vexus vexus is an Latin word started with v. Here is the definition of vexus in English a pack, a bundle. Probably picked company name to correlate to the price of their boats.

Actually I saw a video, can't find it now where Keith Daffron, Forrest's grandson was asked about how they chose the name. It was some acronym from his college sorority days I believe. I still hate the name.

Wonder who's gonna be their dealers in Texas. Gig'em, just a hunch, but I'm betting we'll all be driving down the road some day soon and a sign in front of a building that used to say something will now say Vexus. Just a hunch. In that group photo is one of if not the top sales guy for Ranger, now working for Vexus.

Nothing like a warm welcome for a new bass boat manufacturer from a bunch of bass fishing guys.

In that group photo is one of if not the top sales guy for Ranger, now working for Vexus. You think the name on the building use to say Cabela's ? That's a joke actually but 'ol Johnny likes to own boat companies. If they're smart they'll be close to a lake like BPS. Makes it convenient to take test drives and show potential customers how much better their boat is than the competition. Prolly wouldn't hurt to get a big name BASS guy on board either.
I am a Senager. (Senior teenager) I have everything that I wanted as a teenager, only 50 years later. I get an allowance every month. I have PU truck and a bass boat, I am blessed.

The Daffron's & Hopper's are all related to Forrest Wood. Forrest & Nina had four daughters. Two are their son in laws and one is his grandson. But then again, I guess everyone in Arkansas is related. Not true their are two Limbs in the trees in Arkansas. LOL

Im thinking all the smaller existing Ranger dealerships.
