Why has not one person mentioned that they rode in the boat and how it rode and why no weight is posted on the website?

I don't think anyone other then the people at Vexus as ridden in one yet. I think they are going to start rides in next few days. I don't know on the weight issue.Originally Posted by 2015Ranger
We had a line of demo riders at Lake of the Ozark two weeks ago .
This weekend will be https://www.facebook.com/ClarkMarine...type=3&theater
April 13th will be Malone's Marine On the Water Demo Day
as we get more event scheduled i will let you know
sorry my bad didn't know and hadn't seen any post about their experience so I was just guessing. Mr Clark when you get some demo rides on rough water if they don't mind have them come on here and post. I would love to hear about their rides in rough water.
i know the rides on Lake of the Ozark last weekend was rough and cold.
i really am surprised no one has posted about it yet, was told they gave demo rides for 4 hours both Friday and Saturday.
why are there no weights listed on the boats on the website or in catalogs?

There was an unbelievable response to our new fiberglass VX20 when Ryan Patterson and I took it last weekend to Lake of the Ozarks for the OMTT tournament. We had the opportunity to give many people demo rides and answer a lot of questions. It was truly gratifying to see the reaction on their faces when they experienced this revolutionary boat in person.
If you didn’t get a chance to ride the VX20 at Lake of the Ozarks, you’ll have another opportunity this coming weekend. We will be fishing the Verne D. Cubbage Memorial Bass Tournament out of Pontiac Cove Marina in Pontiac, MO, this Saturday. Even though we build boats for a living, we love fishing out of them just as much, and we always enjoy a good derby on Saturday morning! When a tournament, such as this one, also benefits a worthy cause, it’s even better. I’ll be hanging around after weigh-in (3:30 pm) to answer any questions you have about our new line of fiberglass boats and give demo rides (weather permitting).
I hope to see you there!

My boats, trucks, atvs and motorcycles have all been girls, and normally named something that I can't type herebut I still know what they all weigh!

DANG !!
LOL
OOPS MEANT THAT FOR THIS ONE .... DANG LOL
I took advantage of the Vexus Demo Day @ Wind River Marina on Tellico Lake, TN that was put on by Bunch Marine of Harriman, TN. Met more Vexus employees who were very accommodating and rode in the new fiberglass VX21 with 250HP Mercury Pro XS V8. It handled the choppy water like a dream from the many boats and houseboats that were out on a 75 degree Saturday afternoon . Very responsive engine (hole shot) and midrange power. One thing I didn’t expect is how easy it turns. Keith Tripp did some donuts in it and then back the other direction. Handled that better than any boat that size I have been in. Once people get in these boats they will sell themselves. Another aspect of the hull design that helps in the rough water is that the deep V hull transitions to a curved hull shape rather than a flat surface, so when the hull comes down you don’t get a loud slap like in other boats.
The Bunch Marine guys were also very helpful and took everyone out and let them drive if they wanted to. I drove the AVX2080 with the 200HP Mercury Pro XS, and it handles pretty much like my AVX1980. I could tell the extra 4” of length would be helpful on any of the TVA lakes or other big bodies of water. Thanks everyone for putting this on, and I know from the conversations on the dock they sold a few boats today.

Seems to be a secret for all their models. How hard can it be to weigh a boat?My boats, trucks, atvs and motorcycles have all been girls, and normally named something that I can't type here

Clark how come you never reply to people asking about the hull weight seems like a question that many people are asking. Considering you are giving demo rides And taking orders on boats I would have to imagine those numbers would be helpful.
We need weight and how shallow it drafts.
And what kind of speeds?
There’s no use being stupid if you’re not willing to show it off.
A good guess might be that they have not finalized their production boat yet.
Guess we will never know haha
Sorry guys, was fishing all weekend ..
Okay, here is the deal on hull weights and why i have purposely not got involved in those threads.
We have only hand built a few prototype boats in our R&D facility so far, these are not production line built boats, therefore we never weighed these hulls since things may change by the time we get the production line up and running. What i can say is our Deck/Hull will typically be between 10% and 20% lighter than a comparable length conventionally built fiberglass boat.
Do i expect you to believe that statement? "No"
but until we can get production up and running and get some "Real World" weights i don't feel comfortable throwing out numbers.
Thanks guys -
