2026 Vexus Defender 201

The 2026 Vexus Defender 201 is a 20-foot center console built on an all-welded aluminum hull with a .125-inch bottom thickness, designed for fishing and shallow-water operation. Powered by a Mercury 115 hp four-stroke engine and paired with an aluminum trailer complete with brakes, spare tire, and swing tongue, the boat combines performance with practical trailering. Standard equipment includes BayStar hydraulic steering, a tournament-grade insulated fiberglass livewell with anti-splash ring and multifunction controls, and an aluminum prop.

The center console features an infused-fiberglass construction with a stainless-steel steering wheel and built-in rod holders. Two spacious rod lockers accommodate up to 8-foot rods, while a storage box on the front deck provides additional gear space. The integrated baitwell and aerated livewell with pump-out functionality support fishing operations. A leaning post with integrated footrest and infused-fiberglass jump seats toward the stern allow room for additional anglers.

The boat is outfitted with a 30-gallon fuel tank, Minn Kota 6 X 3 battery charger, and crank battery with tray and tie-down. Instrument gauges include tachometer, fuel, and trim indicators. Polyurea flooring provides durability underfoot, while the Vector Force solid transom and balanced weight distribution support the hull's Trac-Tight handling characteristics. Bow trim and navigation light switches, binnacle throttle control, and trailer tie-downs round out the standard package.
