So I have had two ZX200's, 1995 and a 2005. Had twins two years ago and thought I would get out of fishing for a couple of years so sold the 2005 back in July. It wasn't one month and I was bummed by not having a boat.
I have been talking to wife about a Legend and she has ridden in one a couple times and she just could not get away from a Skeeter. I wanted a Legend. She said no. She wanted another Skeeter. So trade off was I could go to a single console if I bought another Skeeter. So I purchased a ZX20 with a 250 SHO single console and I have been impressed. Bumped 74 with it under slight chop full load.
The only issue for me was I went to our local Skeeter dealer and was not happy with the service or sales so I shopped on the Internet and found the exact boat I wanted and negotiated everything over the phone. So I ended up buying out of state and wished I would of gave another Skeeter dealer an opportunity in Texas to sell me a boat that way if I have issues I feel like I may get the right service I needed.
I have been very fortunate to find a Certified Yamaha mechanic that I like and they said they will be happy to take care of the motor.
Good Luck

It's "chine" when referring to bass boat construction and handling. The strakes (ribs) on the bottom of the hull are also referred to as "chines". The rocking right to left that some bass boats exhibit while at speed is referred to as "chine walking".
If I were going to replace my Puma, it would be with another Bass Cat, probably a Puma FTD.

Just for giggles I have a question. When on forums such as this you see less people wanting Rangers or talking about Rangers. Majority of people now are wanting pheonix, basscat, and legend. Why is this hahaha

I just bought a Phoenix and hope it's the last boat I ever buy. I like it more every time I take it out and if I had to do it again it would be another Phoenix.
To whom much is given, much is required.
