......aluminum is best used for beer cans
Lol
sent them an email, can't get them in canada
I’ll see what I can find out for you Steven!
@Ab Gr are you bored in life or just lonely in #momsbasement? Chill man.
great boat for tournament fishing. awful boat for the average joe. That boat will be swallowed alive on Erie, every bass boat get swallowed alive on erie though. Except for a ranger 522D but those arnt made anymore. An average joe needs a aluminum Deep v with a 9.9 kicker or a 18ft aluminum with a 150 if they dont plan to fish Erie, st clair, lake of the woods etc. I do wish i had sea dek on my ranger 1880 though.
I’ve been to Erie in several different bass boats. Erie is the ocean on most days and NO bass boat is made for Erie. Or any of the other Great Lakes. I’ve been in events where people have sank various different models up there. It’s a nasty place
Wait I was excited until you said you got to order your boat soo you still don't have your boat .
Hahaha this was filmed this past fall. Pick the boat up on Tuesday
@@LukeDunkinsTravelingCircus thats what Im talking about .. Please say its green and black so the Googan fan boys can have something to woof about 😂😂
Gregorio Circle
Bruh is that DUCKETT rod?😅
He wishes 🤣. That’s the new Abu Garcia Veritas
@@LukeDunkinsTravelingCircus sheesh I thought I was gonna have to unsub lol 😆
🤣🤣🤣
.
. stay off the big water
.
LOL
And bring a rain suit. Lol. But to go shallow you gotta sacrifice some things. Keep RIPNLIPZ
Had to wear a rainsuit EVERY single time I was in a glads boat on big water too.... has way more to do with the fact that it’s you know BIG WATER than the boat 🤣🤣
CARPET IS A LOT EASIER TO KEEP CLEAN THAN SEADECK. AND THAT'S THE GOD'S HONEST TRUTH. SEADECK DOES LOOK A LOT COOLER THOUGH. 😉
Like #500!!
💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼 thank you
I will stick with my kayak let's me get into places your boat will never be able to get into..
Bet I beat you there though.
Only fools run 70 mph in such boats.
If anybody recognizes a fool it would be you, Doodlebug
@@LukeDunkinsTravelingCircus Thank you for the affirmation.
Foam filled junk!
As someone who’s been in every single bass boat manufacturing plant in the country..... all bass boats have foam..... ALL of them. It’s actually required by the USCG. Sorry to be the one to break it to you. Have a good one.
@@LukeDunkinsTravelingCircus your Wrong my gator trax strike series has No foam! And you haven't been in every boat plant in America. How can you compare a 125 gauge foam filled sheet metal braced boat to a 190 gauge extruded aluminium filled boat? And uscg does not require foam.
From Gator trax website 😂😂
The huntdeck came about as a place to put the rear portion of the total boat’s flotation foam. Our foam goes under the original front deck, under the floor, and inside the hunt deck for full level flotation, which is required by the USCG for a recreational rating. Without the hunt deck, the rear portion of the foam would have to be just inside the transom in two port and starboard boxes. Thus losing valuable space. In addition to the flotation
@@cbrewis strike series not a huntdeck boat...duh your about as knowledgeable as your comment.
@@cbrewis Gator Trax gives you the option not to have foam . Gator Trax is the most unique boat out there because you can design every square inch inside the boat to your specific wants
