Only thing I don't like about the picklefork front is that brush is gonna get hung up

great hole shot/great ride in plane/ why not an "adjustable seat height" push button on the dash type? I'd sit at the top of the capt seat when cruising/drop down and buckle up for takes her to the limit? A seat adjust that could accomadate that would be cuuu

Sick boats 4 sure.. love the videos, BTW

Just rode in one yesterday absolutely sick AF!!!

Midge Barker - 5 years ago

I was shopping in 1994 for Bass Boats and they were going for 19k to 28k for top of the line new rigs. I thought that was high then. Now look at the prices. Nice Vexus Boat but I'm interested in the Aluminum.

Cameron Phipps - 5 years ago

Didn’t these boats start out as budget boats?

Bob Morris - 5 years ago

I dont think it has enough rod storage...thanks anyways

Don Berry - 5 years ago

My Storm had 200hp. And a old guy walked up to me at the dock and said is this a bass boat "yep I said" and he said I didn't know Bass were that fast.

Build em cheaper, sell em for more.
Every year the same old thing.

Nothing new here. Just more shit to go catch a few fish! Supposed to be fun. Not a fashion statement.

Rides great. The water was glass a jon boat owner would have said the same....

TheBaitmanTV - 5 years ago

wejruf25 nah it wasn’t

dlefeb67 - 5 years ago

Its a fine rig for sure. So far my only dis-likes, or disappointment would be, Painted in lieu of gelcoat. It WILL NOT be as durable or tough as gel coat. Period. Paint will be easier to touch up. The massive handrail. The solid color. No design, stripe, or two tone in any way??? Really?? That's about it. Many things I like about it, and time will tell of its durability!

GregK9 - 5 years ago

How much $$ for a new key fob when you loose it? Ridiculous! Get me a key I can replace for a couple bucks, a slot, stick it in, turn it and go.

styxman65 - 5 years ago

good vid.but man please trim up your beard, lol

TheBaitmanTV - 5 years ago

I shaved it off

hillary clinton - 5 years ago

Cool but what happens when you crack your hull(6ft waves) Will vexus replace it for free? I know ranger does. For the amount these cost I hope they will.

04 Triton - 5 years ago

whats the price tag on one of these? did i miss it?

Ej Zabojnik - 5 years ago

Hey Baitman, if you can afford a Vexus boat you should consider going to a barber to shape up your beard. SERIOUSLY

TheBaitmanTV - 5 years ago

Ej Zabojnik I shaved it all off. And I can’t afford a Vexus as stated.

one problem mounting the power poles to the transom is way to much stress on the transom i would give the transom 2 years before it cracks or starts having to much stress but great boat over all

Fantastic review. I've owned Gambler and Ranger. Vexus did a fine job on this. Thanks.

TheBaitmanTV - 5 years ago

Thanks. They made a fine boat

Sandy Mitchell - 5 years ago

whats a sound wave thingy??? lord fishing has changed since my days of boating and fishing

Sandy Mitchell - 5 years ago

DANG IT!! thats one awesome boat, my dad had a ranger i owned a astro,wow have things changed. I hate that the prices of everything has put normals guys like me, and iam sure many others out of the market due to priceing. its a shame that all the things a comman man would do has now become a extravagant luxury, to buy a nice truck and bass boat now cost $ 120 to even $200K to go fishing. if i knew this i would have kept my 98 pickup and 95 bass boat! because i sure cant buy a rig that cost more then my home

Jeff Hankins - 5 years ago

I wanted to see the Vexus boat, not 7 adds. I understand you make money with the adds, but 7 adds in one video is ridiculous, therefor I must give a thumbs down.

TheBaitmanTV - 5 years ago

You can skip the adds no need for explanation

tbone116 - 5 years ago

That boat is mil-spec.

Well put together boat... Not quite as well put together as a BIG O though!

TheBaitmanTV - 5 years ago

tbone116 lol. Yeah I learned to Ledge fish without a gps or side scan. Crazy

tbone116 - 5 years ago

@TheBaitmanTV Haters going to hate. Cell phones were not even a thing when my boat was made. Some how I manage to talk on my cell in my boat.

