VPS Hull
Smoker Craft’s revolutionary Generation 2 Vertex Performance Straketm (VPS) hull sets the standard for high performance in aluminum fishing boat design, providing unrivaled acceleration, unequaled handling and the highest ride quality in the industry.
Specially designed, integrated performance strakes mounted to the V-shaped hull feed nothing but clean, undisturbed water to the propeller for maximum bite. That means enhanced boat controls, greater bow lift and a quicker time to plane — even when running with less horsepower.
Break out to the big water, and you’ll immediately feel the VPS difference, with its unprecedented stability and its higher, drier ride. That’s something everyone can appreciate.

Best of all, VPS lets you achieve this incredible level of performance with smaller, lighter, more fuel-efficient engines to help reduce ownership costs. Because, let’s face it, it’s more fun to spend that extra cash on new tackle instead of gas.
