Again, thanks for all the responses. Your personal experiences are so very valuable. I also am not looking to go as fast in the new boat as I can go in my current boat. That being said, like everyone, I would like everything: low price, roominess, storage, great rough water ride, speed, low ownership costs. Of course, that is not possible, all decisions require trade-offs. I certainly don't believe I would be satisfied driving at a max speed of 35mph, but I don't need to be able to run 55mph. I don't expect to be able to blast through wake-boat wakes at 50mph, but I would like to be able to run in the low 40's in choppy water. Each of you current owners have made the decision on which trade-off to make, which is why your experience is helpful. I have reached out to Xpress for the weight of their trailers, my understanding is that they are aluminum? If so, that could lower the total towing weight and make them more accessible to me.
