    After watching another walk through video on the 19 XB I have likes and dislikes vs the AVX 1880 I have on order:

    Likes- Closed bottom helm.
    It will take a 150 hp !
    .125 Hull
    3/4" threaded seat post pins


    Dislikes- Low spare tire mount
    Trailer hinge is farther forward than the hull taking more garage clearance
    Only Yamaha
    Cheap Seats
    No driver's side console
    If you put dual graphs on helm you will block gauges
    No front console
    Center rod locker only holds 8
    Overall trim of trailer and boat

    These are just my opinions and yes I am partial....my 40k says so!

    I noticed the few dealers I could find were all Yamaha/Skeeter dealers and most of those are on the coast. Could be a good boat but without that little insignificant looking little crease along the bottom of each side, I guarantee it’s going to get you wet in choppy water. Vexus won’t unless of course the wind is so strong it blows it back into the boat. JMHO

    Can speak for how they are made, but, the boat they had at the classic was the 20 foother, regular price $51,500 but was selling for $47,000.

    Deck is smaller than 2080 though.

    Also, the 21XB will come standard w/ a 250.

    Overall I think it is a nice looking boat. If it doesn't do anything, it will force others to compete for your business.

    Well if we are comparing it to a Vexus then I think we are ok.

    I thought Avid were the folks that made Sprint boats???? If so some are right to question build quality. My father and brother both owned Sprints and both had issues taling on water due to top cap and hull not fitting properly.

    I also wonder if the polyflake on the top cap of the avid will oxidate over time.. I dont know, I just want Vexus to make a .125" hull 21 footer with a 250 on the back, Vexus's are already proven boats and maybe with all this competition coming up they will do this.

    Vexus doesn't currently have a 21' model to put a 250 on. The 20' models are rated the same at 200hp

    The way the rest of the AVX line is they would rate the 21 footer for 225.

    The Avid also doesnt appear to have the splash channel on the sides of the hull. I'm also quite sure they dont build them nearly as well as Vexus, or have the customer service of Vexus either!

    Wow. Even being a recent member of the REVOLUTION myself, how can you make that statement about Avid. Terms like "quite sure" and "nearly" really give the impression that you have not done your research. I admit I have only seen these on the internet but obviously Avid has joined the revolution too by ripping off Vexus.

    I'll take a .125 hull any day. Not a whole lot of companies doing this yet.

    Did you watch the video? There are some nice enhancements if you compare to what Vexus is currently building and it would be great if they incorporated these into their boats.

    Jury is still out on quality and customer service

    It sure looks built better than the Vexus, and thats not a knock on Vexus.
