2026 Avid 18 Vertex

The 2026 Avid 18 Vertex is an aluminum bay boat built for shallow-water fishing and performance. It measures 18.42 feet in length with a 7.92-foot beam and runs a single Yamaha 115 SHO outboard. The boat carries a fuel capacity of 20 gallons and has a weight capacity of 1,350 pounds, accommodating up to four people.

The layout centers on a solid fiberglass console with practical fishing amenities throughout. A 32-gallon divided livewell keeps bait and catch fresh, while a 12-gallon insulated cooler stores provisions. Rod storage holds rods up to eight feet, and ample compartments with Plano dividers organize tackle and gear. A Minn Kota Edge 70-pound 24-volt trolling motor is installed for quiet positioning over shallow flats.
