Does Skeeter make a good CC bay boat?

I know they are widely respected for their bass boats, but what about their bay boats?

Yes, real good.

Great boat, pricey when I looked at them, and that was before the market got crazy with COVIDIOCY.

I will have a 24 one day. And not financed for 20 years either.
Like actually afford one.

Have an 24’ 2007 960 hours and been a great boat. Wiring is nowhere near the top brands but if can work on wiring all else is good.

I know a guy who has a 24 foot and it is a great hull. I have been 30 miles offshore in it and its as good as most 24 foot deep v CCs. I prefer the higher gunwales of a deep v but on the right day that skeeter is plenty of boat...
I can't speak to its inshore fishability but I have been on a bunch of skeeter bass boats and I would think it would fish shallow as well as their bass boats do....

I have a 21’ and love it. It allows me to do whatever I want with a boat. Can’t go wrong in my opinion.

I have read where the older ones might have had transom issues but not sure what years. May be something you want to look into if purchasing one with some years on it. Have never been on one but they loook nice and I like the layout.

I had a ZX22 for 15 years. Great boat. The access wasn't the best but pretty much as good as you were going to get from an older production boat.

Buyer's remorse?
Posted on 12/17/20 at 12:12 pm to tigerinthebueche
I have a 2012 ZX22bay and have no complaints

It has been a while back but I rode in a 24' a few times and it was a good ride. However, I have also heard about the wiring, not sure if that has been improved.

I have 2006 ZX2200. Boat is a stud. My hull is a lot heavier than the new hulls which makes it handle rough seas pretty good. It’s not a speed demon but it handles very well.
Boat still shines and cleans up well. Could probably sell it for more than I paid for it!

No. Saw one and was just wondering about them. I’ve got access to a Pathfinder and a Blackjack if I’m so inclined. No need to buy one. (At this point).

I recommend a Skeeter bay boat too. I’ve had a Skeeter ZX20 Bay for a few years and it has been great for my needs. The front and rear deck layout of the Skeeter is what sold me on the 20ft. boat. I can fish 3-4 people comfortably all day. It handles the chop well cutting across the bay and doesn’t take on any water. It drafts in about 10-12 inches of water. It doesn’t have all the bells and whistles, but it’s built well and has been a very reliable boat. I pull it with a V6 truck with no problem.

BlackJacks are nicer, by far. Frontiers are nice too, they just top out a 21' and are a little stripped down, still quality boats made by the Kenners. I wouldn't hesitate to buy any Kenner made boat.

I like them both cause I didn’t pay for them lol.
