Drooled on this one at the Salem NH outdoor show today. Skeeters had
already made my short list of next-boats, but this thing about sealed it. Stuff it has, but my current boat sorely lacks: 75 additional ponies 2' length 18" beam rod lockers that you could sublet several gasketed dryboxes prolly 15+ mph room for a third passenger every box, including livewells is lit hyd steering cooler! Things it should have had, IMO: hyd jackplate (it had a ~12+ setback, manual adjust jackplate that looked damn solid, not to mention stem mounted trim/tilt and hotfoot throttle) better console sonar (never been a flasher user, too late to change now) well for the elec motor control rounded livewells no wood in the transom Features that popped out at me: decent trailer nicely planned electric system finish (tho this one had some show marks on it) excellent rep demonstrating (Keith Snyder @ Irwin Marine Hudson NH) the decks are removable with minimum hassle for major rerigging if required there is next to no wasted space in this boat - really unbelievable how much acreage there is for storage and fishing they have knocked the weight out with the cap construction The boat has an aluminum stringer system - any good/bad word on this? Skeeter has been using aluminum braces for some time - did early boats have flex problems? I have no financial interest (YET) in this company, Sorry about the drool marks if ya buy the show boat, Eric |
