    Introducing Vexus Boats

    Looks like the family that started Ranger boats will start a new line of aluminum and glass boats after selling Ranger to Bass Pro.

    I’d read about this a few months ago. Can’t wait to see what they come out with. It’s reminds me of G3 boats being started by former Lowe boats engineers

    Let her rip! More competition, more choice, more reason for BPS to stay true to Ranger quality.

    Seems to be a lot of boat building done over there in Flippin, AR huh? We have Stratos, Triton, and Ranger built under one roof. Okay so Johnny Morris is taking over everything fishing, obvious. Ranger sold out and we are supposed to suck that up as courage or commitment and be honored for them to offer us something new? I ain't buying it...

    I have a friend that has a business at Cotter, AR near Flippin. The Woods family does business with him. The word was that employees were told that the Ranger line was going to have to be built cheaper for better profit margins. The key folks disagreed with this so they moved to another location and started this company.

    This may not be the facts just what I was told. This was second hand info, in my opinion it will force Ranger to keep building a quality product. Competition is usually a good thing for consumers.

    This has happened with other boat companies.

    Duracraft was sold, War Eagle was started. They have now purchased the Duracraft line back.

    SeaArk and MonArk. SeaArk was the workboat division, MonArk was the recreation line it was sold. SeaArk began building a recreation line.

    Ive already applied to be the new dealer in the Memphis area. I know all the guys involved and just got off the phone with them. Aluminum boats are scheduled for May this year with the glass production to start late 2018 or early 2019.
