can anyone give me some input on how this setup should perform, considering buying but a test run isn't possible at the moment, any info will be appreciated!

Even though that boat is marketed to be run with a surface drive, it's still not a true mud hull. That means you won't get the full performance of the motor. Not only that, but most mud hulls are 1/8" or 3/16" thick. The xpress is only .100. If you're not planning on running many stumps, then that won't really matter. But it's also made of 5052 aluminum, instead of 5086, meaning it isn't as strong. If you're wanting just a fishing boat, then it'll get the job done, but if you're wanting a rig to put through hell and get you places most can't, the xpress isn't the boat for you. At least that's my .02 cents.

There made out of light material but is heavier than most boats.

shallow sand bottom rivers and flooded timber is all she'd ever see...they bayou 16 is heavy...what kind of speeds should a man expect to get with the 25 subaru?

what width on the boat ?...

my .02...
If it's wide, over 50" ...gonna be slow...20 mph ...one man ..two men men high teens...3 men, under 15 mph...

if it's narrow...gonna be better than the above but by not by a whole bunch
