Thanks! I couldn't get it posted
Nice boat for sure...but out of my wallets league.

Pretty sharp.
OK. I" say it, WOW! I see no way to create a better layout or design for a bassboat. Can't wait to see one in person and go for a factory tour. Perfect in my eyes. And yes, I like the hand rails.
Is it aluminum?
Its not a bad boat for sure. As with any brand, there are a few things I would change but overall it's nice. I would not like the extra holes in the transom for poles and hoses. Just extra leak points. I do like the drainage and lid seal system

and in case you haven’t seen the ads, this baby will set you back around $80k if I remember correctly. I think they even had some that were close to $90k, I might be a tad high; but it was something like that.
Nice layout, I like the lines of the boat and design. The handle bars are ugly and look out of place (my opinion). But people say Bass Cats are ugly too. The price tag is definitely out of my league.

It's out of 98% of sane people's league!
They definitely put a lot of thought into every aspect. I don't necessarily agree or like everything, but I appreciate the innovation and desire to do something different and better. My #1 concern is the seat base. I'm struggling to believe they will hold up when a 250lb person is sitting and bouncing and leaning back. Just looks like they will break.
My thoughts exactly. I still see nothing that it can do that my paid for 521 can't do. Also not much on that sealed livewell I think all boats should come with the VT-2 vents they do a lot of good.

more impressed after watching this video then the release video at the classic. did notice lots of rubs and scratch marks in the paint for a new boat?? wonder if it will last like gelcoat?

No - base coat/ clear coat automotive will not. But you have to give it to them -as far as warranty issues dealers talking their head off on gelcoat flake repairs they will save a fortune. The ability to paint it anything anyone wants and any automotive shop and many do it your self people can fix automotive paint or know a cousins friends brothers aunt that can.
Hand stitched leather Italian steering wheel?! Man, just what I always wanted on a fishing boat.....

Wow!! very impressive...
Has anyone posted an actual price on a fiberglass model?

I kinda thought the same thing. While I love a nice leather steering wheel, it doesn't seem like it would hold up too well to the sun and water. Also, I didn't see any livewell controls at the bow panel. Seems like a luxury ride like this would have that.Hand stitched leather Italian steering wheel?!

I like the pickle fork front end, but the side bars are hideous. Also not a big fan of the pointed (vee) edges on the compartments and seat backs, but I guess it makes sense because of the Vexus name.
Looks like a fine boat. Not really for me, which is good because I can’t afford it anyway
