Easy to install

Gas shocks are widely available at boat stores and online. The info printed on the shock (or a parts manual) will give you the measurement and poundage. Whoever made THAT shock is not important. Attwood makes good stuff if you want to check them out. Consider upgrading to the SS
 
The ones on my express are Ameritool
 
It looks like per the 2007 parts catalogue that it should be an Ameritool 10-296 pneumatic shock, which shows as a 10-30#. I'd obviously call up Ameritool to confirm, as a quick Google search doesn't show any new products with that same part number, as it's likely an older or discontinued one. There's a "gas spring guide" on page 162 of the parts catalogue that gives you the specs on all of the springs. A 10-296 is a 30lb shock with a rod diameter of 0.25", a body diameter of 0.625", a stroke of 3", compressed length of 7", extended length of 10" and as mentioned a lift of 30lbs. I'd definitely measure yours out and double check first, but I imagine that's going to be the correct one. A quick call to Ameritool can likely get you a replacement. Good luck.
