I don’t see much about their fiberglass boats and have yet to see one on the water. I’m not sure they have been warmly received

They’re definitely getting built
I've seen a few. Think they're one of the uglier glass boats available right now.
They are selling
I can only speak to the VX series...I have one. Ugly? I think not but beauty is in the eye of the beholder as they say. Every time I take my VX20 out, fill up, or am on the water, people tell me they love the boat. I've had people idle up to me and ask to look it over. So, they are not warmly received...they are hot. A lot has been said about ride and fishability and excellent in both categories is an understatement.
They are definitely different, but looks wise not for me.
I don't own a Vexus, but have seen 3 at different lakes at the boat ramp and I agree, the boat draws attention including mine! Like someone driving up in a late model Italian sports car.
Actually they have been very well received, Vexus is building these handcrafted fiberglass boats as fast as they can and they are sold out months in advance.Originally Posted by larry foster
but Vexus limited non-cookie cutter manufacturing methods of building fiberglass boats means limited production numbers so the market is not being flooded with them..
my best advice is find a local dealer that has a demo boat and go crawl all over it, look at fit and finish. examine the thought process that went into the design, ask for a test ride.
There selling the problem is they cant make them fast enough. Dealers cant get boats for inventory. The boats they are making are already sold
Seen one a few weeks ago on the water
That’s hilarious!! Me and my wife seen a AVX1980 in the same paint as my 1980. We both stared and pointed
The boat isn't for everyone and that was never the goal, anyway. Ride in one and fish out of one, and you're going to like it. As far as being warmly received, the factory is adding an additional mold, for each of their fiberglass hulls, to meet the demand.
Think everyone is selling out of everything these days, dealers lots around here are empty, no matter the brand.

I have owned Ranger boats for 22 years but after doing an in depth comparison I went with Vexus. These comparison pics are a few of the reasons why. You be the judge.

They are a little different, I'm not saying different is bad either. Just looking at them in the showroom, it appears you are sitting down in a high gunnel deep V boat. I bet it is a dry ride and looking at pictures it appears to sit flat in the water when fishing. The gel-coat finish also appears to my eyes as different, it looks almost like painted metal (it is flawless). They were out of my price range by more than a little but I did look one over closely.

I have run Ranger since 1985. Owned 8 of them. Still have two (92 361 V) (14 520 C) as of today. If I was in the market for a new boat today or in the future, Xexus or BassCat would be the only two brands i would consider.

I see a few here in Arkansas and they are on my short list when I replace the boat I just sold.
Saw a Vexus glass In the wild for the first time yesterday on Logan Martin. Looked good. Saw some at the classic. They’re a little high dollar for me but seem like great boats.
