My New Aluminum Bass Boat is a BEAST! (Xpress X-21 Pro LE Walkthrough)

[@ryanholeman680]

Xpress makes a great boat! Being from Arkansas It’s nice to see a family owned business have the success they’ve had, super good people at Xpress and hope people give them a shot I can promise you won’t be disappointed with the product and service you’ll get it’s hands down the best I’ve ever experienced!

[@LukeDunkinsTravelingCircus]

Well said! Definitely a family business!

[@winterwolf0186]

Really good walk through, glad you enjoyed our boats!

[@vols123ful]

Luke, i see some options on this boat that are not on most and i dont see how to choose them even in the xpress catalog. Your seats, raised lip with gasket on front deck storage , livewell placement, how did yoy pick those options? Thanks !

[@josephlassiter1412]

Is this going to be the new layout? Or just a one off? But i love the step and 50 gallon tank.

[@jeremiahaltmannsberger8914]

Great walkthrough Luke! Enjoy the boat and fishing w/ the kids! Thanks for the content sir!

[@LukeDunkinsTravelingCircus]

Thank you!

[@wheelb4973]

Being older I no longer own a boat , but this brings back lots of memories .

[@timg185]

If I can still walk when I’m 100 . I will still own a boat of some kind.

[@bobbysloneakathefishwhispe1300]

Love how the rod box goes up like that wish they all rod boxes do that

[@LukeDunkinsTravelingCircus]

I do too! It’s super convenient when I’m loaded rods in and out for a trip in the shop.

[@jeb4836]

Congrats Luke

[@timg185]

I really like the floor lay out of the x21. But all 21 ft boats are laid out pretty good . Because of the size. I’ve seen a lot of Aluminum boats have issues with cracked welds and cracks in the Hull. Pro’s only keep their boats for a year. So they usually get rid of them before any issues occurs. I got rid of my Ranger 198p before any hull problems could pop up.

[@davidegeland2380]

Not Gator Trax.

[@natewallis3885]

Glad to see they finally listened and got rid if the stupid cupholder in the front of the console that was only good for knocking out guide inserts.

[@LukeDunkinsTravelingCircus]

Yes I love that improvement

[@coreymaassel2119]

Loving the new Layout on the Xpress. The live well is a Huge Improvement from what I see. I would Love to own one myself! Thanks Luke!

[@LukeDunkinsTravelingCircus]

I’m looking forward to running it! Thank you dude!

[@CaptDylanRyland]

What model is this? I’m looking at some x21 pro LE’s and can’t find the recessed compartment like that before the front deck or the coin box like you have!

[@LukeDunkinsTravelingCircus]

It’s the X-21 Pro LE. Coin box is an option as far as I know!

[@Veemack21]

Nice rig!

[@JimmyBraswell]

Do you have an added trolling motor on off switch, or just using a 60 amp circuit breaker?

[@LukeDunkinsTravelingCircus]

I have my trolling motor wired up to a seperate breaker

[@danielmcclure6879]

Mine is supposed to be here in January I can’t wait much longer.anything I need to add specific to the x21?

[@LukeDunkinsTravelingCircus]

I’m going to do a walkthrough on my adds this week! But man they’re ready to go out of the box!

[@shawnhammack5302]

I want to know if these big aluminum boats float shallower than a comparable fiberglass. In other words can you get further up on the flat? Does it take rough water good.

[@LukeDunkinsTravelingCircus]

I did a video on how shallow it will float last year, but the answer is yes. It will definitely get shallower than my previous glass boats. Takes rough water like a champ. 96 inch beam. 21 ft in length. I’ve been everywhere from the Great Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico in one. Very impressed

[@lesforrestfishing]

Nice rig!! Your channel name is on point! I don’t care what Diana (Karen) says!!

[@LukeDunkinsTravelingCircus]

Hahahah Diane for the win/loss

[@winterproductionsnw]

This is the x-21 I want. The layout was a major change that going to just increase it lead as been the king of Alu. Bass Boat.

[@parch0784]

How wet is the ride when the wind starts blowing? I fish big water up north and my experience with aluminum (Lund ProVBass XS) was a very wet ride in rough conditions.

