I owned a few white river marine products. Best advice is buyer beware and they lack customer service.
Ranger, Triton, Tracker, and Nitro.
If you ever have to send a hull back for fiberglass warranty work good luck.
I am not going to say buy a Nitro over a Skeeter that is for sure as I think the Skeeter is probably an overall better package.
but
I have a 2009 Nitro z7 that after 4 years developed voids in the hull and had to be sent back to factory. It took about 2 months but the process was very simple and I didn't have any trouble from Tracker Marine warranting the repair.
I haven't had and issues since and the boat is still in great shape and runs like a top with The Opti ProXS 175!
Looking at other boats I see the places Nitro kind of cuts corners and one of them is the Trailer! My Nitro trailer is garbage and when compared to guys I fish with that have BassCat's and Rangers there is no comparison.

You are throwing you money away if you buy a Nitro. They are cheap for a reason. Skeeter have their problems as well. Neither of these are the best if you plan on keeping the boat for 10+ years.

Yeah, because they ride like shite and cause back injury. They increased the deadrise on the newer ones to help out.

I bought a Triton aluminum new several years ago. All the paint flaked off of the interior surfaces after about 3 months. They covered it under warranty, but it took over a year and a half to get the boat back! Triton was off my list forever after that.
A family friend bought a brand new Skeeter ZX 200 this spring. It had drill holes in the hull from the factory that were covered by the keel guard! Skeeter refused to replace the hull and didn't even want to warranty it! They had to threaten Skeeter with a lawsuit to somewhat resolve the situation. All Skeeter was willing to do was pay for a glass shop to repair the holes and put a new keel guard on.

Sorry for the late response. Leases never turnover within 30-45 minutes of Benton. I haven't had an open lease in years in Bossier Parish. Your best bet is to find an established lease to join. You could also check with Molpus or Weyerhaeser.

Axe them both and spend your money on a Bass Cat. Thank me later.