TheBaitmanTV - 5 years ago

KILLINTIME not sure why you care. Don’t you love basscata

KILLINTIME - 5 years ago

ok, watched about 5 minutes... until I noticed for $80K+ you don't get finger tip trim and jack plate lift controls. Really? didn't anyone stop long enough to make sure the steering column would take THmarine aftermarket controls or better yet, design them in, in the first place???? Also, show us a water checkout in 2-3 footers, if you want to demo the hydraulic seats...

Basscat for life, all others are just chasing. IMO.

Duane Theimer - 5 years ago

Alot of $$$ to hook a fish plus the wheels to pull it.

Jim Nickerson - 5 years ago

Another fibre glass bass boat.I did not see anything that would make it revoluniary.More hype than necessary.

BB Cop - 5 years ago

Jim Nickerson I agree, wonder why they went back to fiberglass on this boat and not the new “alumaglass”? I know most fiberglass damage can be repaired but haven’t heard anything about how the alumna glass is repaired. Maybe I’m missing it, but here on YouTube the only aluminum boat repair I find is welding up holes and rivets. =):}

Rob Carey - 5 years ago

It's a sweet rig no doubt...but

The paint vs gelcoat is dull. At 80K I would want it to shine and have the flake.

Why did the use unplated hardware on the windscreen? Should have been powder coated to match tint.

The side badge is ugly and the handrails take away from a sleek fast look.

I'd love one though haha

Monroe50 - 5 years ago

this and that reviews Dude where you looking at boats....I’m in Ga and can get a 21’ Ranger Turny ready with a Merc 250 for $75,000.

Rich Lindgren - 5 years ago

It's like a Battle Ship!

Tennessee Jeff - 5 years ago

You bass fisherman need a system for accurately measuring and weighing your fish so you can release them immediately. No need to haul fish all over the lake in a box all day then release them 20 miles from their homes! We’re almost to 2020, surely we can come up with video evidence (proof) of your catches? Instead of a live well system how about several video recording devices and high end scales with black box style recording? Then you catch and release almost instantly! Catch more fish and easier on them too! At the weigh ends the official unlocks your SD cards and plays your videos instead of weighing your fish.

Tennessee Jeff - 5 years ago

TheBaitmanTV hell yes!! That’s what I’m talking about. Didn’t know that existed. That’s awesome!!!

Tennessee Jeff - 5 years ago

TheBaitmanTV no but I will check it out now.

TheBaitmanTV - 5 years ago

Tennessee Jeff have you seen Major League Fishing? That’s he future

compared to my skeeter fx20... i like the live wells better, striker plates are a nice touch. has compartments seals. pedestal seats are a great detail, imagine all the stuff you can stick under those seats.
details are better it seems

Their warranty sucks

Jim Acre - 5 years ago

Cool..cool

hometownguy71 - 5 years ago

bass boat prices have become nothing short of retarded!the boat makers are isoating the average american.70-90k is ridiculous!if somebody sold a 18.5 ft glass boat with a 150 for 25k,..maybe 28 with bells and whistles,they would be sold out!im old though,ill go be poor somewhere else.

Randy Brandes - 5 years ago

An old ranger, or Skeeter, or champ, or nitro, or anything else that's not 90 k will catch just as many fish

TheBaitmanTV - 5 years ago

Randy Brandes so are you saying you won’t catch fish because it’s 90k?

I agree with your sentiment but some anglers want a better ride and bells and whistles. If you can afford it go for it

Monroe50 - 5 years ago

Ryan Yea but your still in the $50,000 range. Heck a new truck and boats going to put you in a new house range almost!

Phillip Raymo - 5 years ago

I like over kill

Ryan - 5 years ago

TheBaitmanTV The early one’s sucked. They have come a long way. I have a 2019 Z21. The boat rides like a dream and honestly is overkill.

