Xpress H20B Boats For Sale

The Xpress H20B is a 20-foot 3-inch all-welded aluminum bay boat built in Hot Springs, Arkansas by a family company making boats since 1966. It carries a 99.5-inch beam, a 67-inch bottom width, 24-inch sides, and a 22-inch transom, with an approximate hull weight of 1,436 pounds and a rating for eight persons. The roomy bow lets two adults fish the trolling motor without bumping, which makes the H20 Bay suit redfish flats, bass tournaments, and family days alike. Owners in salt-heavy regions like south Louisiana gravitate to it because the optional packages address corrosion directly. Anyone shopping Xpress boats H20B against other aluminum bay boats is looking at one of the best-selling 20-foot aluminum bay platforms in the country.

The standard engine is a Yamaha 115 SHO four-stroke, with the hull rated up to 150 horsepower. Running solo with a full tank, the Xpress H20 boat reaches about 43 to 45 mph; loaded with three people and full fuel it settles near 40 mph at 6,000 RPM. A practical cruise sits around 5,500 RPM and 38 mph with the trim near the top, which gives good fuel consumption from the 40-gallon tank. The boat floats in roughly 6 to 10 inches of water but needs about 1.8 to 2 feet to get on plane. The Hyperlift pad hull, which Xpress pioneered in 1989, delivers a quick hole shot and a dry, steady ride through chop. If you go to the 150, hydraulic steering and a 6-inch jack plate are recommended.

Construction is the H20B's foundation: all-welded 125-gauge 5052 aluminum, with the decks, floors, subfloor, transom, rails, and wet boxes all aluminum rather than wood or foam board. Xpress uses longitudinal rib and unibody construction with closed-cell expandable foam injected into every crevice, and backs the hull with a lifetime warranty. Each boat ships on a Backtrack aluminum trailer (model AW20) built in-house, with sealed hubs, side guides, and LED lights. The 20-foot trailer rides on one wheel per side; the 22-foot version uses two per side. The saltwater trailer package adds polymer skid slicks to keep salt off the bunks and corrosion off the hull.

Storage is a strong point. The bow holds two lockable rod boxes, one per side, lined with extreme coat and sized for 7-foot rods, plus a deep center compartment with a lift-out tray over a large stowage area. The console seat lifts to reveal an aerated bait well up front, and the backrest folds down over pull-out Plano boxes. At the stern, two insulated jump seats double as coolers and sit over additional storage, while folding the rear seat down opens a wide casting deck. A 22-gallon aerated live well sits in the stern, with an optional divider for tournament use, alongside access to the fuel tank, cranking battery, and bilge and live well pumps.

The console mounts up to a 12-inch GPS and comes standard with a Humminbird Helix 5 on the redfish package, with a multi-function gauge showing tachometer, trim, and fuel, plus a USB port and a four-speaker sound system. Common upgrades include the redfish package (stainless cleats, rod holders, cup holders, and latches), the Bay stainless package (stainless steering wheel, foldable grab rail, leaning post, four cleats, and six rod holders), the C deck or extreme coat liner, a Power-Pole, a swim ladder, and a Minn Kota i-Pilot trolling motor upgrading from the standard 46-pound 12-volt unit. A redfish-rigged H20B has sold around $38,000. When buying, weigh the saltwater corrosion protection of the stainless and trailer packages, confirm everything is wired to a perko switch to protect the trim system, and note that compartments are water-resistant rather than fully sealed.
