Went to the boat show this weekend and decided I really like the looks/setup of Skeeters. What's the OB's opinion on them?

We have a late 90's model and it is still great

floats high and makes it easy to fish reds in the marsh

Nothing specifically. I'd just rank boats like Triton, Ranger, Everglades ahead of them. Skeeter is a pretty good boat.

A friend of mines Dad has one and I have fished out of it many times, really like it. It is a heavy boat.

Nothing wrong with them. Was about to buy one then decided on the shearwater instead. As far a production line boat would rank them in them in top 5

My dad's good buddy has one and I like it. Like somebody said earlier, it is great fishing in the marsh

I would rather a ranger than a skeeter. that being said, I would gladly take either one.

Fished out of my buddy's 24' last year and loved it. He has it rigged out with a T-top. Not sure how I feel about the T-top but I loved the boat.

Never fished out of one, but a guy had one at the office last week and they are big. A 24 skeeter dwarfs my 24 PF

They are very big. I pulled it from Greater Geismar to Big Lake and I knew it was back there for sure.

There you go with that crap again. You must have one that you're ready to get rid of.

He has weird tastes for sure. Carolina Skiffs, Vans, Dodge, and fat black women.

Creepy Like Sandusky, but the shoes are legit for fishing

I used to be a mechanic and other than the Cummins, they're crap.
