2006 Xpress H51, 17', HyperLift boat with Yamaha 90hp, FourStroke engine. Boat Features: Good carpet (no peeling or burns), lockable storage and rod bins. Easily holds 7' rods. Large lockable storage bin under front casting deck. Both these storage areas are fully carpeted. There are two dry storage areas also at the back deck. They have a factory drain hold in the bottom. I use one to ice down drinks in. The other I use to store my transom plugs, flush muffs, and extra rope. The aerated live well is divided with a recirculating feature. Dash switch has manual and automatic modes (auto mode will activate aerator off/on for 4 minute intervals). Bilge pump with dash switch also. Swivel-eze adjustable hydraulic pedestal with butt seat. 2 factory pedestal seats also. No tears or rips in them. Hot-foot throttle. Put engine in gear with throttle handle and accelerate with foot control. 3 Engine trim controls--One at bow, steering (on throttle handle) and one on the side of the motor. All of them come in handy. 65lb Minn Kota Edge, high-efficiency electric motor. 5-speed, foot controlled. It is 24V. Fish in the strongest of current with this motor. It is 1 year old. I replaced the 40lb thrust. It worked fine, but I had to use it at the 4 or 5 speed to stay stable in strong currents. 2 on-board battery chargers. One is Minn Kota 2 bank, 5 amp each. The other is a Guest 2 bank, 5 amp each. 2 Optima, yellow-top Marine batteries. 1 year old. (450 CCA, 575 CA). One runs the electronic accessories & the other starts the engine. 2 Autocraft deep cycle Marine Batteries (575 CCA, 715CA). These run the 24V trolling motor. They are 2 years old. Storage lids have the upgraded Xpress Xtreme Coat liner on the underside of them. It's like a rubberized rhino liner. Keeps the storage areas a lot cooler and they don't build up condensation or sweat. Dampens sound as well. I have two ignition keys and two keys for the two lockable storage areas. Trailer: Factory-matched, Xpress all aluminum trailer. Nearly new tires. Spare has not been on the ground. 175/80R/14 tires. Bearing buddies on both hubs. Engine: This is the joy of this boat. Motor is strongest HP rating for hull. Pristine, 90hp, four stroke Yamaha. Starts after two seconds on the key, everytime. Has garden hose fitting on water line. This is a fantastic factory feature on these engines. You just unscrew water line on right side of engine and hook hose up to it for flushing with engine off. Re-connect water line and flush with engine on using lower-unit muffs. Very low hours. Compression is factory across entire spectrum. I fish within a mile or so of my launch sites. SeaSport300 hydrofoil. Holeshot is fantastic. Top-end speed is smooth and stable. Factory-matched Stainless Steel PowerTech prop. 13.25 X 19 pitch. 5500rpms at full throttle. Perfectly balanced for boat and gear. Never fished in salt water. Probably obvious, but wanted to be clear. I fish fresh only. Electronics: 3 sonars. One is the factory eagle which is mounted to the right of the dash. Monochrome. I don't use this one, but it works. Above it, I had a Huminbird 797CTI GPS/Fish finder installed. This thing is incredible. Mark your honey-holes and waypoints all day long. Get right back on top of them the next time you fish. GPS tells you your real-time speed. I maxed out at 43mph. But it felt like I was doing 60! I bought and will include with the purchase a southeast Navionics Gold HotMaps card. It gives detailed maps of the the southeast region of lakes. Transducer for this is mounted on transom. Look up Navionics on google to get an idea of this feature. Color monitor. Up front, I have an eagle FishEasy 320c color fish finder. Transducer is hooked up to trolling motor.
