thanks ifishinxs, I posted this on the Vexus site, hope it helps others to avoid problems

I am not very happy with my new Vexus AVX 181. I know many people are wanting to hear about this boat. Performance is pretty good, it rides better in rough water than my previous RT178. I only goes...

I sent the comments I made on this forum to Vexus on May 27th, still haven't heard back from them. I wanted Vexus to have a chance to respond before I posted my comments today.

Thanks Bill, it is a pad hull, probably why it performs so well.

Just took my new boat out for a break in period. The boat is pretty much loaded with all options. I was extremely pleased with everything but the draft, only 14 inches. I have a 60hp Mercury command...

I hope to pick the boat up this next week, waiting for options to be installed. If I can figure out how to do pictures I will and yes the boat will be on the water in Clinton soon after I get it,...

Express is a great boat but look at the Vexus forum under the thread new vexus 181. It looks like exactly the boat you want.

The Vexus dealer in Bedford, Ill just took me out on the water to see if everything worked before letting me take it home. I have had over a dozen crappie boats and have been searching for many many...

I just bought a vexus 181 with a command thrust 60 0n it. It will replace my Ranger RT 178 with a 75 hp mercury. I am anxious to see the difference. I will let you know plane speed difference and...

Lou 22, Are you saying the 115 has trouble or is slow to get on plane because of the weight in the back or that you are afraid the motor may hit bottom because the boar rises too much and puts the...

sounds like this is a tougher question than I thought. Would a pad hull make a difference?

Does the size of the motor make a difference when moving slow in rough water. If you had a 17 to 18 foot long mod v aluminum boat would the size of the motor make a difference in 1 to 2 foot rough...

Thanks sandman, good idea, I will look into that

Hope somebody answers you, I have the same or similar question, how much difference is there in the F70LA and the 75 mercury 4 stroke because there is a hundred pound difference in weight. I don't...

Looking at buying a 189c with 115 merc but I fish with a couple of real heavy buddies. I have heard that with a heavy load the bow height catches a lot of wind. I also heard Vexus put the gas tank...

Man this site has saved my butt several times as I hook up my mega 360 and new helix 10. Especially a big thanks to wayne.

Thanks ring king, I will assume that if I turn the sonar off I won't need to shut off power to the mega 360, right

I have a helix 10 MDI gps g3n and a mega 360 hooked together with y cable. I believe it is best to power down both sonar when I pull fortrex out of the water and rengage power when I out it back in...

Thanks cdd8, you have given me the best solution I have found and I have looked considerably. I still worry about so much loose cable that can catch on submerged branches, stumps, and trees since I...

Thanks Cdd8, I agree the Excel and the Xpress best fit my needs, both great boats and the options and draft seem to be the big difference. My biggest concern with either boat is that the trolling...

Done some research and it looks like a Xpress H18 B is what I am looking for anyone familiar with this boat? Will it work for both fresh and saltwater?

Thinking of moving to Florida, so I want a boat for calm saltwater, pan fishing, and I have always liked aluminum boats over fiberglass. I'm serious looking at a Xpress H18 B with a 90 hp Yammie.

Thanks for input, I have been looking at an Xpress 18B, it's a tin built for salt water. Anybody heard anything about that boat?
