If you buy a Skeeter, Google Stress Cracks
If you buy a Ranger, Google Bankruptcy. Now that's great!!!

I have a 20 ft Nitro, and what I like about it is smooth ride in rough water, tons of storage, large casting decks. The only thing I dont like is having to launch by my self.

-having the electronics I need!
-also having a good trolling motor that will hold me on spots during windy days
- it might not be the biggest or fastest on the water but it gets me to my spots, keeps me dry, and gets me back to the ramp
If I had to do it all over I would get somthing longer, 19-20ft, with atlest a 200hp but thats because of tournaments. If I was just fishing for fun all the time a 17.5-18.5 with 100hp or more would be just fine

Buy a 20ft boat with a 225 on it ,so you will not out grow it
This size boat has everything you want There are tons of great used boats at great prices on the market ,shop around the extra work will pay off ,don't jump on the first ok deal you see.
Skeeter has everything you are looking for plus they are still in business,you can fish the Skeeter owners tournament and they are proven boats,there is not a lake in America that a 20 Skeeter can not handle ,and in style ...the most important
is the hull and motor if you buy old enough you may have to replace the trolling motor just figure that in 36 volt of course
Very true statement. I have the ZX225 with a Yamaha 225 and wouldnt change anything, very few problems and nothing major yet. I would buy the same boat again with out hesitating. What I like best about it is the room it offers. No one has mentioned the hydraulic steering and I think that is a must, alot safer and alot more comfortable.

"The thing you like best about your boat is.... Dependability and toughness, my boat has to stand up to a busy tournament schedule year after year.. I keep my rides for a good long while, I don't believe in turning them every 1-2 yrs like some. I want to get my moneys worth from my investment.. The seller of this boat is a very knowledgeable angler. If he says the boat is top notch and it is in the age group your looking for ---I wouldn't pass on it. http://texasfishingforum.com/forums/ubbt...5_Optima#UNREAD