[@LukeDunkinsTravelingCircus]

Haven’t had this exact boat in big water yet, but did with my last year’s. Handled it great and dry ride. That being said I don’t care what boat you’re in, or what it’s made of if the water is big and the wind is blowing from the wrong direction there will always be spray that’s going to get you.

[@bobbysloneakathefishwhispe1300]

So awesome color 😮

[@dloranger75]

That’s the dream boat right there!!

[@brianhowell8117]

Tag team champs wooo

[@TheSkylar25]

Are they making the LE in the X19 or just x21

[@LukeDunkinsTravelingCircus]

Just the 21 to my knowledge

[@brianpeterson8026]

Luke did they make any more leg room in the console so your knees dont hit .

[@LukeDunkinsTravelingCircus]

Well, I’m vertically challenged so I never had that issue at all haha. I think there’s plenty of room under there.

[@davidegeland2380]

Have they updated the hull thickness yet?

[@TOBYLEXUS711]

I need that center console between the seats for my X21. Did it come that way?

[@LukeDunkinsTravelingCircus]

Yes sir. On the LE the “coin box” is an option

[@EricRomines]

Nice rig man!!

[@LukeDunkinsTravelingCircus]

Thank you! I love it

[@darrelstephenson2433]

Nice walk through Luke I appreciate it. I have one question for you..... does the 31 AGM cranking battery you have also run your electronics and livescope and does that keep it going all day?

[@LukeDunkinsTravelingCircus]

Yes sir! I run everything off of the one 31 series

What speed are you getting with this? I sure wish they would make this available in 23

I’m running 68 loaded with 2 people right now. But that’s with way too much crap in it.

I checked your boat the other morning at Richland Market the other morning when you were getting gas. It looked great

Thanks brother!

[@fishfpv5020]

Looks sick man! just got a quote for 1 a few days ago... unfortunately for the rest of us won't be getting this new design on the 2023 year l.. I guess we getting built in bow light, the bad a$$ new steering wheel, new console floor tool holders and 4 drain floor.. no coin box , no new layout, no 50gal tanks unfortunately.. would love those seats in mine.. don't know if I'm gonna go threw with it at this point kind of a bummer not sure would really like one though!

[@LukeDunkinsTravelingCircus]

Sorry to hear that brother! I think they are so busy they can’t get these into mass production just yet. Fingers crossed it happens sooner than later

[@fishfpv5020]

@@LukeDunkinsTravelingCircus love the show man.. keep killing it! I still might talk myself into it.. just tuff cuz I want alot of that stuff and just can't have it.. kinda a big deal cuz it's my first new 1... atleast we get slam latches on the live wells.. would be sick if all the boxes had em

Hmmmmm I’m honestly not sure on that. Have you reached out through their website?

Be a good river and lake boat around here.

[@sonofafisherman743]

Awesome 👍

[@petecook1611]

They have gotten to be quite exp!! Like $80k exp so much for aluminum being cheaper

[@LukeDunkinsTravelingCircus]

Fiberglass fully rigged gonna be about 100k at this point. They’re not cheap though! I will agree with you

[@jamiejohnson1200]

Why did you replace other one?

[@LukeDunkinsTravelingCircus]

I sell my boats every year or so!

[@terryogletree2128]

You get a Gator Trax Strike Series and design your dream boat you ain't gonna be changing boats for a long time

[@rogerdudra178]

If it ain't dried crawlers or fish scales, it ain't dirty.

[@darrenmccullough2180]

Xpress is not coming out with this layout. I guess it negatively effected the speed.

[@bobward7489]

Loved it until you got to the live wells. They look ridiculously small, small enough to be worthless. If they're bigger then they look, do another video. I would never consider one with 10 gallon livewells

[@LukeDunkinsTravelingCircus]

Did you watch the Bassmaster Classic this year? Or the Bassmaster Elite Series? Jason Christie won both of those from the same boat with same livewells. So “worthless” might be a little much haha. I’ve owned a lot of boats. Livewells are perfectly fine.

[@bobward7489]

@@LukeDunkinsTravelingCircus They must look a lot smaller than they actually are, they literally look like 10 gallons. If they are, then I'll change my opinion because the res of the boat is awesome.
