who do i make the check out to?

Reminds me of a Steve Wariner song. Look if you pay $20,000, and it depreciates 50%, it only costs you $10,000. If you pay $70,000, and it depreciates 50%,it costs you $35,000.

The poopy part of the "buying the boat" syndrome. Is now your $60,000 dollar King Ranch, needs to be replaced with one of those F650's Customized, $100K rigs. And your wife is still eyeing new furniture.........IT JUST NEVER STOPS!!!

My first Skeeter, a Wrangler with a 150 Mercery was $7,800, ny next was a Skeeter Starfire in 1984 and it was $13,600, my next was a ZX (I forget the year) and it was $24,000 +-, and then.... and then.... now it's a 2007 21-I and it was about $40,000+

Up .... Up.... and Up

Whatever the market will bear.

Of course I will admit there have been some wonderful changes in many, many ways. At 57 mph my Skeeter Wrangler was one of the fastest aroud but it had some "chime walking" times and they were an experience and if you could fight through them .... they were FUN!!!

Electronics have changed tremendously!

Fuel & oil injection is a vast improvement!

Better comfort!!

Better fuel economy!

Much, much safer!!!!!

GPS!!

on and on and on !!!!!!!!!!!!

Buy hey, spinnerbaits were like $1.50, crankbaits were $2.00, worms were $3.00 for a hundred pack, graphite and boron rods were less than $40 bucks, swimbaits (of the day) were $2.00 for a pack of 15 .................

Times are a changin'!!!!!!!!!!

Phew. Not me. I imagine if I were a pro I'd be interested.

Thats more than I paid for my waterfront lake house. The only reason thet cost that much is causr they know there are people dumb enough to pay it

really sad part is people will finance that boat and end up paying 100k in the end, I'll continue to let someone else take the hit on depreciation and then buy it used when the next "gotta have" boat comes out

The boat is not $71K. Skeeter designed the "FX" to optimize the power of the new 4-Stroke motor. The boat is to be released at the Bassmasters Classic. The public should be able to take delivery of orders after that. This is going to be one of the best bass boats ever because of the hull being made to match the power output of the motor.

Can you exapnd upon those changes, is that information released yet? Just curious why that had to redesign a boat for a 225hp engine that weight approx the same. Not bashing, just curious what bthe diffs are between the I class and the FX.

They could have left it the same and bolted the new 4-stroke to it, but they redesigned the hull to optimize the power the SHO puts out. There are cosmetic changes to the consoles to look simular to the engine cowlings of the Yamaha SHO. Specific inch and degree numbers of the boat have not been released yet...Santa Claus can't even get one of these boats

Does anyone know what the hull weight is on the FX21?

I can't afford that much.

Since everyone is going to want the NEW design and motor, where will all the 1-3 year old ZX's be available at? Need to upgrade--but not bankrupt!!!
