Johnny, Bet she was a better ride than my minesweeper (USS OSPREY - MHC51 - 188' with 38' beam) or my first ship (USS NEWPORT - LST1179 - 522' with 70' beam). We did a lot of painting, but it wasn't until a couple years ago that I learned about coating systems and what should/should not be...

I recently purchased an Xpress Xplorer XP18CC. I've got about six hours on it running the Pascagoula River and inter-coastal waters. I don't abuse it, and while not a lot of time, it's not showing any signs of stress or QC issues. I'm happy with it.

I have a Wilderness Systems Ride 115, Commander 140 and Tarpon 120. All three are great kayaks but they are also very different. For a given width, a longer kayak will be faster and track straighter, a shorter kayak more maneuverable. A wider kayak will tend to be more stable, but hull shape...

Thanks for the recommendations. Currently 73°F, forecast high is 76°F today and tomorrow - with rain and near 100% humidity. I definitely see at least two sets of gear in my future.

I started riding motorcycles (really riding, my own that is) in 2002. I tried to make all different kinds of gear work when I first started. Snowmobile gear, hunting gear, cheap gear. With very few exceptions, I've determined gear designed for one sport doesn't work very well/very long when...

Looking to get some info on good, WATERPROOF, foul weather gear. Specifically parka and bibs, but I won't discount overpants and waist-length jackets. And speaking from experience on Naval vessels, very few things are worse than being cold & wet with no way to dry off and get warm for several...

For what it's worth - Xpress Boats are made by Aluma-Weld. The warranty registration card for my new Xpress XP18CC shows the boat manufactured by Aluma-Weld, Inc/DBA Xpress Boats.

Well, I put $500 deposit down on the Xpress Xplorer XP18CC with Yamaha 70. If all goes according to plan, I'll take a test ride Monday morning and tow it home soon after.

Thanks. That would definitely be too wide to fit in my backyard. We're going back to look at the above mentioned Xpress Saturday. The beam on it is 86", which is pretty close to the overall trailer width. We'd rather buy used in order to save some money but we also would rather not inheret...

Looked at a few boats today. The Sea Arks were very nice, but I knew going in they were a little out of my price range. The Lowe's also looked nice. Personally, I couldn't tell any aesthetic differences between the Lowe's I looked at today and the G3's I looked at yesterday. Both looked to...

Thank you. Headed to Mobile, AL very shortly to see what they have in stock from Lowe, Sea Ark & Xpress.

Thanks for the welcome. Went and looked at a G3 1756 CC and a 1860 CC after work today. Did not leave the dealer with a desire to buy a G3. The boats looked OK. The young man, admittedly not a salesman, didn't seem very knowledgeable. Unfortunately for us, he seemed to be the only person...

I've spent the last couple weeks scanning through the last 90 pages of posts to learn how the forum operates and see what kinds of questions have been asked. You don't know what you don't know. My wife and I are considering buying our first boat. All we really know is that we want it to be...