TheBaitmanTV - 5 years ago

Ryan my back is still suffering from riding in a nitro from 2003-2006

Steven Bates - 5 years ago

Short answer to the question.... No. Vexus had great ideas. Almost pulled it off. But it's ugly and several functions will look bad over time.
I will keep my Bass Cat and pass every Vexus (and Ranger) owner I see.

GregK9 - 5 years ago

@Steven Bates - 70 MPH with a 150? Bullshit!

Steven Bates - 5 years ago

@Parker Stewart My Sabre will run near 70 MPH with a 150 and very little Chine walk..... maybe you rode with someone who can't drive. But yes they are a pretty boat. BCB is best rig out there.... just my opinion.

Phillip Raymo - 5 years ago

Opinions vary

Parker Stewart - 5 years ago

But have the worst chine walk and worst layout in the industry okay..... luckily bass cats are the prettiest boats

Brandon 5799 - 5 years ago

It’s still not a Champion!! There’s a reason other manufacturers have used their hull designs and why they still cost premium $$ after all these years. I’ll never get rid of mine

tbone116 - 5 years ago

I feel ya. I run a old 1998 Hydra Sports. The only original thing on the boat is the haul and trailer. lol I bought it new and will be buried in it.

Tim Russell - 5 years ago

I just traded my 2018 Ranger Z521L Anniversary Edition for this boat. My Ranger wasn’t worth the money I paid. These guys know what they are doing. The hull design, seat shocks and live well system got me. The small details are so well thought out. I am fortunate enough to be able to afford this boat and I wanted these things for as much time as I am on the water. I've been to the Ranger facility in Flippin, Ark. It is a mess to say the least. I am sure the new Vexus facility in Flippin will draw a lot of the talented employees away from Ranger for a much improved working environment.

04 Triton - 5 years ago

rumor has it, a few guys that worked for ranger formed this company.

Tim W - 5 years ago

scarecrow - 5 years ago

Who ever designed this boat is brilliant. That is one great rig.

mbwfreedom - 5 years ago

Really looks like a quality boat. Im impressed and have been shopping for a new boat. I think after seeing the price tag of it ... I will go with a Skeeter.

TheBaitmanTV - 5 years ago

mbwfreedom I had a zx225 from 06-2012. Not a single complaint. Loved it. Sold cuz life happens.

mbwfreedom - 5 years ago

Im not arguing the quality of the vexus vx. Its there, Ive seen them first hand. Im going for a skeeter zx250. Its a nice boat, maybe not all what a vexus is, but its nearly $25k cheaper. All brands of bass boats have increased in price tremendously in recent years. So a new bass boat company coming out with another higher priced bass boat , I feel is pulling farther away from the working man, market wise. Once again love the vexus, but out of most our affordability range.

TheBaitmanTV - 5 years ago

mbwfreedom Go fins the deluxe model skeeter that’s 21ft and add the whole works to it. It’s more than a Vexus

Dustin Pitts - 5 years ago

Pulling it out of the mold then painting it, scares me, all the fiberglass hoods and fenders fade and chip quickly, so time will tell but for now stick with my Skeeter till we see how they handle age and sunlight and hot temps here in the south;;;;;;;

Dustin Pitts - 5 years ago

@billy boy I guess I'm old school I like a little flake and some shine in my boat, I just love the sparkle shine;;;;;

billy boy - 5 years ago

Agree I’m wondering The same thing I almost think they have tried to fix to many things that are not broken just because Jonny Morris bought them out and what really worries me is they designed and started building them in just a few months so drop almost 100k with that much new not time tested changes

trey brafford - 5 years ago

I’ll stick with my Phoenix

Trutexasbass - 5 years ago

Take it out in rough water instead of rolling in tiny waves and talking about how smooth the boat is.

billy boy - 5 years ago

I don’t think there is such a thing as a bass boat riding smooth in rough water nor is there a dry bass boat when the waves are really rolling and are hitting at a side angle but I will say I have wondered for years why they have not tried to put some kind of shocks in the seats I think they are really onto something with that

Cerus98 - 5 years ago

TheBaitmanTV - I’ve seen plenty of videos of boats being tested on rough water. They seem to be able to film just fine.

