I Took My Aluminum Bass Boat TO THE OCEAN!

[@jamesphillips2216]

Incredible boat, so versatile!! Awesome video, looked like you had blast!! Thanks for sharing and making want the Xpress even more!!

[@kirkkohd4883]

Hey luke, a few questions for you... there isnt alot of info on these boats for someone like me to access without ever have ridden in one. I've always had a little 17' bass tracker and im looking to upgrade to a new boat. does the ride compare to a glass boat in rougher water? and is it stable like a glass boat when offshore fishing or does it rock back and forth? i want something i can take into skinny/stumpy/rocky waters but also beable to go offshore fishing too without being being thrown around the front deck when the wind picks up.

[@LukeDunkinsTravelingCircus]

I’ve owned both glass and aluminum over the year. I can tell you this thing is a beast in rough water. Handles it great. Very stable fishing platform. I fish 3 adults out of it a ton and you can’t feel when others are moving around the boat like you can in most aluminum rigs. I fish in the dirt and offshore all the time. Not scared to do either. Over two years running the X-21 and love it

[@dannyjackson7800]

I hadn’t seen anyone yet that has advertised these boats like u have! Thanks for the great video would have liked to have seen the how big that fish was! But hey it happens! lol

[@LukeDunkinsTravelingCircus]

I love the boat so it’s easy! Thank you for watching. I love making videos in it. Wish I could’ve got that sucker in.

[@johnsnow5822]

Hi, what kind of material is on your deck ? I am getting ride of my carpet but I don't know what to go to

[@jburnette88]

How about the trolling motor? The salt doesn't damage it and/or void the warranty?

[@LukeDunkinsTravelingCircus]

It did fine and it’s made for salt or fresh!

[@TeamJesusOutdoors]

How did the Gulf compare to running Lk. MICHIGAN?

[@LukeDunkinsTravelingCircus]

It’s similar haha. Especially the bay one of the days I was there. It got brutal.

[@nathan.gravett]

Hey I was just down in Apalachicola Last weekend

[@LukeDunkinsTravelingCircus]

That’s a great spot in the world!

[@darkknight9]

Awesome! , but I would spend all day washing it to get the salt gone!

[@neighborhoodlawncaremainte9847]

Thank you

[@garyforbes9475]

Like Dave Dudley had mentioned he was coming up with his version of a wacky worm have u heard anymore about it???

[@LukeDunkinsTravelingCircus]

I believe it’s on the way

[@BamaBassCatcher99]

No issues with welds?

[@LukeDunkinsTravelingCircus]

No

[@yourlocalstfan3957]

Getting it done salty style!!!! Looks like a blast!! XL PERFORMING GREAT LOOKS LIKE!

[@LukeDunkinsTravelingCircus]

Had a blast!

[@JohnnyJenkins]

Cool stuff. Looking forward to seeing more from th X21 also seeing it out to the test and more rough water high winds. Where did u lunch from for this video?

[@jeremyslone9756]

Is this at apalachicola/carrabelle? I fish down there a lot at my in laws. Fishing is awesome down there! Love the channel Luke!

[@LukeDunkinsTravelingCircus]

Yes it is! Apalachicola Bay and St George Sound. Thank you!

[@janosczovek8524]

Excellent video really appreciate it lovely boat 💪

[@williamknight5142]

Looks like fun wish we got a look of the big one that always gets away.

[@LukeDunkinsTravelingCircus]

Yeah me too! That sucker was something

[@tb0632]

This is awesome, I've always wanted to take the tin rig down to the gulf!

[@LukeDunkinsTravelingCircus]

Do it!

[@worldtour4353]

@@LukeDunkinsTravelingCircus yeah I'm fixing to buy the H190B ( riptide trolling, 115 Yamaha, seadek package) under 30 grand CAN'T BEAT IT !! enjoyed your Vid..🇺🇲🦅🌍⚓ USMC

[@sirzman2774]

Looks fun do you have to do something special to the motor when your done in brackish water or salt water ?

[@LukeDunkinsTravelingCircus]

I flushed it at the end of each day with a water hose. Super simple!

[@KWlion]

you might need "flushing ears" on some brand motors.

[@jasonstroup7551]

St george island is a great fishery..... the Ole express handled the saltwater like a champ. Great video and keep it up

[@LukeDunkinsTravelingCircus]

It’s a special place in this world! That’s for sure. Thank you!

[@garywaynebates]

Awesome... The ole X21 seemed to perform well.

[@johnmorgan4748]

THE BOAT DID GREAT LUKE , I WOULD BE WANDERING ABOUT THE SALT IN MY GRAPHS AND THAT TROLLING MOTOR WITH THAT SPOTLOCK

[@LukeDunkinsTravelingCircus]

They’re sealed up really good. I still sprayed them off as soon as I got off the water daily. No issues!

[@johnmorgan4748]

@@LukeDunkinsTravelingCircus COOL BEANS

[@Kingmobileservice]

When I can afford it I am definitely buying one of those!

[@coolcc7277]

Look fun

[@jcreel4055]

Now a few weeks ago you told me the new veritas spinning rod was good for doing that type of fishing. I'm alitte disappointed you was using one

[@LukeDunkinsTravelingCircus]

Haha yeah I didn’t use it in this one. Those are some cheap Berkeley rods an old spinning reel I’ve had forever. Didn’t want to use the MGX on my Veritas in the salt haha

[@Mjones8383]

Man I want an Xpress sooo bad, x19 or x21 don't matter. They are just what a boat should be. Plus they aren't 95k like the new vexus boat.

[@LukeDunkinsTravelingCircus]

You’d love it! The 19 or a 21 are both awesome

[@RedneckViking]

The aluminum vexus is not 70 , 80 , 90k . Comparing a glass vexus to an aluminum x21 is not the same thing at all .

[@scottclark1168]

Great video Luke,those trout are fun when u get in em,looks like the ole xpress handled the salt just fine 👊

[@12345jackjack]

Bass boat to the ocean, please check the high wind and high wave before bring it out.

[@steveparker7240]

Part of the fun of saltwater is catching gulls. You chicken or what. 😁

[@LukeDunkinsTravelingCircus]

🤣🤣🤣 I’ve snatched up a couple on trebles over the years. It wasn’t a good time

[@seansmith5082]

It's amazing how the Ocean looks just like a bay!?! Lol

[@LukeDunkinsTravelingCircus]

It’s amazing that folks comment like they were in the boat when I ran out into the Gulf of Mexico 👍🏼… from a bay. That’s how it works a lot of the time

[@jcreel4055]

Looks like you are about due for a haircut

[@goranjusic5312]

250 on bass boat😆

[@LukeDunkinsTravelingCircus]

First time seeing something like that? Only been happening the last like 20 years haha
