Looking for a 2026 Vexus 181 Defender aluminum fishing boat for sale in Florida? This Suzuki-powered Vexus has received a $2,000 price reduction, bringing the selling price to just $32,995 at Holiday Marine in Leesburg, Florida.

Powered by a Suzuki DF75ATL5 75 HP Four Stroke Outboard, this 18'1" aluminum fishing boat features an all-welded, no-wood hull, a 94" beam and a fishing-focused layout. Finished in Midnight Oil Metallic, this package includes a Minn Kota Edge 70-lb. trolling motor, Humminbird HELIX 5 CHIRP GPS, onboard battery charger and single axle trailer.

With its combination of Suzuki outboard power, installed fishing electronics, trolling equipment and included trailer, this Defender offers an attractive option for anglers shopping for a new aluminum fishing boat under $35,000.

Why This Boat Stands Out

The 2026 Vexus 181 Defender combines all-welded aluminum construction with practical fishing features designed for freshwater anglers.

Its 18'1" overall length and 94" beam provide a wide fishing platform with a spacious front casting deck, dedicated storage compartments and flexible seating arrangements.

The front storage box is plumbed for livewell/baitwell use, while three-across front deck seating bases allow multiple fishing seat positions. A recessed foot-control tray provides a designated location for the trolling-motor foot control.

At the bow, the Minn Kota Edge 70-lb. 45" trolling motor provides electric trolling capability, while the Humminbird HELIX 5 CHIRP GPS adds fishfinding and navigation functionality.

The Minn Kota 6x2 onboard charger and two-battery holder system support the boat's electrical setup, and the included single axle trailer completes the package.