And no one cares about audio on a rough water demo. They want to see how smooth it rides.

TheBaitmanTV - 5 years ago

Trutexasbass have you tried filming anything in rough water regardless of boat? Thank how crappy the audio and videography would be.

Also, only had one chance to shoot this so couldn’t pick the water.

Matt Judy - 5 years ago

Wish they would lead with the price.

Matt Judy - 5 years ago

TheBaitmanTV I'm with you. I'll stick with the $60k or less range.... And really that's still ridiculous lol

TheBaitmanTV - 5 years ago

I am not spending that in a boat. But unfortunately there are a lot of people willing to initial for a 30 year loan.

Personally the boat is awesome. It’s def the nicest rig I’ve been in. I can’t afford it.

Matt Judy - 5 years ago

TheBaitmanTV I 100% agree with you but not very many brands sell them that high. You can make them all 100k but very few will be sold. Nice boat though I like the features.

TheBaitmanTV - 5 years ago

Won’t stop Ranger and other brands from selling. They aren’t the only ones with 90k dollar boats

TheBaitmanTV - 5 years ago

Matt Judy around 92k

Jeremy Farmer - 5 years ago

Don't think the lights are legal? In Tennessee they have to be higher than the motor and trolling motor! Rub rail lights are not legal neither!!

TheBaitmanTV - 5 years ago

Hmm that’s interesting

spencer s - 5 years ago

Why would you have rod covers and not reel covers. Protect those reels from boat rash.

spencer s - 5 years ago

Daiwa and Shimano are quality reels but get scratched up if they bounce against each other.

TheBaitmanTV - 5 years ago

Because I use Daiwa and Shimano

Tom Mahoney - 5 years ago

The one thing that I can not find an answer to is what was the top speed?

TheBaitmanTV - 5 years ago

Tom Mahoney I have said in the comments 72-73mph

Andrew Hensen - 5 years ago

Nice boat but I’ll still be getting a Phoenix or skeeter. As far as how much room it doesn’t seem to have more than Phoenix. I’m also looking at an 18 or 19 foot boat and the vexusacks on horsepower rating

trey brafford - 5 years ago

Andrew Hensen the 919 proxp is one hell of a tournament rig. Get into tight spots and still outrun 90% of the boats with 250’s

Andrew Hensen - 5 years ago

TheBaitmanTV that boat has some nice features but for all it was talked up it’s not that impressive. How much square feet of storage does the vx21 have?

Andrew Hensen - 5 years ago

trey brafford that is plenty fast for where I fish. I like the 19’ size. Not too many companies make a 19’ boat that are good tournament rigs.

trey brafford - 5 years ago

If you’re looking for a 19 foot boat a phoenix 919 proxp is the ticket, I have one. Its fast (74-76) and fishes extremely well

TheBaitmanTV - 5 years ago

Andrew Hensen trust me. The VX21 is way more roomier than a Phoenix. However we are also comparing a 18-19ft boat to in that is almost 22ft.

I like birds

TheBaitmanTV - 5 years ago

alan fetta No clue! Lots of guys out there have signed their life away on worse boats .. and I agree. Like I said I can’t afford it. I also can’t afford a kayak. I think you’ll be surprised.

1234 _8314 - 5 years ago

The tie down strap for the rod on deck isn't doing its job. Way too loose @ 3:10 start watching. Other than that nice boat

1234 _8314 - 5 years ago

@TheBaitmanTV they manufacture of vexus say it stays down tight which isn't the case. Never said rod moved

TheBaitmanTV - 5 years ago

1234 _8314 rod didn’t go in the drink. Did it’s just fine. Rod never moved either.

Bassslayer118 - 5 years ago

He wants to talk about how "innovative" they are but for someone who knows their boats they have copied alot of stuff.

