Vexus VX20 Rough Water Okeechobee Run 

cameras don't do justice. if u look at the very end of the frame towards the end they are 2.5 on average for the biggest waves I'd say. still not a rough test though being I live on erie.

It's a nice boat but it only hit about 70 mph. That's not very fast

Heath Fitzgerald you need to know your role and shut your mouth. Don’t Throw shade on things you can’t afford

@@bigbeef8935 i can afford it and 70 isnt very fast. Also no rough water in this vid. Nice boat though.

It's a bass boat. It's interesting to see bass boats get deeper and deeper. Pretty soon, there will be no difference other than top cap layout.

@NytronX I know.... I was kidding...that boat is super deep. I seen one at a dealer by me and it is like a hybrid

Nytron thanks for watching the video. I can’t speak for a champion but I’ve been in a lot of Phoenix boats and this is significantly better rough water ride. Phoenix has it in overall speed but the air ride seats in the Vexus are really something you need to experience.

here in Ohio a guy has a Phoenix I fish wish occasionally and my 2180 is hands down superior. Especially in chop

@@bigbeef8935 Hmm, what model Phoenix specifically? I'd think the Phoenix would be slightly better in rougher water than the aluminum Vexus models, but maybe not.

Phoenix is superb riding boat.

I disagree. Bass boat & I might agree. Any deep-v could haul butt on a 1-2' chop that's in the 20' range (I own a 20' deep-v- 3 footers are no biggey, not comfortable but def no biggey)

pcw67427 thanks for watching and the comment. I wanted the 20 cause I didn’t want a 21. The VX 20 is nearly 21 ft long at 20-10”. This boat is one of first prototypes Vexus built. It’s resin rich and heavier then the production boats. 70-72 is the best I can get out of this one. The afternoon run back we left out of tin house and ran behind Kings bar so it was mostly protected. We were 55-60 on the way back. Let me know if you have anymore questions.

Kyle, Thnx for replying & the extra info, & your welcome. Would love to be able to run that mph in chop like that. I wouldn't hesitate to make long runs on Okeechobee, or any other large body of water, worrying about the weather kicking up on me. I've got an (18'r) & look forward to a longer bass boat when I buy a new 1. I realize the 20 is actually almost (21') & the 21 actually almost (22'). I'm leaning toward the 21 for the extra (4') in length & the extra day box compartment in front of the drivers console. But wonder if the extra (1') would more of hindrance, then a help for a bass boat. Do you know any1 w/ the 21, if so have they've said 1 way or the other concerning the extra length? Obviously if some1 were keeping it in a garage the extra foot could present a problem w/ fitting it in there. Also, the older I get the worse my back is getting. I got to imagine the air ride pedestals make a big difference in those conditions? If & when U get more videos out running it please post them. Thnx again, Paul

Hey Paul I don’t know anyone that has a 21. The day box would be a nice touch and the air ride seats are incredible. Really impressive and noticed by everyone that has gotten into my boat. You honestly won’t go wrong with either choice.

Kyle, Thnx for responding back to me again. Can't wait till I'm able buy 1. Paul

Thanks for the feedback. Ill keep that in mind for my next one.

It’s a bass tournament, getting to your spot first can make the difference between the win or not. If you got the fast boat use it pass as many as you can.

@@buddtwin2 Definitely not disputing that it can make a difference. But, I will say that I get a kick outa an aluminum guy with minimal horsepower coming into weigh in and kicking everyone’s tail! Lol

With a tourney load, I could get her up to 72. This was their first full proto boat so I know it was resin rich and heavier then their production boats. Ive heard their production boats are running 74-75 mph.

@@kgfishing1 If your ever in sc or ga Look me up.. team of year last 3 why it's simple time time on water and mostly leave rods home and put bucks with cane 7 to 10 feet cane piles off points drops offs so on... Murray I put out about 36 Clark's hill 70 plus piles in 3 years... anyway fishing in my book is 90% luck and 8% time time spent on water... 2% skill

Latter---that ain't no 30 mph wind

You got that right, been on the St Lawrence in rough water....it was scary....couldn't imagine what it could be like out on Lake Ontario....haven't been up to the St Lawrence in 20 years....can't even begin to tell you how much I miss it.

Ontario, Lake George, Oneida, Black Lake, the Hudson with a straight on north wind, Saratoga, Champlain....and counting.. Happy Fishing!! :) :)

@@finmanpoozie4756 the Hudson can get downright nasty with that north wind trying to push that current back😲

@@smallmouthfreaks7609 Yes indeed! I'm a river novice & I've been on it with some nasty north winds in the Rinecliff Bridge area @Kingston. I haven't experienced any south winds yet though (noob on it still)
