If someone says a Skeeter chime walks theyve never driven one. Ive had multiple and just bought a 2018 zx250 and love it as much as my other skeeters. Best part is the new Skeeter trailers.

so the trailers have really upgraded [/quote/] Yes they make their own trailers now and probly the best trailer Ive ever seen. The boat has a lifetime structural warrany to alleviate any concerns. Would be tough to be in business almost 50 years if they had issues. 3 year component warranty and I️ got 5 year warranty on the motor

For all around work horse, I would go with the bug. But that's just me. Have no fear, the V20 guys will be along shortly to dispute this.

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.

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 !
