Hydra Sports Fishing Boats
2500 VX Vector Express

The perfect blend between uncompromising style and superior engineering.

First we designed a serious fishing boat. Then we added the comforts. A poured ceramic transom delivers fast, stable and efficient power evenly through the Hydra-Sports® one-piece Integrated Structural Grid System and Kevlar® reinforced hull.

Plenty of space on the backend is matched with well-appointed cabin space upfront. An air conditioning option, hot and cold water shower, standard windlass and premium finishes make the 2500VX ideal for cruising and overnight trips.

Throw in premium features including an all-inclusive fiberglass hard-top, storage drawers under a port side lounge seat, and you have, quite simply, a premium 25-foot boat that combines maximum performance with superior comfort.