TheBaitmanTV - 5 years ago

TheBaitmanTV - 5 years ago

Bassslayer118 Is assume since one of the founders is forest l woods grandson and many of the guys are former ranger employees that there is some cross over. But I’m not sure what is and isn’t a “copy” there is certainly a lot of unique stuff I haven’t seen and I’ve been in a lot of boats.

Ej Zabojnik - 5 years ago

Not enough tackle storage for me in that boat. My BassCat holds a lot of tackle.

TheBaitmanTV - 5 years ago

Ej Zabojnik that is true. That was not my tackle nor bend FYI. That was the reps. I could load up about 15 bass mafia money bags easily. My tackle game is strong lol.

I think you’d need some nice rod sleeves. Thanks for watching!

Ej Zabojnik - 5 years ago

@TheBaitmanTV I guess it really depends on how you fish. I like to use several different techniques not just one. I did not see any crank bait boxes in the boat, just a few small bags of tackle. I guess that would be fine if you just fish one or two techniques for catching fish and that is fine for you, its just not enough for me, for the way I like to fish. Although you did have over 25 rods in the boat and if you had every one already rigged up then you wouldn't need tackle space. I did not like the rod box without rod holders. I can see a potential tangled mess with 20 rods in one box banging against each other especially if it is windy out. Hey what it boils down to is what each one of us either like or dislike about whatever.....boats, tackle, techniques, tow vehicles..etc. Personal preference.

TheBaitmanTV - 5 years ago

Ej Zabojnik I would disagree. It has plenty. Then again how much do you really need? I have always been guilty of taking way too much

Saying that I’m a big triton fan but some of their older models you really had to drive. Very interested in Earls new boat the Caymus

Dave Dangles - 5 years ago

36 minutes to answer the question, and that answer is “no”.

Ej Zabojnik - 5 years ago

I agree. I do not like the storage compartment up front without rod holders. You would get a tangled mess not to mention all the rod and reels banging around on each other. I also did not like the way the pedestal driver seat moved around so much while he was sitting in it. It did not look very stable and could cause issues over time with that much movement if you plan on keeping the boat long term. If you trade out boats every year then it is a non issue for you. I also did not care for the "flow through" windshield. Think about the terms....Wind shield, flow through. A windshield is there to block the wind. He also kept saying other boats do not have what this one has. He needs to go look at more boats. I did like the way they did the nose of the boat but that is not enough for me to want one.

maybe one day they will make bass boats that don't cost as much as a house in tennessee. Your average people can't afford anything close to these boats.

Don Berry - 5 years ago

There are lots of them on the water.

TheBaitmanTV - 5 years ago

Love that AVX

Lurloc - 5 years ago

I agree, glass boats are super expensive. Hell now a days the tin rigs are just as nice as the glass boats. I have an AVX 1880 and wouldn't trade it in for a glass boat. I have all the comforts of a glass and use less fuel and can bang around stuff and not feel terrible about it. Sure im not gonna win any speed challenges or fish under extreme weather conditions but aluminum boats with much nicer comforts are finding its niche in the market. Happy fishing!@EverForward Fishing

EverForward Fishing - 5 years ago

I’m firm believer that day will never come these boat prices now days are outrageous and they don’t seem to be getting any cheaper or practical for your average income household. But some people have it and some don’t I’ll just continue to be happy with my 16’ tin rig and maybe some day I’ll be financially able to have a nice glass boat. None the less beautiful boat just seems more like a rich mans corvette of boats then an actual fishing machine buts that’s just my opinion.

TheBaitmanTV - 5 years ago

It’s amazing I can buy a house for less than some of these boats and it’s not just Vexus

hillary clinton - 5 years ago

Copied ranger, deck layout is the exact same. Not worth the extra $ especially since their not tested.Nice boat though

Out Fishing Your Bass - 5 years ago

It is made by ranger engineers lol

chase cole - 5 years ago

It’s a ranger clone retired and current ranger employees left ranger to form Vexus boats

TheBaitmanTV - 5 years ago

Lol

You do know these are the guys that made ranger what they were. They didn’t copy anything. I mean let’s be honest how many different ways are you going to layout the front of the boat

hillary clinton - 5 years ago

TheBaitmanTV well just know that when I see a vexus half sunken and in need of a tow. I certainly won’t stop.

