Vexus Demo ride report
Cypress Bend
Spent several hours with the rep Thursday. He's a friend and former rep for the boat I run. The boat is impressive to say the least. Got under the boat to have a look see. The pad and offset looked "familiar", but as the strakes and chines go forward, you see how deep the keel is with this hull. That's why they can make the storage so deep. The wide transom allows for bolting Talons or poles directly to the hull and not to the jackplate, meaning less movement and vibration. Another stand out feature was their flooring matl. wasn't slick. The air ride suspension seating is pretty remarkable. Absorbs nearly all wave impact. The cooler is trick, as is the stepdrawer storage. Problem I saw? Storage within in reach of sitting behind the console, for phone,wallet,glasses,etc. I guess the sandwich tray in the cooler would suffice. Just a little a awkward to get out of the seat, running or idling to get to something in the step drawer. Got an idea to remedy that.
Performance was impressive, but you can put a Merc V8 4 stroke on a bayliner and it would be impressive. Lift, handling, speed,stability,pretty much the same as my current rig.
The paint job. Beautiful. Time will tell.
Would I run one? With the right deal, damn right!
