2026 Vexus AVX2085s

ABOUT THIS MODEL

Bolstered by the fist-pumping power of a 250-horsepower rating, a huge interior with massive decks and storages, and a high performance step pad hull that dominates both big and shallow water, this is the AVX2085s. The beam-forward design is precision tuned to target whatever you’re chasing... whether it’s bass, crappie, walleye, musky, or just a well-deserved escape with family and friends.

Below the rub rail, the tournament-engineered V2 hull includes computer-modeled lifting strakes, integrated spray rails, and a 44-gallon fuel tank on the center line. It’s a powerful combination geared for an extremely smooth, dry ride as well as responsive handling and lightning fast hole shots. Further equipped with stretch-formed gunnels, Trac-tight™ handling, and the added good looks of fiberglass-infused parts, this advanced aluminum rig is built to rout rough water while keeping comfort and convenience, front and center.

Handcrafted to maximize space, the innovative layout is also packed with standard features. The wide-open floor plan enjoys a spacious 96” beam and overall boat length of 20’ 8”. Combined with a huge front deck, there’s an enormous amount of room for multiple anglers and 3-across seat bases. Not only is it a platform with tremendous stability but it’s also loaded with lockable storage. Deck compartments include the added peace of mind from our Dri-Max™ system of rapid water evacuation. The design is reinforced with raised moisture barriers, weather trim seals, compression locks, and integrated channels to funnel water away from openings and out of the boat. Elsewhere, the bow station is armed with a recessed foot pedal mount along with cup and tool holders, NAV light and trim switches, and room for 10-inch flush mounted or 12-inch stacked electronics.

Throughout the 2085s, rod and gear storage rules. While the port box is geared for rods up to 8 ½ feet in length, the center stow is sized for sticks as long as 9 ½ feet! Plus, both sides of the front deck include retractable straps with slots between the console and gunnel for rods. There’s even more rod room alongside the portside passenger seating. Just in front of the driver’s console, the starboard box is ideal for a variety of gear, and it’s equipped with a divider leaving plenty of space for 3700-sized boxes.

Making the most of the entire floorplan, the step between the consoles incorporates both tool holders and a compartment that’s well suited for smaller things like cull buoys, extra line, wallets, keys, snacks, and a host of other gear you like to keep close. The driver’s station is packed with features while the forward seats are also mounted on swivels and slides to maximize comfort, convenience, and flexibility. Speed, tach, fuel, trim, and water pressure instrumentation are positioned for easy visibility and the spacious dash accepts up to 12-inch, flush mounted electronics. Just starboard of the driver are a host of switch controls as well as USB and 12V power outlets, cupholders and another small tray for compact items like a cell phone, sunscreen, and other necessities.

An oversized glovebox, cupholders, and more storage under the console are highlights of the forward passenger area. The cushioned polyethylene cockpit floor is not only great-looking, but it dries quickly and is skid-resistant. The cool-to-the-touch design is cushioned for all-day comfort. Looking aft, a pair of jump seats cover insulated compartments that are ideal for storage or truly impressive coolers. When folded down, the seats add even more space to the rear deck.

In between the fold-downs, the insulated, fiberglass livewell is equipped with recirculating aeration, an anti-splash ring, removable divider, and pump-out. Looking further aft, the rear power compartment is equally spacious with room for four batteries, a multi-bank charger, master power switch, our Vexus® View 8-gauge inline harness, and easy access to plumbing and pumps.

You’ll also find a long wish list of standard features on the matching tandem trailer. It’s customized with our reinforced 4-inch channel steel frame, Victor Shield™ protective coating, LED lighting, disc brakes on both axles, a swing tongue, hybrid oil hubs, custom Vexus® aluminum wheels, fitted bunks, load guides, transom tie-downs, spare tire, multiple side steps, and an available bow step.

Bigger, Bolder, Stronger, Smoother, and Built for high-geared confidence... the AVX2085s is a bass crossover that’s setting an even higher bar for quality, performance, and versatility. With a choice of outboards, electronics, colors, and deck floor options as well as room for five, an available ski tow pole, and the ability to mount shallow water anchors directly to the transom, this tournament-level design keeps the fun in families and the focus on fish.

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 AVX 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.

Keel-Mounted Fuel System with Lower Center of Gravity

Your AVX2085s 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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Custom-Matched Trailer with Victor Shield™ Finish

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.

Integrated LED NAV Lights

The aerodynamic form of these integrated bow navigation lights is not only geared to reinforce the sleek lines of your rig but the low-profile design means you’ll never worry with bumping or bending them in the dark.

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.

Raised Lips, Compression Lid Locks, and Oversized Seals for Lid Openings

One key to providing drier storage is to help ensure the lid completely seals. We accomplish this by using a raised lip and compression lock that pulls the lid tight against the oversized rubber seal. Quickly 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 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.

SeaStar™ Pro Hydraulic Steering

The fluid feel of SeaStar™ Pro hydraulic steering reinforces the smooth ride and responsive handling of this high-performance design.

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.

Available Ski Tow

Family-focused and performance-driven, the AVX2085s is also available with a ski tow for added fun on the water.

Solid State Wiring and 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.

Infused Fiberglass Consoles, Bow/Side Panels, Livewell, Jump Seats, and Cooler

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

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 standard, and it’s an available option on the front and back decks. It’s an incredible water-wicking material, helping quickly shed moisture while transforming your entire rig into the ultimate fish & play station.

Port and Center Rod Boxes

Protecting today's high-tech rod/reel combos is crucial. Our 8' 6" port and 9' 6" center rod boxes offer a world of storage capacity for all your sticks.

Stainless-Steel Boarding Ladder

A full-size ladder that doesn’t clutter up the back of your boat? Yep, this stainless-steel, retractable design stows out of the way when not in use. Deployed, it features wide, ultra-grip steps, helping make reentry a snap.
