    I only have one request for the 20-21' fiberglass bass boats.

    Please make the rod lockers on the front deck so rods can be installed on the drivers side verses the passenger side, or just make both sides rod lockers. Let the angler decide where they want to store their rods and how they wish to distribute weight in the boat.

    95% of the time an angler is fishing by himself, this puts more weight on the drivers side. Rods weigh nothing so it makes sense to have a rod locker on the drivers side so additional stored items can be kept on the passenger side, balancing out the boat.

    Thanks in advance if Vexus engineers agree with my thought process and implement a logical idea.

    I totally agree. I am not a fan of the center rod box fad.

    I agree i like rods port/starboard, but if i could get 2/4 rods in the center like the current skeeter fx 20/21 i think that would be great,

    Another thing I would ask is make the whole glove box molded, like Ranger used to do. Now it is flimsy plastic with screws coming loose and things slipping through. And a designated recessed area with cover on side of boat, under driver console for sonic hub, and imaging box

    Could you at least make it faster than a Ranger ... shouldn't be too hard to do.

    FULL length rod boxes on BOTH sides. CENTER rod box holding 6 or 8 rods along top with DEEP storage underneath. Look at the Charger Elite 210--PERFECT front deck layout with 2 DEEP big storage boxes on back deck. Also, please offer the CHOICE in the rod boxes of EITHER the rodholders and tubes OR just a carpeted open full length rod boxes on each side. Personally, it's easier, faster, and simpler to get rods in and out using the rod socks with almost no limit on number of rods. PLEASE allow for 8 foot rods. One more request--PLEASE go with full length DIVIDED live well like in your aluminum boats. I AM waiting to see your lineup of glass boats because do intend to buy a new boat after seeing what Vexus has to offer. Thanks.

    Exact boat I now own and also why I would LOVE to see Vexus laid out as I described above.

    Center storage that fits 3700 boxes neatly... like a Legend v20 center compartment.

    How about an extra tube under the main wiring harness so us amateurs can pull wires without disturbing factory wiring . It would be a lot easier changing lectronics

    Steve are these empty tubes - i.e. additional tubes?

    The one to the bow has the Bow Light wires and the Bow Electronics cables (Trolling motors goes up the port side)
    Tube to the rear has engine and dash wiring .
