They will be gone in 3 years I don't think so. They have a lot of money behind them and the folks at Vexus are not stupid. The Vexus is a good product. It is just misplaced. My guess is they realized their gaffe by the end of last year's Classic. That hull needs to have a multi-species layout for the Great Lakes. Their metal boat lineup is awesome. If they will listen to some of the guys that fish for a living they will increase sales dramatically. I would be surprised if they have sold a dozen FG boats in Texas since March 2019 and this is a huge market for high end FG boats. I want to see them do well. I was anxiously awaiting their arrival. Who wouldn't want to see all the old Ranger guys (and gals, Forrest Wood had 4 daughters) hit a home run after Johnny Morris raided them. I will always root for the underdogs. Johnny Morris took a failing company and tried to make it profitable. Now where are those that ran ranger down oh right Vexus lmao .
I got all day I’m retired

I ask the Vexus rep and he said it wasn't but couple hundred pounds but I feel its just in hull design. The ride feels kinda like an old champion due to boat runs deep in the water compared to a flatter Ranger ride that runs Higher in the water on pad. Maybe its just me. I really liked the Vexus and is extremely well built but I got a super buy on a new Loaded Ranger.
GO FISH!

Structure like wood , brush, willows, etc that rub against the side of the boat that rip off stickers, emblems or fancy looking wakeboard boat designs I was guessing that is what you would say. ALL of those things are COVER, not "structure" if you adhere to the status-quo definition of what "structure" is and what "cover" is. Cover most often grows - it's organic. Structure is generally the geography under the water - humps, ridges, ledges, flooded creek channels, submerged bridges and roadbeds, etc.

Fished out of a 2019 Ranger 520L this weekend at Fork and all I can say is all other boats are simply pretenders.

I have looked at junk baits ranger, mentioned above, up close and personal. It is a work of art. It needs scratching and he wont let me drive it but I'd say ranger is just fine. Have you noticed that every boat is compared to ranger. There is a reason for that.

Lol, yep. You could ask a generic question like what is the benefits of a hydraulic jackplate vs manual. He will tell you no one can answer correctly with out knowing your boats top speed, rpm at wot, holeshot time, trolling motor brand, size of batteries and boat color

Fordntrition thinks he so smart, but actually he's so uninformed he has never known the difference between structure and cover. I seriously doubt he meant to say "cover". If he had, he would have defined structure correctly. But, he did not, revealing he's not as smart as he thinks he is. It's not the first stupid thing I've seen come from him - he seems quick to jump in with all his "expertise". He's a legend in his own mind.
rj, what regional AOY have you achieved?
