Why We're Different

Vexus® V2 Technology

By incorporating numerous design and manufacturing improvements, we’ve raised the bar in aluminum fishing boats—giving you more room, more strength, and more consistent performance on the water. From the computer-modeled lifting strakes to the integrated spray rails to the additional width at the bow, this next generation of Vexus® boats is ready to excel every time you back one down the ramp.

Beam-Forward Design

The Beam-Forward design of your ADX model works to maximize space, comfort, and convenience while also delivering an incredibly smooth, dry ride. With greater deadrise and a deeper hull, virtually every area of the boat benefits with more deck, floor, cockpit, and storage space.

SeaStar™ Pro Hydraulic Steering

The fluid feel of SeaStar™ Pro hydraulic steering reinforces the smooth ride and responsive handling of this deep vee design.

High-Density Polyethylene Flooring

Ultra-durable, easy-to-clean, skid-resistant, and fast-drying… that’s the smooth, custom feel of our high-density polyethylene flooring. You’ll find it throughout the cockpit as well as on the front and rear decks. It’s an incredible water-wicking material, helping quickly shed moisture while transforming your entire rig into the ultimate fish & play station.

Hard Case™ Paint with Clearcoat Protection

This new-era, color armor is unrivaled; setting the highest standards for durability, shine, strength, and worry-free maintenance. Plus, it’s a hands-down winner in chemical, gas, scratch, impact, and even salt spray resistance tests. Bow to stern, this performance-proven process means your rig is built to turn heads on and off the water.

Automotive-Style Windshield Mounted to Firm-Set™ Pillars

Wherever you go, water commands respect. It’s why you won’t find our automotive-style windshields mounted on flimsy consoles that can shift like sand. Instead, ADX windshields are tied directly to the deck superstructure. It’s a firm foundation allowing the windshield and frame to function as one unit. Ultimately, the entire design is built for superior strength and rigidity, helping everything stay secure, stable, and aligned.

Molded Fiberglass Jump Seats with Under-Seat Storage

Insulated and weather-sealed, the extra, under-seat storage and Cold Spot™ cooler are even more examples of the extreme versatility built into this design.

Tournament-Grade, Fiberglass Aerated Livewell

This tour-level, rear well is equipped with recirculating aeration, anti-splash ring, and a pump-out system.

Infused Fiberglass Console, Livewell, Baitwell, Cooler, and Jump Seats

Touting the smooth, stylish looks and unparalleled, lightweight strength of our Infused Composite Construction™, your ADX180 is complemented with infused fiberglass consoles, livewell, baitwell, jump seats, and cooler. Bow to stern, it’s a new generation of advanced engineering

Available Advanced Electronics at Helm & Bow

By optimizing space throughout the ADX design, we’ve created a world of room for mounting large, state-of-the-art electronics at both the driver’s console and bow.

Aerated Front Baitwell

The forward baitwell is equipped with tour-level aeration, weather-seal trim, painted lid bottom, and quick drain features.

Easy Access Battery Storage

Close at hand, the spacious battery compartment is not only easy to access but centered for optimal balance and total performance.

Cold Spot™ Cooler Under Starboard Jump Seat

Our exclusive Cold Spot™ cooler helps keep a long-lasting, polar chill on drinks and snacks. Plus, the under-seat storage makes it convenient to access and doesn’t take up valuable space underfoot.

Storage Under Consoles for Tackle Boxes and Litter Bag

Packed with storage, the ADX180 has even more room for tackle boxes under each of the consoles. The handy, slam-latch compartments are also built to accept plastic litter bags. Inside and out, it’s a layout intent on making the most of your time on the water.

Keel-Mounted Fuel System with Lower Center of Gravity

Your ADX is engineered with a deeper hull and longitudinal fuel tank positioned beneath the floor. The lower center of gravity is combined with raised lifting strakes to deliver confident, responsive handling.

All-Welded ADX High Performance Hull

This performance-enhanced design not only includes water-gripping strakes for more responsive handling and a far superior ride but also features keel-forward engineering, increased bow flare, secondary spray rails, and a lower center of gravity. It’s performance-proven confidence built for big fish and big times on the water.
