Can’t tell enough about your boat from the description but WOT RPM should be closer to 6,000 lightly loaded.

Two possibilities: Boat or motor. Both are 7 years old.
Has the boat been stored outside or on the water for that time? A chance the foam is waterlogged. Overall boat weight.
Motor: Tuned,...
If it is like my Excel, that’s plastic made to look like carbon fiber. Use a cheap hole saw.
Similar experience, money in hand and I couldn’t get the salesman to return my call. Bought a slightly used Excel and couldn’t be happier. Didn’t care for the way G3s float so low at the stern.
For future reference:
It looks like Ranger uses Whitecap latches. Excel uses the same latches in my BayPro, I added a few new hatches and a glovebox and wanted similar latches and there all be...
Suggest buying an 18 pitch prop for when you are loaded down. $140 gets you an aluminum Talon from SIM, get the 16p as it runs like an 18p.
Aluminum can be cut (carefully) on a carbide tipped blade chop saw. Welding is a little harder, I have cut and fitted everything together and had a local fabricator do the welding. All aluminum is...
I would imagine not exactly what you want as it is built for a completely different part of the country, but I have to throw this out there:

Sorry for the questions, but for 25k I’m wondering what they are leaving out.
I didn’t pay much less for an 18 month old Excel 20 with a gray 115 on back. I suppose the autumn time frame may be...
What motor? Electronics? Trailer?
25k sounds pretty good though.
Pics or it didn’t happen!
I have a 203 with a Yamaha F115LB and get around 41-44 depending on load and prop. Sorry, as this doesn’t help you at all. Just make sure you get full RPMs with as...
First off, I’m a boat owner who simply added Command Link gauges to my boat, twice. I am not a marine mechanic and you should confirm what I’m telling you with someone more qualified.

An Excel, not an Xpress but you get the idea.
Posted one in the “tin boats” Bimini thread, sorry though, it’s from the day I installed it in our driveway.
next time we go to the lake I’ll get a few pics.
Also an Excel so it may not exactly apply to your Xpress.
I use 1/4” Carriage Bolts but have to slide them in from the access hole at each end of the track. Recently installed a Bimini and had to...
Excel BayPro 203
Ordered the Carver Bimini from Coverquest in Aluminum with SS hardware, and a black Sunbrella top, $500 out the door with a 10% discount code. My Boat showed 85-90” wide, 72”...
Did you buy the Turbo1 from a dealer who will let you swap it? Since you have the $3-400 in the Turbo, I would at least swap it for a 15” or lower.
Be advised, that Turbo1 17p is much more like a 19p. For whatever reason, they rated them low and tell you it is a very efficient prop. Dealer told me Yamaha bought Precision Props and the Turbo1...
Exactly! And the reason my 30 gallon tank will be coming out and a 15-18 gallon going back in this winter.
Make sure the space for the cooler will accommodate whatever cooler you might buy in the furure, maybe look at Yeti/RTIC/Engel dimensions and make sure you like the space allotted.
Are you really...
Recently had to find a prop for the boat and found so little online that I feel the need to post something up here.
Boat description earlier in the thread, VERY similar to an Xpress H20b but the...
Lots of different PowerTech props that fit that motor, any ideas, part numbers, to help us figure out which one you have?
I have an Excel, very similar to your H20b and the gray version of your...
Similar situation.
Keep in mind that the pitch rating on props is somewhat subjective, a 17 pitch prop from one company may be very different from a 17p from another.
I have had reasonable...
Just a thought, if there are few enough gaps, attach a strip of starboard or similar and cover with hydro turf flush to the edge concealing the strip. Wish I could think of a better material to...
I would think it would be a relatively straightforward process. Grind the finish coating off, weld bracing to each rod box, cover with either 0.100” or 0.125” sheet. No idea about matching the...
