Xpress 16' Panfish Help

[Coastal Mountaineer]

Hoping someone owns a current model Xpress Panfish, XP16PF, and can provide a little information.

First, is there enough leg room around drivers seat to rotate 360 degrees comfortably while remaining seated?

Second, I'm 250lbs. and my friend is also up there in weight. Is a Yamaha 40 going to be enough power?

Lastly, how happy are you with the boat?

Appreciate any help.

Maybe post on Xpress owner forum for an answer

I don’t own one but did look at a couple. I was not happy with the room up front at all and it seemed like you was sitting on top of the boat. I have a 40 Yamaha on a 1652 Express DDP and i does well enough with two. Would 50 be better,most likely but unless you load the boat down with a bunch of stuff mine does well with two and some gear plus extra battery and trolling motor.
