As long as you don't have back problems, Skeeters are great! Just remember, if you get one and don't, you will!  Only if the Skeeter drive can't drive a boat. ...I broke my back in 2008 and the ride of my 20i is great. Even a bad driver can make a great rough water ride suck no matter the brand.

My brother has a skeeter and all the bungy cord is good for is getting hooks hung in it.
That is why I changed mine to the ones shown in the picture. they are a polyurethane and so far have not faded or broke in 18 months. Had them on my last boat as well and they held up well. Besides the bungee cords the only other complaint I have with my skeeters have been the coolers on them. None keep ice long at all.

As long as you don't have back problems, Skeeters are great! Just remember, if you get one and don't, you will! If a ZX250 hurts your back, you are either in the gulf of mexico or a wimp. I have had several women fish with me on rough days and never heard any of them complain.

The one in the floor, not so much.

I know the cooler in Chad's(now Rick's) 2006 Ranger Z21 would hold ice for days even in warmer weather. its probably the best I have seen in a boat.

From ranger and basscat? Really... a company that keeps being bought and resold and a boat that chine walks and tilts side to side when two people are in the boat fishing.
On the bungees being junk, have you tried the new ones, or are you basing this on older models? If they break, they take $3 and 5 minutes to replace. The rod buckles on other boats take $50 and 5 minutes to replace.
Anybody that wants to come fish out of a junk skeeter, call me and we will take your boat for half a day then mine for a half a day and do a complete right up of all pros and cons.

I own USA-1's 05 skeeter and love it. If you know how to drive a boat you can make it ride like it should.
