This Skeeter has all the livewell controls at the bow which is very rare.

Phoenix bass boat vs skeeter. I looked hard at used rangers and phoenix bass boats. This Skeeter is extremely fast for an 18 footer. Skeeters have good resell value some brands will boast higher resale but they also run 10-30k more.

To me the difference is daylight and dark. Because of the excessive speed the boat requires a unique design. It comes with a powerful 112-pound thrust electric trolling motor with foot pedal and an outboard motor that lets you hit 703 miles per hour.

The tackle layout in my skeeter was simple and organized but kind of small compared to my Phoenix. If this is your first visit be sure to check out the FAQ by clicking the link above. It has a very good ride and will turn on a dime.

Sep 12 2014 10. The Step Assistant Handle comes with. I narrowed the Contenders to TWO.

I also have owned Ranger and Skeeter and now have a Puma FTD. As far as quality goes the Phoenix. Of course since Yam owns Skeeter that all you can get on the bug boat.

Pheonix looks good 9 series has a huge front deck as well 7 series is skinnier and faster. The Skeeter FX R 21L brings it all to the table. The Cats ride ALOT better I like the layout and storage better than any other boat I have been in and BassCat treats you like family.
