    My Vexus 1880 is shipping Aug 20th

    115 Mercury Pro XS, Sapphire blue, Trick steps, Garmin 93's at each end, Garmin force trolling, shocks on the rod locker, extra cleat at the drivers console, Speedometer delete to make room for my phone mount, glove box in the center and a boat cover. My dealer is driving 6 hrs to make the delivery a few states over so I don't have to make the drive.
    Great customer service by Mike Peterson at Last chance performance marine in Hemet, Ca. and Keith Tripp at Vexus.

    Who has the trick steps and how are they working out? i fish solo 99 % of the time so the steps should help me out, that and i'm 61 yrs old and not as agile as i once was..

    You’ll love the boat and the steps.

    I held off buying them for my last boat because it needed a new trailer. I put them on this boat and love love love them. I too fish solo more often than not and they make getting in and out a breeze.

    Congrats, Enjoy!

    My 1880 is supposed to ship on the 20th as well! Can't hardly wait. I'm only about 2.5 hours from the plant and would like to take a tour as it's going down the line. Not sure I can fit it in to schedule though.

    Sweet! Take a few pics of my boat if possible. Sapphire blue with Garmin’s and trick steps. Should be the only one like it.
    I wish I lived close enough to make a visit myself.

    Hey ifishinxs, my sales rep just texted me that the Vexus rep just told her that he thought my boat would start production next Tuesday. That'll be two days down the line so hopefully get some pictures of both of ours.

    Are there any changes in the 1880 for 2021?

    I have a 2021 2080 Vexus, I have the trick steps, and for an older guy(60) the steps are great. Rather than roll over the side of the boat, like a big hog, onto the back deck, stand up, walk to the console and sit down, so the steps are wonderful. great in the garage too, I dont hesitate to get in and out of the boat when preparing tackle for the next trip to a lake.

    I may have to order some of them there trick steps. It's a piece of cake to lower my tailgate and hop in/out etc., but, I totally forgot about how the top of tail gates and winch stands don't get along when you have to make a 90 degree turn pulling out of your parking space to head back to the ramp. Oops!

    One of the first things going I’m going to do is check my tailgate and bumper clearance.

    You Can buy an extended draw bar that should help clear your tailgate!

    Yes!
    Mark just picked up his 2021. Built in front Navigation lights, tool holders built into the front step. Although not a major deal it looks like the rigging tube thru deck fitting is different as well.

    Scoshe magnetic phone mount! I have one in my truck and its great and wont come loose. The other option was the Ram Phone mount.

    My boat delivery date has been changed twice now. I'm hoping for delivery in the next 2 weeks. They almost sent me the boat with the analog speedometer. Looks like it made it to rigging before it was noticed.
