so we are all in agreement it flopped. I believe my original prediction was 5 years and they will be gone. I think that's a solid forecast Will see if they can adapt. Redesign the looks, maintain the quality, lower price point and they have a winner. So Start Over?

I don't know what other choice they really have. They should have just continued with the exterior design/lines legend had. Also like someone else said about wanting the sparkle the fact they paint the hull is stupid. I'll give it to them their aluminum boats seem innovative,looks there could also be improved but not ugly at least.

Referring to the wet candy gloss you only get with gel coat, paint just don't have the same effect.

They should just make a glass boat that looks like their tin boats, just make it a little larger.

I like the new Skeeter and the Caymas boats. I did not like the glass Vexus at all. Many features on it I didn't like including the gap between the windshield and the console. Is that supposed to be an air vent?

saw a red one at lake fork marina this weekend, thought is was about the ugliest bass boat I have ever seen.
wth is up with the huge chrome vexus on the side and the plastic chrome accents in front of it?
just looked bulky.