Jonathan Wojak - 5 years ago

love the idea love the look but the price come on its a unproven NEW boat and 90K FOR A TOURNEY READY RIG!!!!!! COME ON !!!!! PRICED ME RIGHT TO A TRITON OR PHEONIX.

joshua lee - 5 years ago

@TheBaitmanTV i ammm their site doesnt push that... only 39 plus? for 21 foor model thats 20'7 inches i think???!?!?!?! no way that is 90k.......and if it was thats crazy... i can get with a skeeter intergrated lights n a air system that dries inside the lockers.... idk man i like vexus boats n all i want one but i want a really custom one i doubt they will do,...

TheBaitmanTV - 5 years ago

joshua lee you’re confusing the aluminum model with the new Fiberglass Model

joshua lee - 5 years ago

uhhhhh 90k for a vexus? never seen that ever even if u build it on their own site...

and there is a flw bass pro that uses a vexus... seen it on some vlog idk if it was david dudleys or scott martins tho....

TheBaitmanTV - 5 years ago

The good thing @jonathan Wojak is Malone’s Marine is one of the biggest and best Triton dealers in the country. Ben would be glad to get you in a Triton. He has a great TR21X Patriot he’d make a deal on now

galada52 - 5 years ago

Love their aluminum line, specially the 2080 but the fiberglass...Not so much. Great video of the boat but solidifies my decision that their fiberglass WILL NOT be on my list of next boat.

@TheBaitmanTV looking forward to that walk thru. Thanks!!!

Big Fan of the 2080. Going to do a walk thru that very soon. Thx for watching

Danny Peter - 5 years ago

Wonder if those handle bars on the sides would get in the way when skipping?

Brandon Mahaffey - 5 years ago

What if the operator is thrown with the key fob in his pocket and needs to be recovered. Can this feature be overridden to allow others on the boat to get him back on board?

Danny Peter - 5 years ago

@TheBaitmanTV I am a boater and a co (if needed) in my club and from the co angler side, I am thinking I would hit the bar when I am trying to skip. I am not the best skipper so maybe that's not a fair assessment. Personally, for me, it is a slight concern, especially on these Coosa dock lakes.

TheBaitmanTV - 5 years ago

Danny Peter nah. That deck is really big and that’s also where that pickled front end would come into play

codfishing180 - 5 years ago

That thing is smooooooooove you can tell by the way that rod was sitting on the deck. When you were up on plane very nice boat that it the BMW OF BOATS are they going to get some to Australia? if or not. Just curious what's one worth?

@TheBaitmanTV FISHHOG I guess the only way to change out Bilgr pump when it goes out, and it will, will be to take to dealer right? The bilge area is covered up with nothing visible! What about the drain plug?

Buck Shot - 5 years ago

@RIPPER334 I'm 6'1" and 245. I've owned a few. First was an Astro second was a Laser third was a 90 Allison. I sold it in 2010 to purchase a used Storm which I still have. 3 years ago the I bought the Bullet but almost bought a Bumble Bee. I fish the northeast like the Potamac and the Gun powder rivers,Delaware River and Susquehanna Flats. Mostly I fish Gunthersville and the Tennesee River/Lake system like Chickamauga and Watts Bar. Kentucky lake in the spring and Ufala Alabama in the fall and Okeechobee and St. Lawrence Rivers in the winter along with running off shore out of Islamorada for extra cash. I like fishing... Alot

RIPPER334 - 5 years ago

@Buck Shot it's ok little fella. When you grow up, everything you read on YouTube won't hurt your feelers... And you won't have to result to name calling when you run out of any type of relevant argument.... And dirty words won't cause you grief.

So... now I'm curious. How many boats have you owned junior?

