It tops out at 70 mph and accelerates on plane in just under 5 seconds, hitting 30\u00a0mph in 6.5 seconds. The big 250-horse Mercury outboard is not even the maximum power that this \u00adnear-22-footer can handle either. The VXs21 is rated for 300 hp and, in my opinion, would likely approach 80 mph with that many ponies pushing it.<\/p>\n<p>The Vexus pad-V hull rides clean at speeds above 30 mph. We noted that its best mileage of 4.6\u00a0mpg was achieved at a best cruise speed of 32.5 mph and 3,500 rpm, burning just 7 gph. With the VXs21\u2019s 58-gallon fuel tank full of fuel, that\u2019s a range of 242 miles, leaving 10 percent in reserve. You can confidently fish the big impoundments or a whole weekend on smaller lakes without \u00adstopping for gas with this boat.<\/p>\n<section class=\"hydra-container\">\n<div class=\"hydra-canvas\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.boatingmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/BTG725-Vexus-2-1024x768.jpg?resize=800%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" class=\"hydra-image\" alt=\"Vexus VXs21 bow casting platform\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.boatingmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/BTG725-Vexus-2-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.boatingmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/BTG725-Vexus-2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.boatingmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/BTG725-Vexus-2-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.boatingmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/BTG725-Vexus-2-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.boatingmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/BTG725-Vexus-2.jpg 2000w\">                <\/div><figcaption class=\"caption margin_top_xs full border_1 hydra-figcaption\">\n                <span class=\"hydra-image-caption\">Anglers will appreciate the mega-size fishing deck.<\/span><br \/>\n                <span class=\"article_image_credit italic margin_right_xs\">Courtesy Vexus Boats\u2014Advanced Marine Performance<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/section>\n<p>The performance-engineered pad-V hull delivers great feedback and provides intuitive reaction to throttle and steering inputs. Whether cruising in the 30\u00a0mph range or cranking along at 60, it carved turns and hopped wakes for me with authority. The bow flares wide, repelling waves, while providing what experienced anglers know as a Vexus trademark: the \u00admega-size fishing deck. The flared bow of the VXs21 boasts enough room for two anglers to fish side-by-side without crowding. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Vexus\u2019 construction features all-composite hand-laid fiberglass infused with vinylester resin, which is the most blister-resistant type of resin. The brilliant gelcoat finish features a combination of polyflake and solid \u00adcolors. It is expertly done with clean, crisp lines and no jagged edges between the flake and solid panels that I could find, and I looked at it hard. Do the same if you want to know what a \u201ctextbook\u201d job looks like.<\/p>\n<section class=\"hydra-container\">\n<div class=\"hydra-canvas\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.boatingmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/BTG725-Vexus-6-1024x768.jpg?resize=800%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" class=\"hydra-image\" alt=\"Vexus VXs21 cooler\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.boatingmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/BTG725-Vexus-6-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.boatingmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/BTG725-Vexus-6-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.boatingmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/BTG725-Vexus-6-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.boatingmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/BTG725-Vexus-6-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.boatingmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/BTG725-Vexus-6.jpg 2000w\">                <\/div><figcaption class=\"caption margin_top_xs full border_1 hydra-figcaption\">\n                <span class=\"hydra-image-caption\">An insulated cooler is easy to access.<\/span><br \/>\n                <span class=\"article_image_credit italic margin_right_xs\">Courtesy Vexus Boats\u2014Advanced Marine Performance<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/section>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Interior and Accessories<\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s clear that Vexus knows what serious \u00adanglers want in a boat. Look at the layout of the VXs21. At the bow, there\u2019s ample space for large, stacked displays. Shallow-water anchor foot controls, cup and tool holders, and switches for the outboard trim and navigation lights are all within easy reach. Bow deck storage includes a 9-foot rod box with a quick-draw shelf for your favorite rods. An 8-foot centerline compartment is equipped with side slots for 3700-style s\u00adtorage boxes, plus added room below the rods for more gear. Just in front of the console, another large locker and day box complete the storage offerings. All of these compartments feature Vexus\u2019 Dri-Max system of rain channels, raised moisture dams, weather-tight seals, and stainless-steel compression latches. You can be confident of your stowed gear staying dry aboard this boat.<\/p>\n<p>In the cockpit, the center step features tool holders and a slide-out drawer with a slam latch for quick access to smaller items such as \u00adcellphones, wallets and keys. Additional storage in the cockpit includes a hinged box in front of the passenger seating as well as open bins with cup holders positioned alongside both the port and starboard seating. Behind the seating is another slot for a fish net. Handy! In the middle of the cockpit, an insulated cooler is built in. Lunch is at hand.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read Next:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.boatingmag.com\/how-to\/five-cities-with-great-bass-fishing\/\">Five Cities With Great Bass Fishing<\/a><\/p>\n<section class=\"hydra-container\">\n<div class=\"hydra-canvas\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.boatingmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/BTG725-Vexus-5-1024x768.jpg?resize=800%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" class=\"hydra-image\" alt=\"Vexus VXs21 livewell\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.boatingmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/BTG725-Vexus-5-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.boatingmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/BTG725-Vexus-5-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.boatingmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/BTG725-Vexus-5-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.boatingmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/BTG725-Vexus-5-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.boatingmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/BTG725-Vexus-5.jpg 2000w\">                <\/div><figcaption class=\"caption margin_top_xs full border_1 hydra-figcaption\">\n                <span class=\"hydra-image-caption\">The aft deck features dual livewells with lids.<\/span><br \/>\n                <span class=\"article_image_credit italic margin_right_xs\">Courtesy Vexus Boats\u2014Advanced Marine Performance<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/section>\n<p>In the center walkway, we noted stainless-steel latches and full-length hinges fastening thick, deep fiberglass hatch lids to the deck. Water channels wick away moisture from gear stowed below. Plush, deep-bolstered bucket seats feature AirWave pedestals for shock-absorbing comfort. Below the cockpit sits the 58-gallon fuel tank, giving the Vexus a very low center of gravity, which contributes to the confident and precise feel of this boat underway.<\/p>\n<p>The fiberglass console features a 12-inch built-in Garmin multifunction display. A 16-incher will fit the space if you desire a larger one. A \u00adFusion stereo is optional ($752). Digital switching is now standard. Besides reliability and ease of troubleshooting, this comes with a nifty graphic showing all active and dormant circuits and electrical functions The tilt-helm hydraulic-steering system and a manual jack plate are also standard. An adjust-on-the-fly hydraulic jack plate can be optionally installed ($1,924).<\/p>\n<p>Shopping?

A set of acrylic baffles under the carpeted lids allows for anti-slosh livewell filling and fish-keeping in rougher water. The aft rigging compartment is very cleanly rigged, in my opinion, with all batteries and pumps fully \u00adaccessible. The Minn Kota Raptor 12-volt shallow-water anchors are installed by being through-\u00adbolted \u00addirectly to the transom. A stainless-steel, \u00adstowable boarding ladder is standard, a great convenience, and a safety feature in compliance with ABYC standards.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How We Tested<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>\n<strong>Engine: <\/strong>Mercury FourStroke 250 hp V-8<\/li>\n<li>\n<strong>Drive\/Prop: <\/strong>Outboard\/Mercury Fury 14\u2033 x 23\u2033 3-blade stainless steel<\/li>\n<li>\n<strong>Gear Ratio: <\/strong>1.75:1 <strong>Fuel Load: <\/strong>30 gal. <strong>Crew Weight: <\/strong>250 lb.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">High Points<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The aft boarding ladder features an \u201cidiot light\u201d on the dash, which is activated if it\u2019s left deployed.
