In the market for an aluminum center console boat 18-20’. Going to mainly use it for a river bass/crappie boat with the occasional speckle trout/redfish trip around mobile bay. I’ve been looking at the Xpress h190b and xp18cc. Any recommendations from you guys on other brands or models?

the Alweld stuff looks great; my G3 has been a rock (altho not center console)

I'm partial to my 1860 SeaArk CC. If I had it to do over I'd want a 72" beam, but that'd be a tight squeeze in my garage. You should be able to find a good used one unless you're wanting new.

Good looking boat, 7x57.

I think any of the brand names boats that are welded and fairly new will be very serviceable. Finding a good used one of any kind is challenging right now. We live in strange times; nobody works and yet everybody has money.

I purchased a War Eagle 961 Blackhawk last June and have nothing but good things to say about it. I have fished all of the Big 4 lakes in north MS and have been out in some pretty crazy weather. War Eagle Boats are made in Arkansas.

Thanks. Now if I could only figure out how to catch some crappie.

I've heard really good things about Xpress boats and War Eagle. Get bigger and wider than you think you need.

I really like my xpress, I didn't get a center console only because I go under some bridges on guntersville.

That looks just like the boat my office mate used to have. We caught some great fish out of that. Last I heard it is still hammering them out in Washington state. Tough little boat.
