I think it's bad*** and I can't even see any pics other than your avatar. Did you post some? Often the office web filters make it look as if there aren't any at all. My uncle has a seventeen foot Excel with a fifty horse Tohatsu. We duck hunt out of it in the winter. That thing is amazing. We run WOT up and down the White River and the spray is literally inches from my arm but never gets on me. When we launch it other hunters say things like "I'd never pay that much for a duck boat." Translation: "man I wish I had one of those!".:p Congrats on the new rig. You picked a dandy. Welcome aboard.:cool:

That is a nice rig. Where did you get the rod holders on the windsheild grab bar? I'd like to put some like that on my xpress cc. Also how long is your boat?

Re: just been rigging my new boat with toys any feedback???

i want to replace my nylon cover that goes to the access under the center console with a hard door like yours i found a co. that custom makes them.. they quoted me 140.00 for it also i want to change my steering wheel to stainless like yours .. my boat didnt have rod holders so i put them where they didnt get in the way ..
