Xpress Boats Skiff 185 2022 vs Xpress Recreational and Livewell Jon Series 2013 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Xpress Boats Skiff 185 2022 vs Xpress Recreational and Livewell Jon Series 2013 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story — intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.
The Xpress Recreational and Livewell Jon Series 2013 tops out at 25 hp. Engine specs for the Xpress Boats Skiff 185 2022 aren't listed — confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Xpress Boats Skiff 185 2022 is rated for 5 passengers, while the Xpress Recreational and Livewell Jon Series 2013 caps at 3. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Xpress Boats Skiff 185 2022 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Xpress Boats Skiff 185 2022 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 5 passengers and at 18,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably.
