OVER / UNDER! SKEETER FXR20 APEX BUILD REVIEW ($$$$$!)

[@tommyodumprotentialfishing5364]

Let's see a xpress x21. Also I'd love to see a review of the Suzuki 200 ss with the recent lower unit changes. Great job guys!

[@scotttaylor4566]

Or AVX 2080 Vexus

[@leojeidy1143]

Perhaps after were done with the glass boats they can do the same with tin boats. Would be greatly appreciated.

[@kyleseiffert8665]

I got the 2021 fxr21 limited with dual console, cover, hydraulic jack plate, lock-r-bar, and installed a garmin 1222 and livescope up front with the helix stacked by dealer and was right at 78k. I had every option the apex had except Apex you could swap for solix graphs and it has a different finish non gel coat i believe. I agree with Andy for the money that you spend on these boats the consumer should be able to get whatever configuration they want.

[@ddm62571]

Just did a online build for a Vexus VX20 with the same options and it came out to $82,966. I like the Vexus a little better too.

[@danscholes9132]

Your straight shooting is great. 👍 In addition to your champions, maybe a series of suggestions for updating older bass boats or keeping them going. That would be helpful for guys on a budget .

I speced out a fx20 a couple years ago on the website. 102,000 with basically the same options as you guys (just older versions) and the important options like bilge and stuff. More than a 2021 ranger, TWO years ago!

[@billbeard7909]

I have color option 4 on order. I don't disagree that it is a high priced boat. I don't though know how you got your price. i priced mine on their website, and added dual console, cover, opted for 15" solix at the console and 12" solix at the bow for $79.9. I ordered while they were offering the $2,500 rebate and last year's price. Some day it will actually be delivered.

[@richardbranton2780]

I fished a bass tournament the other day at a lake I've never been to or didn't know anything about. I went to unload my boat and it wouldn't start. I just pushed it off the trailer dropped the trolling motor and started fishing. I won big fish and first place. $90000 boats flew passed me all day.

[@midgebarker4022]

I'll never be able to pay these boat prices but I tip my hat to those that can. Skeeter is a fine boat.

[@stevemolina8801]

The more stuff we pile on our boats the more there gonna cost. I can understand a pro wanting 4 graph units, but as a weekend tourney guy I am not gonna toss another 4K out there. And I think you might think on including Trucks, Ya gotta get the thing to the lake. Theirs another 50k!

[@TeamMarineService]

Yeah we hear ya! We based this all off of what we'd get to fish competitively! Oh and yeah, let's not forget about the truck as well!!!

[@Bogeypro256]

Apex basically comes with everything... you had many of those as options, but were standard. You need to talk with a dealer and get educated on the packages. Comes with 460pc charger, dual raptors, full pad deck, radio, sea deck, 15 at dash, 12 at console, Hamby's, etc... it's all included in the apex package.

[@TeamMarineService]

Yep for 90k+

[@kktx4058]

The $91K is the MSRP on the website but the current offered price that dealers sell you the boat for on the website is $79K for FXR20 Apex.

[@TeamMarineService]

You are correct Keith! We have been basing the series off of the final MSRP on the website. Sure the dealers will sell it at a lower price and we've found that there are some pretty wide price differences between dealers across the country. We tried to limit the variables here by choosing or trying to choose the same units and the same of everything else while also basing the comparisons off of the final MSRP but there's only so much you can do. 👍🏻

I just ordered mine with the same configuration (2x 12 Helix on front, 2x 10 Helix on console, second console, lithium batteries, mega 360, boat cover, hydraulic jack plate) and I was out the door for $91k
