2026 Avid 18 Vertex

The Avid 18 Vertex is an 18-foot 6-inch aluminum runabout built for fishing and day-cruising. It sits on a 7-foot 10-inch beam with a 20-inch transom and 11-inch draft, and is powered by a single 115 hp Yamaha V-Max SHO engine. The hull is constructed from 5052 marine-grade aluminum with a 13-degree deadrise.

The boat centers around a large front casting deck and comprehensive rod storage, including a vertical-opening rod box and a tube system capable of holding up to eight 8-foot rods. A 32-gallon divided aft livewell and insulated cooler provide live-bait and catch capacity. The center console features dual Humminbird Helix 7 fishfinders mounted at the console and bow, BayStar tilt steering, and includes a gray fishing seat and gray center console full kit.

Additional features include a swim platform with step plate in smoke grey finish, swing tongue, and a 14-inch spare tire. The standard package rounds out a straightforward, purpose-built fishing platform.
