    They are pretty much matching what is already out there just putting a fancy looking console and paint job. No doubt they look nice but they have an 18’10” with a 115 (run of the mill) 19’10” with a 150 ( run of the mill) and likely a 20’10” model with a 200 again run of the mill stuff thats already out there. Im wondering if the 20 footer is still made out of .100” aluminum?

    Give them a few years to get the bugs worked out of their new line of boats.

    Looks like a nice rig. I think if I was going to drop $50k on a 21' boat I'd want more than a 200 hp on it, but that's just my opinion, it will probably sell good.

    Yeah, if I was spending that kind of money, I'd get a Z519 with a 225 V8!

    It's being introduced at the FLW Cup and Forrest will be there. That's kind of interesting.

    I know I’ve watched the videos a few times and the green one with the Etec H.O. Is riding high and looks to be moving out!

    My F150 Lariat supercrew was $36k when I bought it, same truck costs a lot more today!

    I’d have no problem rocking a Vexus with a new Mercury 4s ProXS or an Etec H.O. They’re nice looking boats no doubt and the layouts seem to use space nicely. The hull design is special. To me they’re almost a hybrid with the ‘glass add-ons. The videos are well done, I just want to see one in person.

    If there is one near Tampa someone please speak up!

    I like the look of the boat, but man there high dollar. When i think of aluminum i think of going places where a glass boat shouldnt, i could not do that with that rig, 1 for the money and 2 for how nice it looks

    nice looking boats, but if I'm going to spend that kind of money, I go with Xpress. we need to wait a few years to see how they hold up.

    I’m with Bkt1, he said it much better than I did! The whole point of having a smaller, lighter, not 80k boat is to get places they just can’t. The Vexus blurs that line a lot!

    No kidding, I have seen so much complaining about HP. They release a higher HP model now everyone complains about the price. The best part is VEXUS HAS NOT RELEASE PRICING! No offense to Tracker or any other brand, but these are different boats than anything that is currently offered. If you want Tracker pricing and quality, go buy a Tracker. They are not going for taking over the cheap boat market, they are trying to offer a quality product that is actually comfortable to ride in.

    Have any of you actually seen a Vexus in person? Have any of you actually ridden in or drove a Vexus? If you have, did you really take an unbiased look at them? I have, I am definitely not bias to any brand of boat. I looked at pretty much every brand and model of aluminum bass boat on the market. Vexus surpasses them all by a long shot in quality and design.

    Then you don't buy a 20' boat with a 200.

    And they complain about the price. It has a 200 HP motor! You could bolt it to a plywood box and it would still be expensive.

    That's because people wanted the higher horsepower with the smaller boats. Putting a bigger motor on a bigger boat is pretty much the same problem.
