Boy if I did not know better, some of these posts could be construed "as the pot calling the kettle black".

Flipping-Out where would this forum be without you correcting everybody's posts that you view needs correcting. Thanks for clarifying Fordntriton"s post. I sure was confused on what he meant to say. 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 Very funny. You added "color" to the list. Funny thing is that the people with the performance knowledge to answer such a question will need some of that info, though you've comically added to it. Do you believe that setback and height have a one-size-fits-all solution? The peanut gallery should go learn a little bit and spend less time throwing peanut shells.

Seems that most boats built for the last 10 years use a lot of molded aluminum and plastic sheeting bolted, screwed or glued to the consoles, interiors, bows, gunnels and sterns. Some of it is for looks, but to me it looks like a short-cut to cover up imperfections from poor quality rigging of the steering, gauges, switches, etc..... I still like the clean look of fiberglass with minimal bedazzling.

Where did i say setback or height. I said benefits of hydraulic. Such as adjusting in rough water. Running shallow water. I was making a joke and you still did it. Lol

I have road in he 20 foot model and its has a great rough water ride due to the dead rise and "V" design continues to the seats. . I have a new 520C and the Vexus rigged the same is about 3miles an hour slower. It's a different ride and little heavier. I bought ranger for fishing not 80 Plus mph as I have had that, light boats blow around. I wonder what the weight difference is between your 520C and the Vexus 20? ....I get that the V costs some speed, just wondering how much as weight plays into it also. With Vexus new Infusion process i would bet the weight is about the same, with infusion you can build it lighter and stronger.

Those Caymas boats look sharp! There are only 8,000 new fiberglass bass boats sold each year. Great to see some new manufactures entering the market. Hopefully that'll help put some downward pressure on price.
