Infused boats are the latest and greatest in offshore boats. They are the lightest and strongest.
Maybe they are going this route, I don't know. Wait and see.

I really think the reason for not having a glass boat out yet is because of a non compete that will expire in Feb-March, very anxious to see what they come out with, I think it will be very good.

It will be interesting to see if they go for the Uber rich or try for the hardcore tournament guys. If they try for the tournament guys, they better have some big incentives to compete with what Ranger puts out and then all the multiple smaller circuits that other brands sponsor (basschamps w/Skeeter for example). Guess if they go for the wealthy, they may or may not survive long.
That is a good looking aluminum boat, Id never buy one though. With $100k bass boats, $70k vehicles pulling them, and thousands of dollars of tackle.... you're talking about the same group of people, right?

I went to both the Ranger factory and Vexus factory about 2 months ago. The Vexus boat is so much better built, there really is no comparison. If you can do the trip, please consider going to Flippin Arkansas to see how and why they build them the way they do. Air conditioned factory, "in envelope" blown fiberglass compartments, water tested at stations along the way, not at the end of the process. The 19+ ft model is the one I like, with either a 150 Evinrude 2 stroke or a 150 4 stroke Merc. They also now have a 20ft+ with a dual axle trailer that has a 200 HP on it. My next boat for sure. Good luck on your decision.

Good luck on your decision. It should be it is about 10 grand higher rigged same as ranger rt just saying. Before I would do that think glass would be a better choice. Problem is glass are too pricey so Ill just fish my rt 188. J D

Good luck on your decision.  the Vexus is an aluminum, not really any comparison to any glass boat much less a ranger, from the videos I've seen the Vexus seems to be very tippy, which is not surprising for v bottom aluminum, but again as I said no comparison.
