I recently got back into fishing and have been just hitting the ponds around where I live. I am planning on joining a bass club as a non-boater next year to learn a few things before venturing in buying a boat. I have settled on that I am going to buy an aluminum boat with no more than 150 HP motor as my first boat. I am leaning towards a Vexus, most likely the AVX1980. Are they any other manufacturers I should keep an eye on. I like the look of the Lund but it will most likely be a touch out of my price range.
