2026 Vexus DVX23s

About This Model

The next evolution of Vexus® Big Water Dominance is here!

Competing on America’s most demanding fisheries requires a boat that won’t back down when the wind howls and the waves roar. The Vexus® DVX23s is engineered to meet extreme conditions head-on, while providing you with the stability and safety of the largest multispecies platform on the market. Rated for 500 HP and measuring 23’2” in length, this rig has the size and ponies to tackle the most demanding excursion.

The foundation of this next-generation fishing machine is the proprietary Petestep® hull, which maximizes vessel efficiency in all water conditions. Developed using advanced computational fluid dynamics, this design incorporates deflectors that funnel water down the centerline of the boat and away from the outer chine, resulting in a drier, softer, and quieter ride.

Up front, you’ll find a massive elevated front deck that makes precise target casting or slinging big musky rigs equally easy. And just like every Vexus® DVX, you’ll find more width at the bow to facilitate multiple anglers utilizing forward-facing sonar technology. Huge storage boxes and an aerated baitwell round out this angling office.

In the cockpit, you’ll also find redesigned driver and passenger consoles that improve angler ergonomics, ensuring critical controls and convenient storage are always quickly accessible. There’s even room to flush-mount a 16” graph. To keep all your electronic devices charged and ready, we’ve included a wireless magnetic phone charger and multiple USB ports strategically located for maximum convenience. Jump seats are located on either side of the livewell for additional anglers, while recessed storage boxes in the floor keep gear organized and out of the way.

Available with all the benefits you’ve come to expect, like our AirWave® seats, Intensive Care™ Livewell system, and much more, the Vexus® DVX23s is leading the charge for the next generation of multispecies boats!

Why We're Different

Petestep® Hull

The foundation of the Vexus® DVX23s is the proprietary Petestep® hull, which maximizes vessel efficiency in all water conditions. Developed using advanced computational fluid dynamics, this design incorporates deflectors that funnel water down the centerline of the boat and away from the outer chine, resulting in a drier, softer, and quieter ride.

More Space at Bow

We designed the DVX bow area to be wider than the industry standard, providing you with more space around the trolling motor pedal. This is critical when using modern techniques such as forward-facing sonar, where two anglers often fish side by side.

Power Your Devices

With a magnetic phone charger and multiple USB sockets strategically located throughout the cockpit, you'll never lack a place to plug in.

Digital Rigging Access

The DVX23s features a convenient access panel to allow quick access to digital engine rigging components.

Infused Composite Construction™

Stronger glass-to-resin ratios, minimal emissions, and repeatable consistency... With proprietary systems and practices, we're revolutionizing fiberglass boatbuilding; taking the advantages of vacuum infusion and delivering world class products that are Lighter, Stronger, Faster, and more environmentally responsible*.

Advanced Big Water Hull Design

Lighter, faster, stronger, drier, and smoother, DVX hulls were made to Rule Rough Water™.

Choice of Hard Case™ Paint or Custom Poliflake

From the deep luster and near-endless Hard Case™ paint choices to the signature stripes and eye-catching shades of our custom Poliflake, we thrive on building Your Dream Your Way.

Lower Center of Gravity

Engineered with a deeper hull, huge central battery compartment, and a longitudinal fuel tank beneath the floor, your DVX is no ordinary design. Working with our exclusive hull design, the lower center of gravity delivers an unparalleled ride with incredible balance, stability, handling, and tracking.

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 standard throughout the DVX23s, including on the front deck and lids. It’s an incredible water-wicking material, helping quickly shed moisture while transforming your entire rig into the ultimate workstation.

Automotive-Style Windshield with Firm Set™ Pillars

Big water commands respect. It’s why we don’t place our automotive-style windshields on top of individual consoles that can move. Instead, DVX windshields are tied directly to our 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.

High Performance Seats & AirWave® Suspension

Here’s a set of driver/passenger seats built for an amazing ride. Not only are these high performance seats engineered for the ultimate in secure comfort, but the custom feel of AirWave® suspension can be adjusted to every person, creating an incredible experience in rough conditions. In short, the shock-absorbing design works together with our DVX hull to deliver the smoothest ride on the water.

Room for Flush-Mounting Two Units at Console

By optimizing space throughout every design, we’ve created a world of room for flush-mounting huge, state-of-the-art electronics at both the driver’s console and bow. Plus, with our custom Victor brackets, even multiple large screen units are right at home.

Integrated Tackle Storage System

The DVX23s is packed with room for your favorite lures and essential gear. From huge storage compartments to integrated tackle drawers, there's never a lack of space for all your gear.

Rear Jump Seats

These fold-down jump seats reinforce the versatility and total performance nature of our multispecies design. Providing exceptional comfort and added room for additional passengers, this custom feature adds even more room to an already spacious rear deck. Underneath, you'll find additional fiberglass storage.

Available Passive Keyless Ignition

Our available passive keyless ignition with remote fob brings even more versatility with multifunction switches and automotive-style security. 

Dri-Max™ Water Evac

Water and weather are constantly working to breach storage boxes. It's why we created our Dri-Max™ system. Composed of taller barriers and deeper lid channels as well as form-fitting weather-trim seals and heavy duty, stainless-steel compression latches, every DVX interior is built to stay drier while moving water quickly from the decks and floor.

Patented Intensive Care™ Livewell System

Surrounding your fish with an even better environment than they came out of, our patented Intensive Care™ Livewell System is pioneering a whole new approach to conservation. With it, those last-dash, rough-water runs have met their match. While every DVX well has a standard level of fill, when this design is topped off, a second, pressure-filled level virtually eliminates water slosh, delivering an incredibly smooth, secure ride for the fish—whatever the size of the waves and chop. 

Control Panel at Stern

At the stern, our external charging station is designed for the ultimate in efficiency and convenience.

Custom-Matched Trailer with Victor Shield™ Finish

Enjoy the added confidence, security, and 21st-century design of your custom-matched DVX trailer. Among its revolutionary features are infused fiberglass fenders, Victor Shield™ UV-stabilized polyurea coating on the frame, custom aluminum wheels, full license plate holder, and a world of redundant LED lighting. Trailer also includes:

• Parking Brake

• Belly Spare (doesn't constrict mirror visibility)

• Front Trailer Steps

Integrated Bow Lights

The aerodynamic form of these integrated 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.

Flush-Mounted Rod Holders

Stainless steel, aft-mounted rod holders are custom-engineered to hold rods, nets, or even a rail mount system for downriggers and other gear.

Console Rod Boots on Front Deck

Making the most of all available space while reinforcing quick, easy access to rods and gear, we've installed rod tip boots in the windshield pillars up front.

Custom-Fitted Keel Protector

Engineered for a flush, custom-fit, DVX designs enjoy the added confidence and protection of a factory-installed keel protector.

Flush-Mounted Tool Storage

With multiple tool holders integrated into the layout, the gear you need is always close at hand.

SS Hardware System

Avoiding cheap metals and weak plastics, you'll see the added strength of stainless-steel hardware throughout every DVX design. Check out the SS striker plates on storage boxes, gas shocks on lids, pop-up tie cleats, handrails, retractable ladder, flush rod holders, aft water ports, and even the protective plate surrounding the bow/stern eyes. Detail after detail, we're committed to delivering an extraordinary ownership experience. 

Full Transom Backwash Barrier

From rough water surprises to sudden stops, there’s no joy in water coming over the stern. It’s why your DVX is engineered with a Full Transom Barrier and no enclosed splash well. The Open Slope™ design sheds water quickly and works with the level attitude of our hulls to shield against accidental backwash.
