With this boat, you’re going to get a 20″ engine shaft, a boat that’s 20’2″ and then when you’re looking at weight, this boat only weighs 1725lbs and can carry 1550lbs, which looking at the original weight is a nice thing to know that you’re going to be able to carry what you need to without having to worry that much, which is something that I like at least. You can take your friends with you and trust that you’re still going to have enough room for everything.
Take your pick
Well, we’ve gone over the models that Skeeter has, but in the end, it’s always up to you. If this has some of the accessories that you want, then that’s great. That’s something that you can lead with when you’re looking out for the perfect boat.
Skeeter has been number one in the industry for almost seven decades. They are trying to engineer their boats in a way that no other manufacturer can come close to. They have a list of things that Skeeter was the first of, including the first U.S. Coast Guard-approved bass boat, so that’s interesting.
There’s a lot more information that you can find on the Skeeter website that can possibly help you with your decision if you’re someone that’s more company based. Going to their front page, you can immediately see all the things that they are proud of, which can be good for their company.
The way that these boats are made are really well done. When looking at the features and specs you’re going to get something that’s really consistent in regards to width and such. Which is something that you might not want to compromise on. The models that all have the same beam are definitely more appealing to me, and I’m not even in the market for a boat!
If you’re still in the market for the boat even after looking at this article, that’s totally okay, in fact, that would be expected. You don’t want to settle on the first boat that you come across that has all the features that you would like. Maybe the company doesn’t stand for what you want, or the material isn’t what you were looking for. Regardless, don’t settle.
