Nice boat but I like the look of the current logo over the new one. I'm sure I'll get used to it though Didn't take long. Pretty awesome boat all around. Skeeter wouldn't be my first choice but they're in my top 3

Never ridden in a Skeeter, so can't say what they ride like. The new boat looks really nice, but I just have never liked the way the back end of a Skeeter looks. How Shallow Hal of me!

With the new Mercury four stroke lineup I suspect bass fishing guys will regularly hang a 300 Merc on the transom. So Yamaha will have to follow suit. I recall going to one of those large Oilman's tournaments on Toledo Bend and some guy had a 400. I don't remember what type of boat. But I suspect I'll start seeing any boat that hangs a Mercury will make a 300 HP rated boat. I have a friend who has a home in the Keys and he would love to have one of those 28 to 32 foot boats with at least two of those large engines hung on the transom. Talk about expensive.

All in all new is nice but that boat is not a vast improvement on the old product. Does Skeeter have a 300 HP rated boat yet? It's all about the marketing and the video didn't convince me to want to make a crazy spontaneous I have to have it purchase . If I'm going to spend 80 grand or more on something that runs next year, I'm going to buy the 2020 mid engine Corvette.
My 2015 FX21 is rated 300. I assuned they dropped it with this one because of the lighter weight...

No idea about Skeeter but if I call Phoenix and tell them I swapped to a 300 they will send me a new rating plate...
Also coming soon on the phoenix page ANOTHER new model 818 pro, a 18 footer with a wider deck and the wider console than the 618.. I think that makes 6 new models since 2017 when I bought my boat.

As someone who has been shopping Phoenix's boats, I can say this new Skeeter looks like a better boat but obviously I can not compare the ride between this Skeeter and the P-boats.
