I have a Triton and I agreee 100% in the original posters comments about the Skeeter. I really like Skeeters as well, and probably would have one now but they changed the legroom from the original 2006 model and shortened it in the 2009+ models so that it made is hard/impossible for my long legs to get under there. I even inquried about them putting an older console on boat just to make it roomier, but no haps.
Skketer has ALOT of fishermen friendly options that are very desireable in a bass boat. Really the only thing I didn't like on them were the latch system which seemed to want to pinch my fingers. Very sharp boats and constructed very very well.

I wish Skeeter's livewells were a little bigger. While I'm a Skeeter guy through and through the Champion / Ranger / Nitro / Legend have them beat in the livewell department.

This is directed at no one in particular: Tritons have large livewells 44 gallon capacity, never have a problem keeping fish alive in hot weather. Had a skeeter and in 3 years the console behind the gauge panel broke in 3 different spots. It was busted up so bad that the steering was loose and about to fall out of it. Their consoles are too thin in the gauge area and the livewells are too small. They are pretty boats but I will take a Triton over a skeeter any day of the week. The Triton layout and storage is better and the Triton will drive away from the skeeter with the same engine.

Not quite true Red Skeeter.
There is one boat manufacturer who has built a bigger decked bass boat than all of the others.
And the quality must be pretty good because other than a few scratches I havent harmed it in 2 years now.

And for the record.
Skeeter is a fine boat, I have owned 2 both were fine and I enjoyed both.
Ranger is a fine boat, have owned 4 of them all were fine and I enjoyed all of them.
Bass Cat is a fine boat, have owned 2 of them both were fine and I enjoyed them both

Each boat has its issues but in the end its Ford/Chevy/Dodge get what you like and run it.

Kevin T. sums it up I think, personal preference... Paul Jeffcoat made some valid points which I agree with. A couple years ago, a friend and I visited a boat dealership in our area to look at a new Skeeter. We drove away amazed that Skeeter allowed one of their boats to leave the factory in the shape it was in. As Paul stated, loose carpet trim in a few spots, several other minor issues throughout. Just disappointed that a new boat with a $40k price tag already needed some repairs. These are cosmetic mind you, but it is unacceptable to buy anything new that needs repairs or any attention to fix what should have been done right before leaving the factory. I have owned several new Skeeters and Rangers in my time and never saw this in past years. I love the looks and fishability of Skeeter, just wish the factory quality/detail delivery inspection was better.

Skeeter is a nice boat.They have nice colors to choose from. I myself think that thay need to do better with the latches. For guys like me with big hands they r a pain in the a$$.