Buck Shot - 5 years ago

@RIPPER334 We got swear words!! You belittle and swear at anyone with a different opinion. That's a butthurt snowflake sorry. Go get your nails done woman

RIPPER334 - 5 years ago

@TheBaitmanTV I'm not "into it"... I've just owned one bullet, and three Allison's in my 54 years of boating. And anyone who thinks that a bullet beats an Allison craft at anything, is reading off Q-cards...

@RIPPER334 You sound like a liberal snowflake. Yeah ok. I know you are but what am I. Dodo head. Ha ha ha Redneck raceboat

RIPPER334 - 5 years ago

@Buck Shot like I said... Yeah. Ok.

Buck Shot - 5 years ago

@RIPPER334 Oh yeah I never have. You would know wouldn't you. Allison hauls use kevlar reinforced laminate. Other boats hauls of say 19 to 20ft are 1400 to 1650lbs where Allison hauls are 900lbs. 150hp can push a 18ft Allison into the 70's with alot less fuel. Light bumpy you will feel EVERYTHING on that water. Nah no experience with them. Nice boats yes nice ride NO.

Buck Shot - 5 years ago

@RIPPER334 I've fished out of a few Allison's. Light and fast is all they are. Other then that nothing special. They are pure lake boats. Put a little chop on the water and those Allisons turn into Rangers quick lol

RIPPER334 - 5 years ago

@Buck Shot you've never seen an Allison up close if you chose bullet...

Buck Shot - 5 years ago

Bullet. None other

RIPPER334 - 5 years ago

@TheBaitmanTV Yep... The ranger is also more boat. It will also bring more when you trade... even the aluminum Vexus boats don't hold their value... like ranger... And if you pay more than double that price for glass, you'll really lose your ass when you trade or sell.

That said, I wouldn't spend 90 grand on a ranger either.

...at that price point, it's Allison... or just go buy a 40k Nitro.

TheBaitmanTV - 5 years ago

RIPPER334 A fully rigged 521L Ranger is more. Allison’s are nice boats super fast underrated ride

Got my AVX 1880 home yesterday! Took it out and man is it a smooth boat! Fell in love with it the first 15 mins. Love the brand and the quality and details.

mmilliff1011 - 5 years ago

I've got the 1880 as well and I absolutely love it. Best boat I've ever owned. If you are on the fence about buying one do it. You'll never regret it.

Jacob Rosman - 5 years ago

Midge Barker, I was very impressed with the stability of the front platform. It has a very spacious front and how they did the foam in every nook and cranny and having the gas in the middle of the boat. It just feels very well balanced and I’m extremely confident and comfortable up front even with 2 anglers up there. I had a 18” bass tracker before this boat and there is no comparison. It does not feel like a aluminum boat. I also took out the 2019 ranger 198P and the 1880 blew it away... it made my decision very easy.

TheBaitmanTV - 5 years ago

Midge Barker when I was in the 1880 it had very little lean. You need to ride in one

Midge Barker - 5 years ago

Love the looks of the 1880. My only question I have is how level is the fishing platform? Does it lean like other Aluminum brands from the past? I Crappie fish 98% of the time. The 1880 would be perfect for what I do. It looks like you did your homework with your Research. I wish You Many years of Gr8 Fishing in your New Rig!!!

Nick Cavazos - 5 years ago

You can tell years of dealing with issues and building boats from multiple anglers went into designing every aspect of that boat. Nothing is perfect but I can't find anything I would change. Hopefully one day I can fish out of one.

Just seems like such a heavy boat. Saw one at the classic and it seems to me might've tried to do too much in one boat. Just my thoughts, love the aluminum's but I think this one missed the spot.

Adam Freeman - 5 years ago

If you want a fast boat get a bass cat. This one is more like a Cadillac

TheBaitmanTV - 5 years ago

Tucker Cory that’s what I thought till I rode in it. Can’t catch any fish going 76mph anyways. It’s stupid stable.

Best season I ever had was in a Triton that wouldn’t run 70mph
