Looking into Skeeter bass boat. Most likely 19 ft. Anyone have one or know someone with one? Anything bad about them?

I have ridden in a ZX225 several times back during my tournament days. Very nice boat. I liked my Champion better though.

Nothing wrong with a skeeter bass boat. They make a nice solid platform.

Skeeter was the first "bass boat" and started the design of loww to the water stable casting platform boats.

The newer models are built heavy, similar to the Rangers and thus can take a pounding with out the driver feeling it as bad. There is an annual Skeeter owners tournament here at Lake Fork that is a real blast.

Rode in most the big brands. If I was going in 19 foot range it would be bass cat or champion

Know a lot of guys that have them, none of them have anything bad to say. My next one will be a bug, probably the 190 also.

My brother just bought a Legend. 250, two power poles, font/back/side imaging, giant gps ect. I have no idea how much he paid for it other than it being super expensive, but it's the nicest bass boat I've seen. Has really good reviews. Legend will double the money he wins for every tournament too. The tournament he's fishing this weekend, if he wins they'll give him a 60k boat on top of prize money. I would imagine its the same boat he has right now.

My dad bought one of the top of the line Nitros and he hates it. Has had it for a month and has already got it on Craigslist. It looks good but you can tell it isn't nearly the quality of the Legend/Bass Cats/Skeeter/Tritons/Champions. I'd prefer his last Pro Gator over it by a mile.

I'm poor, I want a Jon boat.

Edit: I wouldn't hate on anybody getting a Skeeter. They make a quality boat.
