The 2018 zx250 is a beast. Bought one a couple weeks ago. I've been in every boat. It's a beast.  thanks this is good to know i am on the fence. 1 Skeeter zx 250 2 phoenix 721 pro 3 Legend v20 Legend v20 for the win! You should go look at them and test drive one if you havent already... but I doubt you have since your still debating on the others... come to Lake Fork and you can test drive my v21... best boat Ive ever had

if you want to drive a boat that is a handful come drive my triton --its a great boat but it is a handful !
you can drive a skeeter zx 250 with your knee while you drink a open cup of coffee and eat 2 donuts ! although triton would probably outrun it

It's a bad mfer trust me Yes and price right now out the door is awesome very nice looking boat Jersey It's actually not man. Add another $10k for Blades, Graphs, ultrex, batteries etc... You are around 75-77 the 65k advertise is not a fishable boat.

Coming from a guy that has never owned a Skeeter only fished out of several... I have to say Skeeter has one of the best fishing platforms of all boats

It's a beast. thanks this is good to know i am on the fence. 1 Skeeter zx 250 2 phoenix 721 pro 3 Legend v20 I had 1046 hours on my legend. It was truly a great boat. But the reality is you can't get parts anymore from legend. Those are facts. If that isn't the writing on the wall, I don't know what to tell you. When the V20 was released I wanted that boat more than anyone, you are crazy if you are going to invest 80k right now in Legend. Pull this post back up in 5 years and prove me wrong. Phoenix is the new legend. Good luck... Ranger and Skeeter aren't going anywhere and neither is the resale value. What parts are you talking about?

About a dozen misc items ranging from the spare tire holder hardware to storage box components, to the floor drain, etc... The message from Legend straight up was we don't carry parts anymore, have a nice day pretty much. The customer service went from A level to D over the past couple of years. Those are facts. You are playing with fire buying a new V20/V21 right now. Beautiful boat but how much longer will they be around for? To my knowledge the only boat they even build anymore in the "Triton plant" is the V.

Skeeters aren't fast enough to chine walk. My z250 hits 74 with the SHO250.

You must not have bought yours from fun n sun. Price they gave me was with an Ultrex, dual poles, batteries and ready to go no where near the price you just listed.

People telling you the Skeeter chine walks apparently don't know what that means! I owned a Triton that would outrun the Skeeter I own now but it would get real slippery underneath you....My Skeeter is incredibly stable and I couldn't ask for a better boat!
