    Expecting delivery of my new 223VRX next week

    Has anybody taken delivery of a new Vortex model? Our local dealer said the first 4-5 arrived last week, and mine is on the next scheduled delivery (tax day!). Not sure when we will launch it but lakes are coming up fast with all the rain over here. Went by the dealer today to take a few...

    another New Boat buying/pick up question (Insurance)

    My experience with Ski Safe has been excellent. Had a claim 4-5 years ago and they paid w/o any questions or problems. This past February I traded in my old boat (new one won't arrive until mid April) and they sent me a prorated refund. I also gave them the details of the new boat and they...

    Vortex giveaway contest

    I am so glad to see popularity of the blue.... my 223 is due in 2-3 weeks and I ordered the blue, but red was a very close 2nd choice. Water's up, temps moderating, and I'm so ready for delivery. Maybe I'll order the red once I win the contest!

    VRX 243 vs VRX 223 side by side observations

    My thoughts exactly and why I went with the 223. A friend was looking at both and leaning towards the 243, but preferred the seating of the 223. A few nits with either but overall nice layout. Anxiously awaiting delivery next month.

    Chap VRX dealer and availability

    In middle Tennessee, Modern Marine has (I believe) a 223 VRX in stock (as of around 2-1-15). It's one of the ones they had at the boat show back in January. The others are gone I think. Their website is http://www.modernmarineonline.com/. I believe they took quite a few orders at that show...

    How much to offer on new VRX when buying from dealership? Or, What'd you pay for your vortex?

    I did.... as I recall the 250's added another $7k or so, and for how I boat the 200's should be more than adequate.

    How much to offer on new VRX when buying from dealership? Or, What'd you pay for your vortex?

    I'm a new member and excited to find this forum. Just traded myCaravelle Interceptor on the 223VRX. Paid the Chap price and received the 5 year engine warranty. Dealer did not negotiate on the Chap but did some on my trade and accessories. Expect delivery around April 1. Deal is subject to a...
