I was in a great mindset til Shanda mentioned BLT sandwichs, Ice Cream, and a movie..........then that Phoenix was a rope back to the ramp! Yours didn’t come with a fuel gauge From what I heard that was an option and he optioned not to use it Accurate! I watched from the shade tree while he trolled at 3mph in the heat!

I think you should change your handle to flipping the DOUBLE bird since you now run a pheonix FIFY Does that bow roller you found at ivie fit the new one?.......

I've owned a Skeeter and fished out of several Phoenix boats. It's not even close. Phoenix for me. Better boat, better design, and better customer service. Phoenix is the only boat that might could get me out of my Bass Cat.

I bough my Skeeter in 2018 new. 0 issues!! Have over 240hrs on it. Now I don't run WFO everywhere I go, but I do open her up frequently. It all goes how you maintain them them. I see guys that are very hard on their boats and in a few years there are replacing a powerhead or lower unit and other things. They pull em out of the water and never clean them. In a couple years the boat looks 10yrs old. They are to expensive (now) to replace every few years. As far as which is better, I feel it comes down to preference and features. They can all last if you maintain them. I mean really, how long does it take to wipe one down to get the grime off. Takes me bout 10-15 min and the boat looks like it new.

I had a ZX and FX Skeeter, there will not be a third. Way too many issues compared to other boats I've had. Currently in a 2016 Triton 20TRX. Happy with it. Have looked at the Phoenix , particularly 920Pro XP. If I ever get another boat this will be it.
Catch em, kiss em, let em go

I will never buy another new Skeeter. The fit/finish on my 2015 is/was a joke. Every nut/screw possible has fallen out at some point. A squirrel could have pulled off better cable management under the helm. Just a bunch of "stuff" where it is completely obvious that whomever at the factory couldn't have cared less about doing it.
