2001 Xpress 1756 DB (duck boat) with a Mercury 50ELPTO 2 stroke. Motor, hull and trailer are all 2001 models. I bought this boat right before last spring, stripped it down and built it back.
75lb 24v Motorguide bought new last spring
2 new Interstate 27 series bought new last spring. The third battery (cranking) is also an Interstate, only a year older. All batteries are in new boxes.
The trolling motor pedal sits in a recessed tray, bought new and installed last spring.
I ran new 6 gauge marine grade wire and installed Marinco plugs.
The two driving lights are just regular halogen lights. There's two LED lights inside the boat. Both navigation lights work.
All wire inside the boat is new in 12 or 14 gauge.
I ripped out the old floor (plywood) and replaced it with 1/8" aluminum. There is NO wood or carpet in this boat.
The floor and all other possible walking spaces are covered in HydroTurf. This stuff is softer than carpet, cleans better than carpet, allows traction as well as carpet and unlike neoprene it does not absorb water. It washes great.
There's a total of three seat bases in the boat, two were bought new in the spring. The half seat is a new Tempress and new Atwood post. I have three Xpress seats and I think two posts that came with the boat when I bought it. They're in poor shape.
The boat has a 6" BassJac jackplate from Bob's Machine Shop but the motor has gone out on it. If you're interested, we could work a deal on a Mercury model trim motor.
The inside and outside of this boat was stripped to mostly aluminum last spring and painted in NaturalGear camo. I have new Xpress decals waiting to be put on.
The trailer was stripped down as well last spring and painted.
All new LED lights were installed, bunks/carpet are new and two new transom straps were put on last spring.
The jack, winch, hubs, and tires are all 100%.
The motor was inspected last spring by a Mercury tech and checked out OK. As my yearly maintenance on all boats, I flushed the lower unit and replaced the water pump.
The motor also has a stainless steel Vengeance prop.
Every tank of fuel I have ran through this motor, I have ran QuickSilver oil, Lucas additives and Quickleen.
The Lowrance unit in the picture is not included in the price.
For more info/pictures call or text me at 615-390-1286.
This rig is absolutely 100% guys. I've got A LOT of blood, sweat and tears in this setup.I have some progress pictures to show it. I'm not being forced to sell this so lowballs won't be accpeted. Don't waste either of our time.
Price is $9,000. Boat is in Mount Juliet.

Very nice rig!
Who did the paint and where did you get the flooring?
I have a 2004 War Eagle that could use similar treatment.
Thanks,
David

The paint and primers came from LockStockBarrel and the stencils came from StyxRiver. The flooring was ordered straight from HydroTurf. It's expensive but WELL worth it. I've done all the work myself. Thanks for the compliments.

Forgot this boat has a 3 bank on board charger but one bank is down. I just leave that on the cranking battery. I will trade down to a 1648 and bigger with preferably a mercury tiller.
