1982 Duracraft SuperStar 16

by Leave a Comment

Check out this awesome 1982 Duracraft SuperStar 16 build done by Tyler McGinnis. This boat was owned by his great grandfather, then his grandfather, and now him. It’s special because his grandfather lost his battle with throat cancer in 2018. The Ford Bronco was also his grandfather’s so I won’t ask Tyler to sell it to me even though I want… ...Read More

I attended the New England Fishing Expo this past February not expecting to see a Vexus AVX 1880 at the show. My first look at the Vexus AVX 1880 left me mostly impressed, but was it perfect? There has been a big buzz with Vexus as of last year when they introduced a brand new revolutionary aluminum bass boat at the Classic last year. It was touted to be the aluminum boat… ...Read More

We have been following the journey of Vexus boats. We checked out the unveiling of the Vexus AVX1980 online on their website and thru Social Media. Just being honest with you, the Vexus looks like one sexy boat. Oh man, I like what I am seeing. I never rush out and buy anything when it first comes out.
