Product Features

Description

With a 10’ rod box, pair of tournament-grade fiberglass livewells, wide-open interior, and all-welded, high performance pad hull, our 189c has everything you’d expect in a serious crappie rig – except the higher price. Plus, this affordable, 18’ 7” machine is packed with bonus features.

Built on our exclusive Dense Base™ superstructure, the design includes a beefy transom, engineered for the added convenience and versatility of shallow water anchors. The front deck includes 3-across seat bases, a wider interior for mounting spider rigs, and a reverse-hinged lid on the forward livewell/baitwell. The unique hinge position is strategically placed to provide quick, easy access to the well while remaining seated on the front deck.

The helm of the 189c is equipped with smooth, BayStar™ hydraulic steering as well as speed, tach, fuel, trim, and water pressure gauges. There’s also room for flush-mounting up to 10” electronics. High performance bucket seats center the layout while the cockpit includes a world of leg room and an easy in/out cockpit design. Oversized, fiberglass storage boxes feature raised lips with rubber trim seals and compression latches for the ultimate wet-weather confidence. The 189c also comes with a Minn Kota Fortrex, upright, level flotation, our exclusive Hard Case™ paint with clear coat protectant, stainless steel pop-up cleats, a wide choice of outboards and electronics, and a custom-matched trailer with Victor Shield™ protective coating.

The AVX189c... From price to performance, here’s a serious crappie design engineered to put you on fish and keep you there.

Features

Matching Fiberglass Console: We don't stop at simply putting a fiberglass console in our boat. These Glass-Infused Aluminum Hybrid™ designs benefit from the looks, strength, and quality of fiberglass throughout the rig. The console is built with a cantilever design that improves legroom and overall feel. No sharp edges and plug-and-play wiring make additional rigging simple. It's topped off with our exclusive Hard Case™ two-stage paint to match the entire boat and provide lasting value.
Oversized Gelcoat/Fiberglass Rear Storages: 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.
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.
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.
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.
Custom Upholstery With Optional Adjustable Driver's Seat: Comfort is critical and a focus of ours. You'll find that the custom driver and passenger seats not only look great but feel the same way. With the Victor Package we even provide an adjustable driver's seat. Why shouldn't the boat be built to fit you, not the other way around? Coupled with matching fold down fishing seats our rigs are ready for those long days on the water.
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.

Other Features

All-Welded High-Performance Pad Hull: Our ground-breaking 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.
Custom Built Vexus® Trailer: Don't settle for a trailer built by the lowest bidder. Ours are built in-house, alongside your boat. But we don't stop there. An ultra-strong, Channel frame, UV-protected polyurea coating, LED lights, matching fenders, aluminum wheels, and corresponding paint accents highlight the unparalleled package.
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, and a proven Minn Kota Trolling motor built into the price.
Oversized Seal for Lid Openings: Our 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.
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.
