ZXR21 ordered today - 12/11/20 08:09 PM
Don’t post much here, but I am around quite a bit. Took the plunge and ordered a ZXR21 today color opt #1. Several upgrades as well, hyd JP, 2nd power pole, deck lights, 12” helix on the bow and 2 extra sit down fishing seats for crappie fishing.
Super excited as this is my first new boat, upgrade from a 93 Ranger 372 which I will give to my son when he is ready in a couple years. This will give us plenty of room to take the whole family out as well. Next year my son will be fishing the high school tournaments, so this will set us up with a safe, dependable right for the kids.

Do you have a son named Colby by chance?

I have a 2016 ZX 250. I'm getting a hankering to get an FXR. My wife is not keen on it.

Congrats.
One thing I have to say, if you are buying a top of the line boat like that, is it me, or does it seem crazy that it does not come standard with BOTH Power Poles? Just a thought...

The FXR is Skeeter's premier series. The ZXR is priced considerably less and you still get a ton of features. I bought a 2021 ZXR20 in September and love it. I added second Power Pole and still same in way under the FXR pricing. They share same hull just different top caps. I am not a fan of touchpads or fiberglass fenders so I chose ZXR over FXR.

Not sure that saying is true with me lol. My 372 Ranger my Dad bought new in 93, I was just 18 years old. He pasted away away when I was 22, I could never sale that boat, my son will take it over and I don’t care how much money I sink into to make sure it is safe and will get him back in. All of the memories are priceless

My dealer called this morning, they said they are expecting it in the morning. Good timing it was ordered for stock months ago, just so so happens it is the exact same one I was ordering....

I would like to see closer pics of the new in house built trailers. My boat before last was a skeeter and I said I wouldn't buy another as long as they used ez loader trailers but it seems that has been remedy

The Skeeter built trailer on my 2019 ZX250 was VERY, VERY nice. Well built. The trailer on my 2021 ZXR20 is just as good. I think its probably the easiest loading trailer I have owned. In my opinion from someone that has owned a bunch of Skeeters they Skeeter trailers are a big step up from the EZ Loaders.

Re: ZXR21 ordered today - 12/16/20 04:49 AM
I haven’t even took deliver yet, but I really went over the trailer and it looks bullet proof. I like the steel fenders more than the glass for the long haul. I was dead set on the FXR until I started thinking about what would be easier to take care of in 10 years and cost. Right now the trailer is the last thing on this I am worried about

Bowtech32 that is the best selling color option. We have sold 7-8 of those now over the other colors we have. There sold before showing up! U will love the boat. The new trailers seem to be holding up great!

I met one of the guys in charge of the trailer shop last year at Toledo. They take a ton of pride in what they do...Was impressed listening to him explain the quality control measures they have in place. Their goal is to build you a trailer you never have to touch beyond putting tires on it. They took all those years of complaints about the EZ Loaders and engineered a pretty darn good product.

Have any contact info, will they custom build trailers for older boats?, my current trailer is about on its last leg.

That boat will still be fishing long after the Skeeter is in Heaven.

You are probably right, one tough boat. If there is a bullet proof boat the Ranger 300 series are it.
