I like the looks of the aluminum rigs a lot. I just am not a fan of the fiberglass model. Does not mean its a bad boat, just means it doed not appeal to me.

I think they are going to be a great aluminum boat company. Not so much on the bass boat side.

The metal boats are cool. The hull is Aluminum. The whole interior is fiberglass, consoles, compartments, everything inside the boat. You feel like you are fishing out of a fiberglass rig. Very innovative design.

IMO, they missed a Golden Opportunity on the fiberglass side. With Ranger being bought by Bass Pro, the old Ranger team had an opportunity to hit a homerun and they miss it. I've climbed around in both FG models and there is no doubt it is a well made product with lots of cool features. It is just gaudy.

From the big fake metal "scoops" on the sides of the boat, the pickle-fork bow, the handicap handrails, to the billboard-like letters on the side, they are just too gaudy to garner mass appeal from the bass fishing guys that are well heeled enough to afford a $90K bass rig.

Three of my friends went to last years Bass Classic specifically to buy a new FG Vexus. None of them could pull the trigger. One of them bought a Bullet, one bought a Skeeter, and one bought a Ranger. My guess is that Vexus will pick up maybe 5% of the FG bassboat sales. I think there were a lot of perplexed people standing around when they unveiled the first one at the Classic last year. Shame too.

they hyped an hyped their glass boats up so much an said the other bass boats would be obsolete when they pulled the tarps off at the classic it was just another bass boat that was more expensive than other high end bass boats well will see how it goes wish them good luck.
