Not bashing Express boats, but they can claim whatever they want about their "hyperlift hulls" I had a 17' war eagle with a 90 on it, and I GUARANTEE you it would run off and leave any comparably equipped Express 17' boat with a 90 on it.
It's better to have it and not need it, than need it and not have it.

I'm wanting an aluminum bass boat that I can get into some really shallow water in, ideally I would like to have an aluminum bass boat with a tunnel hull and a hydrolic jackplate on the back but that would be a custom deal and I'm sure a little pricey. But it is for bass fishing.

I have a 1648 War eagle.. I love it.... A friend of mine has a 1542 War eagle and We have been in some pretty shallow water in it.... You can get a new 1542 War Eagle with a drop down deck and floor and gun box.. also sitting on a trailer for about 3500.00 at MS Marine up in tupelo....

i like the G3 boats for the money (for the bass rigs), my father bought an 18.5 foot G3 w/ a 115 on it for a good bit less than he could get the xpress, either are good boats, but he's been really happy with the G3, pretty well get anywhere you need to go in it.

Triton makes a good one and G3 is another good one I have fished out of both and for the same money you can buy a nice fiberglass rig. An aluminum boat is nice but after I got my Stratos I will never go back to alum. the ride is much better and when you are on the water as much as I am it pays to have a fiberglass rig

I have been looking at the Lake Sport boats.. the Delta marsh boat looks nice too me..... I passed on the War Eagles (just seen then take more water to run than some others) The Lake Sport boat I was looking at was like 14,000 rigged with a nice troling motor depthfinders batts 2 all the other crap ya need and a 90hp but its set up like a Boston Whaler with a center console.... which seems like it would be nice they are a litlle shy for storage tho...

I have had real good luck with my 1648 SeaArk. I think they call it a super john.
