How Xpress Boats Are Built

At Xpress, we're proud of the way our boats look, but we believe it's what's inside that really counts. Xpress boats feature the most advanced design, materials, construction methods and safety engineering in the entire fishing boat industry. As you'll see, we use aircraft technology in our hull construction - there's no wood in a Xpress boat. Our innovative engineering approach enables every Xpress hull to carry a lifetime warranty, And, most important of all, every Xpress boat is designed and built with your complete safety in mind. Wood-Free Construction Lot of Aluminum fishing boats are built with wood in such strategic areas as the transom, deck and floor.

Xpress Boats are constructed with quality .080-.125 gauge aluminum alloy. The aluminum is fed through a decoiler to prepare it for cutting.

Each part is designed using a CAD program. After the aluminum is fed through the decoiler, it is cut with a plasma torch. This state of the art process ensures each part is made to exact specifications.

Xpress Boats are not assembled by machine, but are welded together by some of the industry's most experienced welders. The backbone of each Xpress boat is its longitudinal rib system. Each rib receives over 200 individual welds, making all Xpress aluminum hulls unequalled in strength and rigidity.

Any imperfections found on the hull are buffed out before beginning the paint process.

Each hull undergoes a spray on paint process using high quality acrylathene enamel paint. This high gloss paint is often mistaken for those used on fiberglass boats.

Each boat is rigged by trained professionals. Every accessory is carefully installed, and the carpet is cut and installed precisely.
