Built to Last, Born to Fish: 2005 Xpress 2086 Aluminum Bay
If you know aluminum boats, you know Xpress. They didn’t just build a boat; they pioneered the all-welded hull that handles like fiberglass but retains the bulletproof durability of high-grade aluminum. This 2005 Xpress 2086 is a testament to that legacy—a wide, stable, and incredibly versatile platform ready for the marsh, the lake, or the bay.
The Xpress Advantage
The "86" in 2086 stands for the massive 86-inch beam, providing a footprint that feels much larger than your standard 20-foot aluminum rig. Whether you are sight-casting for reds in skinny water or hauling a mess of catfish over the gunwales, this boat offers the stability you need to stay on your feet and the shallow draft to get where the fiberglass guys can't.
Key Specifications & Features
• Hyper-Lift® Hull: Experience the performance of a pad-bottom hull that lifts the boat out of the water for increased speed and fuel efficiency.
• All-Welded Construction: No rivets to leak, no wood to rot. This is a lifetime hull.
• Spacious Layout: An expansive front casting deck and a clean, open cockpit allow for 360-degree fishability.
• Storage Galore: Integrated rod lockers, large dry storage compartments, and an aerated livewell to keep your catch fresh.
• Center Console Command: A functional helm with great visibility and stainless steel grab rails for safety in choppy water.
Why This Boat?
The 2005 model year is often considered a "sweet spot" for Xpress—built heavy-duty before many manufacturers started thinning out materials to save on costs. It’s a rugged, "hose-and-go" kind of boat that doesn't require the constant buffing and waxing of a gelcoat finish.
