    I saw one at the boat ramp that gray color it looked really good and as Ken said the other colors it’s just ok but I think it really makes that boat lines look good in that color

    I wonder if the designers at Vexus (or any boat manufacturer) would take any of Ken's (or any bass fisherman's) comments or thoughts into account and consider implementing them in the future.... like relocating guages so they can be seen with dual graphs at the console

    Just watched it. I’ve been waiting for him to review a Vexus. Boat looked really nice. Looking forward to video 2 and 3 of the review.

    In my very limited contact with Vexus they have been very open to new ideas. Comments and ideas from boat owners is what fuels innovation and change.

    They look great, super quality and innovation. Out of my price range though.

    Willie, your boat looks awesome. I was hoping Ken was going to rate the boat but in the video he says he prefers a 21 foot boat and will wait until he finds a VX21. Enjoy your new boat.

    Hopefully all the manufacturers listen to him, he has made some great points. Vexus should hire him to sell boats, get away from all the "revolution" and made up trademarked marketing term stuff that's overdone.

    I agree with this. That revolution stuff is so dumb.

    The VX20 is a 21 ft boat (20-11)

    Yeap! Just like the AVX line up just being a few inches short of the next size up. The 1880 is 19ft, 1980 is 20ft and the 2080 is 21ft. Other manufacturers market boats just opposite. A Tracker 195 is actually 18ft 7”

    Plenty of other boat companies market like vexus. 19, 20, and 21' boats are usually 6 to 8" longer than they are advertised.

    Only 4 inches separate the 1980 from a 2080. 19' 10" and 20' 2". Both are "20'" boats.

    Thought Kens review was really good of the VX20 and can’t wait to see the VX21 with the complete review of both. Trying to decide between a VX21 and a Lynx, just having a few personal hang ups with the Vexus. IMO they are missing the boat with the trailer by not welding up the pole and steps to the trailer as it really looks like an add on instead of belonging too. Also, am very partial to a Bass Cat trailer being the best in the business, would like the bunks set up more of the same instead of excess hardware between bunk and frame.

    The Vexus trailer is top notch. Have you noticed the storage compartments in the trailer steps? My VX20 came standard with brakes on all 4 wheels. Only thing I would change is move the spare to the side from under the front of the boat. The boat loads effortlessly on the trailer

    I'm sure the trailer is top notch, just making an observation from boat shopping and narrowing it down to the nitty gritty. As far as the storage compartments in the trailer steps, was commenting on the pole and 3 steps that basically look like an after thought and do not flow well with the look of the boat and trailer. I seriously want to purchase a Vexus, but have a few personal hang ups and am looking at after market poles and steps from other manufactures that may flow better.

    Speaking of flow, how do you compare the lynx interior to the Vexus? The lynx is a nice boat, but its not even close to the vexus for an interior fit/finish/flow IMO.

    I would have to agree with you on the interior look versus each other, but was specifically talking about the pole and 3 steps. I had know idea that Ken would discuss the latches in his video, but glad he mentioned because its something that could be changed by Vexus if open to discussion, like mentioned above. Glad this thread was started and can't wait to see the VX21 results along with others.
