I've owned a Top Tenner and a Procraft in the 70's. Quit boat fishing for about 8 years while kids and work were my main focus.
I owned one Skeeter and 3 Rangers starting in 1987 till I bought my used Allison in 2005.

I still own the Allison and my only wish is for a larger one.

It's not new but new to me, I got a 20i this year, you talk about impressed with a ride I am! My last was a Triton, I have friends with Ranger, Legend, Basscat, Stratos and a brother in law with a 210 Champion and I've been in all of them on Amistad during rough conditions. I may give up a few miles per hr loaded in my Skeeter but in my opinion there's no comparison in the ride, if I had to pick another it would be the 210 Champion. Just my opinion for what it's worth which probably isn't much.

I've been in many boats.... They are all nice these days. I'll probably stick which skeeter. My cousin has a legend but the deck Is not wide enough for me, although I did see on their website they are making a wider one now. I love the ride of a ranger but I'm not paying that much for a new one. I've never had the chance to ride in a bass cat but i see the price tag on them. I feel the zx is a great boat for the $$$$

Have owned an Astro, 2 Skeeters, and a Triton. I have ridden and fished in just about all conditions in Bass Cats, Rangers, Champions, and Nitro's. They all have qualities that stand out but when when it comes to the most important part (at least for me) of troll motor down and actually fishing out of a boat, nothing comes to close to Skeeter. I feel like I am on the deck of an aircraft carrier. So unless they change their design, Skeeter is gonna be my first choice.


Everything on your bass boat is broken......You just don't know it yet.

Legend, Phoenix or Basscat are on my list. I currently own a Z118 its a 2012. Im going to get alot of slack for this but, im not happy with it all the carpet is peeling up, the ignition has been replaced twice all the foam in the seats have shifted, my console was spider cracked from factory and all the rubber pads are falling. So cosmetically its [censored] and I don't know if I want a other. The boat rides nice but the quality control got to.have to step up.

I just picked up my 2014 Fx21 from Fun N Sun in Hurst. Great Dealer staff was awesome Fain is who I worked with. The boat is second to none, great to fish out of and a joy to be in.

So I say stay with Skeeter but maybe try the Fx series.

I gotta ask. What is a "non American boat"?

Hopefully the one I have now will last me as long as I can still fish. It is 22 yrs old now, so maybe I can get another 22 yrs out of it. But if I were going to buy another one it would be a Ranger 518 or 519.

I have fished out of just about all of them with the exception of an Allison, and am currently a Skeeter owner. Next boat will definitely be another Skeeter, an FX21 is what I see in my future.


I am not making any decisions until the bourbon kicks in!
