2900 VX Vector Express

An iron fist in a velvet glove.

The up-market 2900VX boasts a Kevlar® reinforced hull and performs with a soft and stable ride. With the cruising comforts of a forward cabin, the 2900VX is ideal for overnight trips.

And with an integrated liner and stringer system, it's ideal for taking on the elements. Double clamped hoses, submersible-rated electrical connections and stainless steel, from the bow rails to the propellers, ensure superior safety.

From the creature comforts of the forward cabin, to the backend fishability and fully-rigged hard-top overhead, everything is considered - including your uncompromising expectation.
