The 2026 Xpress XP18CC is a rugged, work-ready center console bay boat built for anglers who want to combine shallow-water access with confident performance. It rides on a hydrodynamic tunnel hull, allowing it to run in skinny water yet remain stable when conditions open up. The construction is tough - fully welded aluminum, longitudinal ribs, and injected foam give it strength, buoyancy, and durability. The layout is designed for fishing: there are fold-down fishing seats with extensions, a rear deck livewell, and a console that includes a removable tinted windshield and grab rail for safety and comfort. Storage is smartly laid out, with lockable compartments in the front deck, and there's an 8-gauge trolling motor harness for efficient routing of wiring. The deck surfaces help with traction, and the boat is equipped with basic gauges, running lights, and a bilge pump. It's built to be a hard-working, dependable boat for serious anglers who want to fish both tight marshes and open bays.
