Thread starter jheeziee Start date Mar 27, Joined Mar 4, Messages Where can i get them from, skeeter only or what. Joined Jun 8, Messages Re: 96 skeeter zx compartment latches I also have the same problem and don't have an answer for you yet BTW, what size motor have you got and how does it perform?
I can't wait to get in the FX Series. The Yamaha is everything it is cracked up to be. That is one team that has all of their eggs in a row.
All I can say is "WOW! And about the only thing I can say about the VMax is that it's just unbelievable. I have had it up to around mph but I have yet to bring 'er to 70 mph. If you're looking at a ZX or any other Skeeter for that matter, there is no need to look at any other brand. When on plane, handles a tight 90 degree turn at 70 mph with no skipping or skimming. It is only my second boat but a world of difference from my Stratos.
More than plenty of storage. With all that gear and 26 gal of fuel I can be up on pad and running 60 mph in seconds. Dislikes : The compartments under the seats leak during heavy rain, seats could use a little more cushion and a better designed swing tongue. I've only had the boat for 2 years. The EZLoader rep told me that he will see what he can do. I feel they should warranty the fenders at no cost. I bought the boat in '07, it was a dealer demo.
This boat is going down the road. Fishes 4 people easily. Very fast. Run off and leave my tournament group. Dislikes : Not much at all. The driver compartment under the seat isn't water tight and gets wet in heavy rains Won't own anything other than a Skeeter going forward.
Has lots of options, have lots of fun with it. I like my Skeeter. Carries 4 adults very comfortably. Fit and finish are excellent.
Engine starts and runs smooth and is very quiet for the power. Dislikes : Rear seat deck has no water drain and water stands around rear seat cushions. Fast Plane, nice abrupt stop with minimal to no backwash, the motor is a must buy, runs smooth, fuel efficient for its category and overall very pleased with Skeeter and proud to own one.
Dislikes : The floor at first creaked maybe because it was new off the line but stopped after a few weeks, the passenger glove box on single console leaks in heavy rain, the underseat storage leaks in heavy rain and should be used for anchors, ropes, marker buoys, etc.
That's about it. The platform is extremely stable to fish off of. From the dealer with a full tournament load and two men it runs consistently 72 GPS. In a hard turn at high speed there is no roll. Everything about the rig is user friendly. The seats are the most comfortable I have ever sat in. Dislikes : Some of the deck screws under the compartment lids have stripped out.
The electronic locking device has had some problems. The dealer has take care of these in a timely manner so I can't complain. You wanna fish get a Skeeter - you wanna go fast-well you ain't "eatin, sleepin, fishin!! Whoever is? Perhaps most of these things have been modified-improved since , can't say.
Have owned 4 Skeeters since the HP Wrangler. Has decent room and good storage. Handles well on rough water, great value for the dollar. Dislikes : The trailer is not built to last. Skeeter cheaped out by going with EZLoader.
The fenders are rusting out - after less than a year from the bottom up due to being installed too close to the tires per Irwin Marine - authorized dealer and EZLoader won't do anything about it. I am replacing on my own dime. Stickers are peeling off the boat and trailer.
But I did get a great deal on the boat, so it is true, "you get what you pay for". All in all, very happy with the boat, but not the trailer. Hands down from someone that understands boats and trailers, the newer boats and trailers are not build half as well as the older ones. For this reason I have gone back to the older boats when I can find them.
From the plastic latches and the plastic storage inserts to the tubular trailers that rust out from within they just don't compare to the stainless steel latches, fully carpeted and finished off storage compartments and C channel trailers that last forever. I will say that the newer and larger Skeeter boats do ride well in rough water. The primary reason I bought this boat was because it had a Yamaha 4 stroke with only 9 hours on it. My dislikes are many but here are a few that jump right out.
The limited storage space up front hinders the boats performance I love the which the boat is rated for but it would probably ride better with a or less. The cup holders will not accomodate cooler cups and some don't even fit normal size beverage containers.
There are no interior lights The front end of this boat is tough to fish from in the slightest of rough water. The trailer is cheaply made.
Been fishing out of it since For its size it handles rough water ok. The boat is very fast 52 mph for its size. The motor has a very good track record. The only thing done to it was spark plugs and water pumps. The seats and carpet are original. Dislikes : Too short for rough water; in rough water it is more like riding on a waverunner.
The boat in rough water is always airborne. It can outrun many bass boats with 's. It has a very good ride and will turn on a dime.
It has very good amount of storage space. This Skeeter has all the livewell controls at the bow which is very rare. It also is a very stable fishing platform. The Evinrude is very powerful but takes several turns of the key to start.
