Xpress X19

[Bassmeister]

This is a shot in the dark but I’m wondering if anyone on here owns an Xpress X19. I’m in the market for a “new” boat and am torn between this and a 18.8 fiberglass. Would really like to get a ride in the Xpress if I could. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

No experience with that boat. Curious if you looked at Ranger or Vexus as well? And if so, what made you look at Xpress? Not at all anti Xpress, only curious. 

Been in the Ranger 188 a lot and it’s a good boat for the price point.

Forum Member Ketchup had one and ive been in it a few times and drove it.  One of the sweetest rigs ive been in. Fast and smooth.

I’d like more performance than a 188. Although I’ve heard they are great fishing platforms. Also, I’m buying used so a 198P or Vexus are likely out based on that. I have a 17’ xpress now and It has withstood everything I could throw at it. I just need a bigger boat at this point.

My xpress is 17' the only complaint I have is that it has carpet and isn't 19 foot.
