    Avid boats? Huh?

    How long have they been around? Hull looks a lot like a vexus. Nice wide boats. Never heard of them though.

    A year or so least. Beautiful boats in person. Looks like a great boat with little hype.

    Not the guy who started Nauticstar, one of the younger kids in the family that owned Nauticstar started Avid. I plan on ordering my boat on October 12th, I was going to go a couple weeks ago but hurricanes kept getting in the way. I am ordering from a Dealer a few hours away and they are not open on weekends so it pushed me back a little. I am not in a rush and I want to do the deal in person. I also want to look over the boats one last time. They are really nice and have tons of features standard that are expensive upgrades on other boats.

    I saw them at the Classic Expo last year. They looked really nice. The price the guy told me made them look even better!

    If they are as good as my old Sprint....then I'd say they are worth a look....

    A local brought his in for a 20 hour service to our dealership last week. It is a beautiful boat. I was really impressed. I have a feeling they will be around for a while after seeing their product.

    I thought it was started from one of the Vexus guys that left? I haven’t seen one in person, but they do look sharp in pictures.

    I walked all over their center console at the Classic Expo and it was one of the finest boats there. It would be on my very short list to purchase.

    We sell quite a few of them. They are great solid boats and they will listen to you bout upgrades on the next year models. We sell the CC boats before we even get them in stock!

    are the front decks wider than the Vexus? Also does it sit lower in the water....finally saw a Vexus in Person and it sat high out of water and front seemed really narrow.

    The only thing I see off the bat is that the port and starboard lids don't come with gas pistons on them.. I can already see me throwing a rod in the drink opening one up for something lol
