@@TheBaitmanTV yeah I've read pretty much everything I can find. They say it definitely performs like fiberglass. What I want to find out is how they perform with the TM down. That's where aluminum kills at. Constantly drifting and getting blown around. If they got that squared away then the boat will probably be a winner. I just think they will have a niche market at that price point. They do look nice though. Dang nice.

I am more than happy with it. Best value (pre Covid) now the 1880 loaded out is the same price as an entry level z18 ranger with a 150 or 200, inflation killed it off

Better trolling motor and electronics than you can even get on most new boats. I changed up the decks and storage to fit my needs. I use it more than my Bass Cat or my Allison because it was designed and build by and for me. Everything is where I want it, not some idiot engineer who has never fished a day in his life.

A person can learn a lot about how well boats are made from a fiberglass boat repair shop. I’ve learned which boats they would buy, new or used, because most shops have worked on them all.

(No, I'm not paid by Vexus, but should be! 😎) Just a very happy owner with the best boat on my lake. BTW, this rig flies across the water and is butter smooth.

.100 Hull with a .125 transom. Get the Gator Trax, .190 throughout. Fiberglass infused? Read their website and it reads as if they think infused means place fiberglass accessories on top of an aluminum hull. How exactly do they "INFUSE" aluminum with fiberglass, they don't, that's how. It's a lot of "cute" buzz words and phrases. .100 thousandths hull at that price... Sure it'll run fine, premium price worthy, no. But we have extra this and that to reinforce, NO. Disappointed.

My tracker 190 with the 115hp pro xs motor came in at just under 25k. The Vexus 189 with that same configuration starts at almost 27k. I am not sure what makes them the most affordable bass boat. They do look nice though. I really dig the color schemes of the vexus and and love the pro XS engines but they do offer different engines such as eninrude and Suzuki. Something that tracker does not do. Love my tracker 190, but I do remember wishing they were a little more customizable from the factory. It is actually the reason why I almost went with an alumacraft instead of a tracker because the alumacrafts are much more customizable from the factory, but they are more expensive than trackers aswell. I personally really like the Lund boats, but again more expensive. I did a lot of research before purchasing my boat and just found that I would be getting the most for my money with tracker.

Man, I have watched every video available on this new brand VEXUS, and of course I love that it has an important part of Mr Wood's family building The Best and that's no surprise.. I can't wait to visit Malone's and see VEXUS ..Great Video KB, you're putting it All together man. Thanks

Best value? The incremental benefits do not overcome the incremental cost increase compared to less expensive boats in my mind. As you go up in boat costs, the average cost per fish caught annually for the average angler goes up exponentially. Look at your monthly budget and determine what you can afford then go find a new or used boat that fits. Where people get into trouble is where they get “sold” on an expensive boat then adjust their budget to make the cost fit. Don’t find yourself in the position where you can’t afford braces for your child’s teeth because your money is going into that expensive boat that only comes out of the garage a few times a month.

Well, I was not impressed with the ride as shown on your video, water seemed calm but the boat looked like it was floating in the air and bouncing around; maybe it was the operator nor trimming the boat our correctly but geez, looked like a rough ride in the calm water.

I was really interested in one of these boats, but then I watched a few review videos. They all complained about the same things like the compartment lids didn't fit well, tolerances were bad, carpet they use is looped, so your hooks get snag bad in the carpet. I can't wait to see one in person and take a test ride, maybe I will get hooked on one, but I'm still waiting for my Ranger RT188P I just ordered, so if I can get a demo before then, I might change my mind

I remember when the bass fishing industry had affordable boats and after the 90's turned 2000's it all went to hell. The wages were the same as now and the cost of living was cheaper but with a new generation of greedy ass people this is what we get. Affordable for rich people is the truth here but for the working man that is working hourly it is nowhere near affordable. I couldn't even scrap that aluminum boat for more than a thousand bucks. The engines now cost what a brand new bass boat use to cost. Nothing is affordable anymore! I purchased a used Skeeter that was only a few years old back in 98 that cost me 9k and it had a 150 Yamaha with a trolling motor and was in good condition. Nowadays that would be 38k and I was making bank per year in those days so 9k was "affordable". Good try! I still think the boat looks great like I do most every other new bass boat.

I’m late to this video but since I’m looking at new aluminum bass boats and the Venus is high on my list I watched. The three I’m interested in the most are Vexus AVX, Ranger RT and Lowe Stinger. The Vexus you seem like you get way more in the price standard. Ranger close second and Lowe would be 3rd. All these Bass Tracker guys saying they’d spend less and pocket the rest of the money? What money? 3/4 of us financing the damn thing anyways. The trackers even in the tournament edition you don’t get shit for options standard. Junk trolling motor, one tiny graph and everything is is just basic. I’m yet to find an aluminum where it checks all the marks but then again it’s not a fiberglass boat.

One is disagree on this when he talks about the step up to the front casting deck. He stated that Vexus give stuff like the step for free not like other boat manufactures. Vexus charges for a lot of things on their boats which drives the price up which makes them very expensive.

I’d think if I was gonna spend $45k on a bass boat I’d rather find a lightly used 2015-2016 glass boat than any aluminum boat. I know it’s glass infused but the weight difference still has to be dramatic. Everybody loves a speed demon running high on the water but what’s more important to me is how does it handle with the trolling motor and the weight of an aluminum, in my experience, makes a big difference. Also, for the money of these new bass boats these days up to $100k you could buy a new boat to take 50 miles offshore and catch tuna and swordfish with. I realize much of the country doesn’t have access to such a fishery, but it’s worth a moment to think about that!

Tell your boat sales rep that the structure inside the step down box is a “hat channel”. That is the reinforcement used in most high quality made boats.
