    The 1880 intro thread shows still shots on pad with 115. Would like to see the 135 on one just for visuals

    Maybe, maybe not, but I bet Vexus doesn't pull any of their business away!

    I would like to know how many bass tin boats are sold with 200 or 250 hp motors. I'd wager that it is a very small number.

    I think the Xpress boats are heavier weight since the hull is thicker material so they need more hp to push them thru the water. It’s funny how they have released only 3 models and the negative opinions are normal. Their product line is not meant to please everyone. However, I do know they have taken business away from Ranger.

    But they do have a 19' aluminum boat that can go 70 mph if you want to. And most of the complaints are issues every other aluminum boat has.

    Like I said Vexus has an awesome rig, I'm just saying if they would up the hp rating they would have.....wait for it.....a game changer! Lol. With that change I don't think anyone wanting an aluminum wouldn't give Vexus a serious look! They would have something for everyone.

    You guys in the know....what’s a 1980 with a 150 going for?? Are they in the 50’s? Obviously package makes a difference but what are we talking?
    Can you run a jack plate or talons/power poles?

    Wow, that’s pretty good for a boat that size with a 150 I would bet that gets across the lake with a G2
    Looking forward to them making their way to the north county, hoping to visit the factory this fall... maybe take the tour!

    I would venture to say that Vexus will pull some business from all boat manufacturers, now how much remains to be seen, I think they will do well. I have a glass rig on reserve, can't wait to see what they are going to look like, sure hope they do not under power them, lol.

    I think it's good for a company to hear exactly what customers or potential customers think about their products, listening to customer feedback is usually what increases sales in the future. I was all in if I could order it with a 200 on the back, and it sounds like I'm not alone!
    Exactly my thoughts too!

    I have a question. Arent the people behind these boats the same ones that designed and made the Ranger RT series? At that time they were the greatest tins on the planet because of the name on the side now they are just run of the mill lack luster tins like all the rest?

    This may answer your question.......So how is that resale value holding up on your Bass Tracker?
