Fish, ski, tube, dive, camp, and cruise. Do it all with confidence in this easily launched, loaded, and trailered design. Spanning 18’ 4” in length with a huge 98” beam, the ADX180 HS is a full-fledged freedom machine, built for the catch and your well-deserved release. Performance engineered for the whole family, the 180 is ideally sized for modest garages, lighter tow vehicles, and reduced parking at popular ramps. The smooth, responsive handling instantly puts you at home. With weather-sealed compartments, your choice of outboards and electronics, hydraulic steering, and a wide open interior, it’s easy to see that comfort is king, and convenience is key to the entire layout. Additional highlights of the beam-forward design include molded fiberglass jump seats, a tournament grade livewell, automotive-style windshield, available ski tow, insulated cooler, adjustable driver/passenger seats, cushioned high-density flooring, a world of room for tackle and gear, and a full-featured, custom trailer. The ADX180 HS... No matter what draws you to the water, this memory maker is proof that when it comes to rewards and excitement, you can take it with you! |
Vexus® V2 TechnologyBy incorporating numerous design and manufacturing improvements, we’ve raised the bar in aluminum fishing boats—giving you more room, more strength, and more consistent performance on the water. From the computer-modeled lifting strakes to the integrated spray rails to the additional width at the bow, this next generation of Vexus® boats is ready to excel every time you back one down the ramp. |
Beam-Forward DesignThe Beam-Forward design of your ADX model works to maximize space, comfort, and convenience while also delivering an incredibly smooth, dry ride. With greater deadrise and a deeper hull, virtually every area of the boat benefits with more deck, floor, cockpit, and storage space. |
Hard Case™ Paint with Clearcoat ProtectionThis new-era, color armor is unrivaled; setting the highest standards for durability, shine, strength, and worry-free maintenance. Plus, it’s a hands-down winner in chemical, gas, scratch, impact, and even salt spray resistance tests. Bow to stern, this performance-proven process means your rig is built to turn heads on and off the water. |
Automotive-Style Windshield Mounted to Firm-Set™ PillarsWherever you go, water commands respect. It’s why you won’t find our automotive-style windshields mounted on flimsy consoles that can shift like sand. Instead, ADX windshields are tied directly to the deck superstructure. It’s a firm foundation allowing the windshield and frame to function as one unit. Ultimately, the entire design is built for superior strength and rigidity, helping everything stay secure, stable, and aligned. |
Vector Force™ Transom with Kicker Capability (up to 10hp)Our Vector Force™ transom is constructed of .125” aluminum and reinforced with more material than the industry standard. The transom is the very foundation of the boat structure and, at Vexus, we're focused on ensuring anglers can outfit their rig with today's setback plates and shallow water anchors. Many others don't offer these options and installing them may actually void their warranty. |
Bow Storage for Trolling Motor PedalThe extra bow panel compartment offers quick-stow and retrieval for the pedal of Power-Drive-style trolling motors. |
Integrated LED Nav LightsThe aerodynamic form of these integrated bow, navigation lights is not only geared to reinforce the sleek lines of your rig but the low-profile design means you’ll never worry with bumping or bending them in the dark. |
Center Rod CompartmentThe huge, center rod box is equipped with large, oval tubes and a world of room for rods and gear. |
SeaStar™ Pro Hydraulic SteeringThe fluid feel of SeaStar™ Pro hydraulic steering reinforces the smooth ride and responsive handling of this deep vee design. |
Molded Fiberglass Jump Seats with Under-Seat StorageInsulated and weather-sealed, the extra, under-seat storage and Cold Spot™ cooler are even more examples of the extreme versatility built into this design. |

Buying a boat is a big investment, and you should feel confident in your decision. Even if you feel ready for the financial commitment of boat ownership, you might still be wondering: is it really worth it? The answer is up to you, but of course, we here at Howell’s Marine Sales & Service are big proponents of the marine lifestyle! If you need a little convincing, you came to the right place. Read on to discover the many benefits of having your own boat!
Boating is a great way to create unforgettable memories with family and friends. Everything is more exciting when you are out on the water! Even a casual day of cruising around the lake or lounging on the deck of your boat can be a wonderful bonding experience. You can also teach your children to fish, seek out remote destinations for swimming and snorkeling, or even stretch out under the stars and look for constellations and meteors. When you have your own boat, each summer day is an opportunity for marine adventure!
There is plenty of evidence to suggest that spending time in nature is one of the best ways to relieve stress. With a boat of your own, you can get away from the hustle and bustle whenever you feel like it, and enjoy some peace and quiet out on the water. Your boat is the perfect place to escape from everyday life and give yourself some much-needed time to recharge and reflect. There is comfort in solitude, and nothing feels more solitary than being alone on your boat!
Owning a boat gives you access to a whole new world of experiences, and that includes meeting new people! As you spend time at marinas and boat ramps, you will have the opportunity to meet other boaters. You can also seek out boat clubs in your area, and get involved in the local boating and fishing community. This is a great way to make new friends who share your enthusiasm for boating!
