2020 Skeeter ZX200 Review

[@tomcaldwell5914]

I’m ordering one this week. Glad I ran across your video.

[@411sponge72]

Have you got your rig yet? If so, how do you like it?

[@tomcaldwell5914]

@@411sponge72 Did go that week planning to order one and after a couple of more weeks checking things out, I decided to go with a Phoenix 721 Pro XP…….and put a 250 Merc on it, 36v Minn Kota Ultrex w/Spot Lock, 2 Power Pole Blades, and a 12” MSI Humminbird at the console and a 10” MDI at the bow. It’s being built now and I hope to pick it up in about a month. I’m sure the Skeeter is a good boat, though.

@@tomcaldwell5914 very nice!! Congrats on your new rig! I love Phoenix boats! They are some of the best riding boats out there.

[@tomcaldwell5914]

@@411sponge72 Thanks! There’s some really good boats being built right now and both boats I considered were on that list. Skeeter and Phoenix sell a lot of boats and both companies have a lot of loyal customers.

Love that boat!! Im thinking about getting the Z200 myself. How much do dealers discount the “takeoff” electronics? Im also thinking abt getting at least one power pole, i wonder if dealers have any takeoff or used power poles?

[@thebassaddiction4332]

They do have power pole takeoffs. All about timing. They gave me half for my factory takeoffs and half for the ones I upgraded to that someone swapped out for lowrance

How well does your truck pull it? What does the whole package weigh?

[@DavidMccallister65]

How tall are you? I'm 6'5" wondering about leg room in the cockpit

[@thebassaddiction4332]

I'm 6'1 and have never thought about it. Plenty of room to spare

[@Jay_Wood]

I’m 6’5 as well. My buddy has the same boat as this one and I can drive it no problem. I feel your pain in looking for a boat that has a console high enough for guys like us.

[@livingthedream29]

Are the steps on the trailer up front standard?

[@thebassaddiction4332]

Yup. Comes with it

[@timg185]

What is the name of the color ?

Top speed? Loaded

Hey Cody. I run around at 70 by myself when just out fishing. In a tournament with livewells full and a tank of gas around 67. About 65 with a parter fully loaded down.

@@thebassaddiction4332 Thanks man can't make my mind up if I want to go with the 200 or 225.

[@thebassaddiction4332]

I had to go with 200 to fit it in my garage. You can't go wrong either way.

[@jackyang356]

Was that $57k plus the upgrades?

[@thebassaddiction4332]

No that was including the dual console, the original console upgraded to a helix 12 mega di and the bow upgrade to a 10 inch helix.

[@jackyang356]

@@thebassaddiction4332 Nice. I'm thinking about getting the same boat. Love your boat, Sir.

[@thebassaddiction4332]

I am selling mine. It's a great boat, but just had a kid. So it has to go
