[QUOTE]Windy City - 2/13/2020  6:44 PM

I watched Vexus closely for 2 years since they announced their coming to market. I was considering their multi species boat but once all the specs were out it just didn't meet what I was looking for.

Builders all use the same few suppliers for components. There are only 2 major factors that separate manufactures of fiberglass boats for the most part, design and rigging. By rigging I mostly mean wiring. Some builders have wiring that looks like a 12 year old did it and others go the extra mile to do a clean, organized job with all the proper fuse blocks, connectors, terminals, wiring sizing, etc. There are other items such as mechanical fasteners used, through bolting of some items VS screwing, countersinking screw or other holes before drilling, backer plates, foam fill with proper drainage, etc.

It all starts with design. If the boat doesn't work for the buyer by design, it doesn't matter much if it is assembled correctly. Some people buy without knowing what they want for design if they haven't yet experienced it, others think a design element is good only because they have never experienced anything else.

Some buy simply on aesthetics.

Either way Vexus is here to stay and already establishing themselves in the market. Their first market concern is the traditional bass boat (design style) market as it's market share is larger then multi species designs.

Once they have invested enough capitol into advertising, I am sure they will be a common name too. They just have to hand over enough discounted boats to "pro fisherman" and slather their name all over Bass tournaments, won't be long.[/QUOTE]
