The XF has the same hull as the 250 CCP.



I've owned a 222 CCP so I can't speak from actual experience but over the years several members here have owned both the CCP and XF versions of the 250 hull and seemed pleased with the performance.

Good luck. :thumright:

Thankyou  guys I've been looking for a cabin fishing boat so I can still run offshore and allow the fam to get out of the sun from time to time I found a 250express that seems to be in really good shap at very low price so I'm considering going to take a look at it anything I should be watching out for on these models
