    Vexus 2080 with add-ons

    Big thanks to Vexus and Ron Hoover Marine for putting this boat together. Finished a few finishing touches and this boat is ready to go. Hope this helps you guys figure out what you do or do not want to do with these boats.

    Curious if you'll get reading on plane with your transducers.

    I'll post about the transducer readings when I get it on the water. Chances are it's going to take some tinkering to get it working on plane.

    Can you get good pics of how the transducer cables are ran up and along the Ultrex? I have a Live scope and another transducer to install just like yours.

    Thanks! I see they ran the cables along the side of the safe through that fork mounting point. Can you tell if it pinches the cables there or is there clearance?

    Yeah sure. There's enough clearance

    Great, where did they mount the Livescope's box? My plan was to mount mine in the starboard locker.

    Within the tip of the bow. If you took out the bow plate, you'd essentially see it shoved to the front of the boat

    Took the boat out today to break in the motor. Got a transducer reading up to around 35-40 mph. I put a video together from the drive today. ENJOY!

    Not bad but about what I thought would happen when you got on plane. Install looked high.

    What brand of light is that on your trolling motor? Congrats on the nicely outfitted boat!
