Research 2018 - Vexus - AVX189

From bass and crappie to a host of panfish and more, now it's even easier to confidently corner everything on the water. Not only does the AVX189 deliver exceptional quality, comfort, and performance, it does it all without compromising your budget. Measuring just over 18 1/2 feet in length, the 189 is ideally sized, making it easy to launch, load, maneuver, and tow.


The revolutionary design rides on an all-new, high performance pad hull with an increased deadrise for an exceptionally smooth, dry, and responsive ride. Start to finish, it's a commitment to advanced engineering that's reinforced with the added strength of our Vector Force transom and Dense Base hull construction. The roomy forward deck of the 189 includes a factory-rigged Minn Kota Fortrex. Also up front, a huge, 8-foot center rod box is surrounded by a pair of cavernous storages. Each is equipped with stainless steel compression latches, raised lip dams, and weather trim seals. It's a wet-weather system specifically designed to help put the 'dry' back in aluminum boat dry storage.

In the cockpit, instrumentation and electronics are highlighted by speed, tach, fuel, trim, and water pressure gauges along with a host of sealed, lit-tip toggle switches. Fiberglass-infused components – like the custom console with finished lower radiuses, contour-fitted side panel, reinforced gear storage, insulated cooler, and tournament-ready livewell – permeate the roomy layout.

Centering the rear deck, the fiberglass well offers even more best-in-class features. Equipped with recirculating aeration, an auto fill valve (no leaky standpipe to set and remove), pump-out, and anti-splash ring, the feature-rich 189 is loaded with confidence. Even the storages surrounding the rear well are set apart from the crowd. These solid, gel-coated compartments aren't just larger, they're encased in foam, making them noticeably stronger and more structurally integrated than the typical, thin-walled plastic drop-ins found in other designs. Additional advantages include a larger fuel tank, two-tone Hard Case paint, performance-styled seating, and a precision-matched trailer. Combined with the ultra-solid feel and sound-dampening benefits of our upright, level foam flotation, this is the AVX189. With so many standard features, it's an unparalleled rig, Built to Perform and Priced to Move!
