I own a Skeeter myself (05 ZX225) and use to own a Ranger (99 519VS). I can say that the Skeeter is a better riding boat and a faster hull. The Ranger is a more stable fish for fishing. I miss my Ranger but love my Skeeter. Nowadays, most high-end boats are good whether you're talking Nitro, Skeeter, Ranger, Champion, Legend or Basscat. My next boat is going to be a Lund.
@Shakester71 u cant doo that brother LOL too goo from a bass boat with their speed,look and fishability too a deep v aluminum commme on aha atleast goo with the predd
@MercuryProTeam At this point, I'm out of the tournament fishing scene and more focused on family oriented stuff. A Lund would be a good boat to take the family and dog out. Not like I need speed anymore.
@cwelkman first off Triton boats are turds that's why you never see them in tourneys,Ranger boats are over rated and yes I have owned Ranger,Triton "make's a great ski boat" and Champion.I currently own a 03 Skeeter and fish many AZ tourneys so shut the F$%$ up you obviously have never owned any of the boats mentioned.
Skeeter Boats ! " There Is No Substitute" The rest of you whining, crybaby, Skeeter wannabee,s can just take your scrap fiberglass junk and eat my wake !
They all get ya there in the end, but if you wanna get there with style and the best ride ever then get you a Legend Alpha. I rode in one of these at Lake Fork with a guide. Wow, I cannot imagine anything being even close to this ride. It was a 2009 Alpha series. It was damn sexy, that's for sure. Smooghthest boat I have ever been on. Expensive though. I should sell the house and just live on one of these at the lake. Lol
yeah legends a good boat, and they do ride very smooth! the only problem with a legend is that they are the same people that made hawk and cobra boat, they have some small stress crack issues, other then that they're awesome.
Man you sure got sucked into all the ranger hype didn't ya? Every ranger I've been in has been slow and rough. They fish good, because they are so wide, but they suffer in the ride department and they are slow IMO. .
i have a glass craft (defunct company was out of malden, mo) piece of crap boat rated for a 115 i have a 88 200 hp johnson it will run about 105-109 mph wouldn't trade it for the world
thats a good price. I got layed off in Feb to. Hopefully I'll be back soon. I'm in the market for an 05+ ZX200 or ZX225. I like my champion, but it drafts to much water and is slower than a skeeter
hes came down like 1500.00bucks im hoping i will go back to work soon!i qualify for that TAA what ever it is where the state will send me to school for free.
Thats not the only reason. Skeeters draft less water and ride ok. I like my champion and its between skeeter and champion. Ranger is out of the question and a stratos is possible, but I'd have to fish in 1 first.
Thats taking a step back. You will regret it. I have a 1990champion 20' 200hp johnson GT that i wouldnt trade for nothing! They dont make them like that anymore.
if speed is all you are looking for i'd go with a stratos but as far as all around fishability i'd go with a skeeter. but i cant say much about champs because i haven't fished out of many of them.
yeah i had a nitro it was a piece of CRAP i just got a skeeter zx175 its the single console version of that boat with a 175 and we got it up to 70 on good water it rides sooo much smoother than those crappy entry level nitro's
skeeters are the best, I have owned two of them,and one ranger, the ranger would not handle rough water,,skeeters could hold up to anything I could dish out,,
nitros are JUNK ive been in many boats skeeters are the best riding handling driest boats on the water today my skeeter bug will make the nitro roll over and beg stop it hurts take a ride in one and u will be sold.NITRO BOYYYYYYYYYYYY you for sure have never road in a real boat SKEETERS ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
have you ever been in a champion. I think you'll find that a 19' champion will be drier, smoother and better handling than any 21ft skeeter out there.
I sold my Ranger 2 weeks ago after riding in a Skeeter ZX200 and ZX225 on Lake Wheeler in Alabama and the Wind was blowing and the chop was bad and the boats were a dream ride so I bought one. Thank God for Skeeter E.S.F. p.s. Nitros are junk!!! I have tested all boats except Gambler and Bullet Skeeter Ousted them all!
None of you guys seem to have a clue what you are talking about.....Give me five minutes of you time in my Nitro, and you'll all be walking around with erections! Nitro, by far has the fastest, smoothest, dryest hull in the entire industry!!!!! One ride, and you'll agree!!!
Trust me, I know where they're made. Just not a huge fan of their "tale-tale" hull slap. And even though all lakes can get rough, we can swap notes about Sam Rayburn and Amistad any day you want.
I like sitting IN boats, not ON them. Great looks, and yah, they're fast, but we don't get many pristine days where I fish.
Ah...if only life were a smooth lake with the perfect chop. I, on the other hand, fish in Texas. And I need a boat that won't make a slapping noise when it hits every wave, and will stay on plane when I bust a 180.
Seems you need a Skeeter then. You know since they are made in TX. KY Lake gets as rough as any lake in Texas and I guarantee the Skeeter outride the new rangers. Lead Sled.
Awesome video AND music! Aren't Skeeters just the best! That's an AWESOME BOAT! I own one too and wouldn't have anything else! The VMAX makes them fly...
