    AVX 181 on the water review ?

    Now that the new AVX 181 is starting to show up at dealers, has anyone been on the water in one yet ? I've looked at them in person, but would love to hear how the 181 performs and an get the owners thoughts.
    Thanks !!

    I bet you're excited brendelfish. Congrats !!! What color did you order ? I like the white, but the blue looks real nice too. I'm very close to pulling the trigger on one and would love to hear from someone who has one. I'm on a large busy lake, Lake Norman NC, but just want something to fish mornings, evenings and the off season. No tournaments, just fish for fun. I also need a rig I can safely pull, "and stop', with a Jeep Wrangler. Although my plan is to have it on a lift, in a slip most of he time.
    If anyone has any info or thoughts on the 181, please share it with us.
    Thanks, Hope everyone has a great 2021. It has to better than 2020.

    I expect (crossing fingers) to have mine the end of May. Would love to hear about everybody's experiences on the 181. Not a whole lot of first hand owner reviews out there but pulled the trigger anyways.

    can any of you 181 owners confirm the height of the trailer (ground to bottom of coupler)? I'm trying to determine the correct hitch ball height for my truck.
