Skeeters are great boats I have a 2009 ZX 200 and its a great boat great holeshot if not the best decent in rough water the I-class and new FX are better in rough water the FX will be my next boat for sure. Now for Basscat I have 2 buddies that have Pumas and they are great boats as well really good rough water boats alot more to learn in driving one compared to Skeeters you cant go wrong with either one of these boats.

I have an older Skeeter 93 and its awesome in rough water. I was on Conroe about a month ago on a Sunday and there were tons of boat and waves coming from every direction and I never had to let off the throttle had to trim the motor up and down a little but the it was way better than the Cajun boat I had before that boat would beat you to death.

Skeeter needs to revamp their trailers. Too many guys the bunks rotten too quick. Rusting all over. They are having to rebuild the pad on a bunch of the first I class hulls because of ruff ride.

I have sold both and currently work for a skeeter dealer. I will say i still lean toward the cats. You are rite about having to learn how to drive a basscat but both are fine built boats.

Plus I spend most of my time fishing not driving it and far as that goes Skeeter has hands down the best platform for fishing IMO. I like the way Cats ride and handle water but dont like the platform for fishing and layout which is what I really want in a boat.
