2026 Vexus AVX 1880 

About This Model

Built Right and Born Ready™. That’s the V2-inspired AVX1880. What’s so different about this 18’ 10” precision-built design? Beyond the slot-car-like handling, instant hole shots, focused stability, and ease of trailering, this all-welded machine is engineered to give you more room to run... on and off plane. Inside and out, the advantages are striking. Even at a glance, it’s easy to see the front deck is huge, far exceeding the narrow, cramped platforms of traditional aluminum rigs. So, with roughly a foot more interior room at the forward seat base, everything just got easier.

Built around stretch-formed gunnels, the entire rig carries the look, feel, space, quietness, and comfort often reserved for larger fiberglass boats. The high performance V2 pad hull makes an equally large statement with its computer-modeled lifting strakes, integrated spray rails, and rough-water-ready, V entry. Combined with SeaStar™ Pro hydraulic steering, this rig is light on its feet while touting an incredibly smooth ride and responsive handling. Inside, rod and gear storage abound, featuring raised lips and rubber trim seals for optimum water resistance. The cockpit is roomy with speed, tach, fuel, trim, and water pressure instrumentation. There’s also a choice of seating configurations as well as your preference of outboard and electronics.

Experience the head-turning performance and revolutionary innovation in this exclusive V2 design. With a custom-fitted trailer and so many other standard features, this futuristic 1880 is Meticulously Put Together To Thoroughly Stand Apart™!

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.

All-Welded High-Performance Pad Hull

Our groundbreaking AVX high-performance pad hull enjoys a running surface with less drag, increased bow lift, and superior overall handling and performance. The manufacturing processes we use create a consistent running surface not found in other brands.

Oversized Gelcoat/Fiberglass Rear Storage

No more flimsy, plastic drop-in boxes held down with wood screws. Our fiberglass boxes are generously oversized while being sealed and foamed into each AVX. It's a solid combination that reinforces our notably quiet, solid, and responsive feel. Additionally, the raised lid openings provide an even drier seal, delivering added protection from water and weather.

Center Rod Box

Protecting today's high-tech rod/reel combos is important. We do that with a carpeted center rod box that literally cradles the equipment in place. Our enclosed, tapered rod tubes allow for individual storage without the worries of rod tips hanging on the end of the tubes. Additionally, the carpeted rod holder makes grabbing your secret setups quick and easy.

Stretch-Formed Gunnels

Just because the hull is built out of aluminum doesn't mean it has to resemble your grandfather's jon boat. Our exclusive stretch-formed gunnels provide a sleek look that's often mistaken for fiberglass. Not only does the design create more deck space and room to fish but it delivers an incredibly smooth, solid, and quiet rough water ride.

Tournament Grade Fiberglass Livewell

When money's on the line it's comforting to know that our livewell system is designed to keep the day's catch healthy and safe. We incorporate a valve system that makes changes easy, no more sticking your hand in cold water to drain the livewell. Additionally, the well is equipped with recirculating aeration, a pump-out system, and Splash-Guard technology.

Loaded with Standard Features

You won't see us offering base-level equipment that keeps the starting price artificially low. As avid anglers ourselves, we package the boats like we would want them. You'll find our entire lineup has a stainless-steel propeller, stainless boarding ladder, smooth hydraulic steering, an onboard charger, retractable rod buckles, and a proven Minn Kota trolling motor built into the price.

Custom Built Vexus® Trailer

Don't settle for a trailer built by the lowest bidder. Ours are built in-house, alongside the boat. But we don't stop there. We put four trailer bunks under the boat. Not only does this help cradle your investment when towing, it makes loading at the ramp a breeze. A 4” Channel frame, UV-protected polyurea coating, LED lights, aluminum wheels, surge disc brakes, and matching painted accents complete the overall package.

Stainless Pull-Up Tie Cleats

Stop breaking rods and tearing clothing. Our stainless-steel pull-up cleats stay out of the way until they're needed.

Oversized Pedestal Bases

Others use a ¾” diameter base to hold the fishing seats in place. We believe in going a step farther. Our 1.77” diameter base is stronger and will last longer.

Compression Lid Locks

One key to providing drier storage is to help ensure the lid completely seals. We accomplish this by using compression locks that pull the lid tight against the rubber seal.

Raised Lip and Oversized Seal for Lid Openings

Our raised lips and oversized seals force water away from the lid openings. Evacuating the water is critical to keeping your gear dry.

Vector Force™ Transom

Our Vector Force Transom is constructed of .125” aluminum and reinforced with 60% more material than the industry standard. The transom is the very foundation of the boat structure and at Vexus we're focused on ensuring anglers can outfit their rig with today's setback plates and shallow water anchors. Many others not only don't offer these options, but installing them actually voids the warranty.

Hard Case™ Paint

Many aluminum boats receive the same paint that's applied to a cheap utility trailer. Instead, we paint the entire hull showing no raw aluminum and the matching color is protected by a Hard Case™ clear coat. This provides a lasting finish that ensures a great look for years to come and ultimately increases resale value.

Wood-Free Design

Knowing that your AVX doesn't rely on any type of wood reinforcement is more than comforting. It's Wood-Free Confidence that translates into worry-free outings. Now, you can leave the regret of corner-cutting composites and squeaky, rotten plywood far behind.

Solid State Wiring & Lit Tip Switches

There's no room for cheap, snap locks and failure-prone fuses in our wiring harnesses. Instead, waterproof connectors and resettable breakers are coupled with our heavy gauge wiring for the ultimate in confidence and reliability.
