    Photo of today's first production boat. . .

    Surrounded by a host of fabricating and welding gear, the first AVX1980 boat models started production at Vexus™ this week. We’ve attached a few images from the ramp-up in this post. In a couple of the photos, you’ll see our Dense Base™ hull construction and Vector Force™ transom. (More on those features and others can be found in the ‘Advantages’ section of our website)
    Speaking of the website, we’ve revised several sections and will be continuing the updates throughout the year. Among the latest additions, we’ve just uploaded an extensive list of Standard Features for the AVX189 and AVX1980. The 189 has been on a mini-tour across the country but showed back up just long enough for us to capture some on-water photography last week. Those images have also been uploaded to vexusboats.com
    From model reviews to production processes, we’ll be passing along even more details soon. Above all, we appreciate your interest and the opportunity to share what we’re up to. Have a good week!

    What are the standard features? All I can find is below, no real details

    "Tournament Grade Standard Features & Accessories – We’ve all seen ‘em… those high-volume factory packages with cheap/weak trolling motors, light gauge wiring, minimal batteries, plastic storages, and depth finders smaller than your smart phone. The point being that poorly-equipped boats can be just as disappointing as those that are feebly built. It’s why every handcrafted Vexus is outfitted and rigged by folks that truly understand the value of your time on the water. Top end to bottom line, it’s the kind of confidence you can really lean on."

    Edit: I'm an id10t....the actual models are hyperlinks

    Probably a cold saw.
    There’s no use being stupid if you’re not willing to show it off.

    THOUGHT THE SAME THING ... sorry, didn't mean to yell. I thought the same thing ...

    Maybe he's hearing impaired and that's why he got stuck on the saw?
