    about 1 1/2 weeks ago. With that group of people, they'll build a quality product.

    Agreed. I think of the old 'Quality is Job 1" slogan. I really think this group will be the A game to try to live up to looking forward, just as they were, looking back.

    Whatever level the hype, it's justified. Star studded cast of characters and they are motivated. I'm anxious to see what they've got.

    No one wants to wake up after the classic and then in the fall and realize their brand just dropped another place.

    I believe its due to the FACT that Ranger is known for what this group did, I own a Ranger and its a great boat. I have owned many other brands as well. I have never been one to put down a brand as someone's financials allow them to buy what they can and all boats now a days are good. The concern has been with Vexus coming is that the "RANGER TOP BOAT" mentality is going to be challenged with the SAME FOLKS that made the RANGER NAME SAKE. I am looking forward to see what they TOP on what they BUILT over the current RANGER BRAND. I really think its almost a "why did Forest and Randy" come back in the business. I feel they set standards that will be hard to top. I do know they had several ideas that never were able to be done, NOW IT WILL. So as a Ranger owner I can't wait to see what new ideas have been put in the market. ALL RANGER DIEHARDS asked for these new Ideas when it was the original group. I really think its like MR Ford or Chevy leaving the Car business then making a new BRAND that the people feel now that their purchases are not the best as they felt. VEXUS will be a boat to at least see. I want to see the new stuff they came up with.

    I think that may be a real downfall. Those ranger guys are going to be looking for ranger v2 and it might not look anything like a ranger

    I don't think the Vexus boats need to look like a Ranger to draw the old Ranger owners to the product. I would bet that Ranger owners will look to Vexus more for quality of construction, rather than just the looks.

    Nothing in those pics was there by accident. Just a teaser...

    Probably not many owners of any brand that will not take a look.

    While I am sure it will be more than I want to spend I want to see one and look it over. Should be top notch coming from that group.
