I have been a Skeeter fan since our first one back in the early 70's ( bathtub ) up to the one I own now. It hurts to see the company go corporate and allow only a very limited number of color schemes (8) on the new boats, no more customizing it to be your boat. I am going to be in the market for a new boat soon, and if they stick to that policy, I see a Bass Cat in my color choice sitting in the boathouse Peace and Bent Rods Dale Bass Cat does some awesome color combinations. I recently bought a used Bass Cat and would love to get a new boat in the future. Bass Cat will be first on my list, they seem like an outstanding company. I like how they interact on their forum and answer questions. They have so many color combinations it would be hard to choose. Allison makes a nice boat also. A friend has owned one in Tennessee for many years and it still looks great and it's been a great boat. I think they are all good but I don't like the limited color combinations.

Another reason for me to stay with Legend! Custom built boats! How many color choices does ford offer in that powerstroke your driving? Iam back in a chevy now! Chevy offers plenty of colors!

throw a custom wrap on it and make it what color you want That's one of the reasons why manufactures are making cookie cutter boats. The PROs are wrap theirs so there is no need to highlight all color options. Plus at the factory they can schedule Wednesdays as color opt B day.

So, Diamond drops Triton (in the family) and adds Skeeter. Ok! Someone said that puts two dealers close together... Closer than Plano - Hurst? What other dealer is there besides Tyler?

You can still choose your own color combination in the FX Series. The FX LE is a complete package that is a nationally advertised price. You can build your own FX with any color that is offered by Skeeter.

Tyler, Marshal, Longview, Plano, Ft Worth, Cleburne, and now Lake Fork plus Shreveport. That's a lot of dealers in what used to be a 2 or 3 dealer territory. Plano Marine has 2 locations and so does Fun N Sun and H&W. So between Ft Worth and Shreveport there are 7 dealers. If any of these have dropped Skeeter I'm not aware of it.

OK who's picked up Triton now? Good question, I been running them since 1998, North Texas Marine has been my dealer actually since 1984, ran Rangers from them too, I was going to go back to a Ranger since there is not a dealer around here, then I got a letter in the mail from Triton telling me they were going to give me a new boat, apparently they had some kind of delamination problems, my boat was perfect but I did not want to argue with them, so now I will be picking up a 2017 TRX 21 from Texas Boat World, really nice folks but I really do not want to have to drive that far for service, as long as NTM can service my engine and Borris Marine can take care of my electronics I should be ok.
