Same advice that I would give in terms of trim, plane, and speed. The same held true with my 04 ZX225 and now on my 18 FX21.

I fish 8lb Pline Tactical on Stradic 3000 CI4+ all spring. Follow the instructions for spooling that came with the Stradic and you’ll be in great shape. With that being said, you won’t get away with...
Not trying to hijack the thread- When you guys are running your motor that high (ie 2”p2p), do you get any issues with the boat being incredibly hard to steer? I have a Skeeter 21FX with a 250 SHO....
Do yourself a favor and buy a ratchet that breaks at the neck so that you can angle the handle upwards a little. Makes is way easier to access.
It’s definitely a drain. 31 class cranking battery a must at that point and frequent runs on your big motor don’t hurt.
What he said!
I’m with the OP. Coming out of an older ZX225, I really miss having that small compartment below the shifter. Was super handy for putting hats, safety glasses (night time running), and whatever else...
Now that BASS changed the rod length rules, the rod companies are releasing some longer models. Has anyone used any of the oversized casting rods, particularly one that is geared for bigger cranks?...
Check out the stickies. There’s one in there for making a custom dash mount for your graph. I did it with my 04 ZX225 and was very happy with it. Should be exactly the same with a ZX250.
Between the extra weight and the limited options for storing options between slats, I just took mine out.
Stick with the 89 and you’ll be fine.

Shimano Zodias rods get my nod.
I’m taking my new FX21LE over to Kentucky to get rigged with Precision Sonar brackets next week.
I believe you are right. A quick call to the factory and my dealer had it fixed in no time. Now its time to break in the motor!
Man, I hope that is the issue! The idea of a long downtime from sending it back to the factory for a major issue is terrible to even think about.
Just got my new FX21 at the end of last week and was transferring my tackle into it over the weekend. When I step on the front section of the deck (just in front of the center compartment hinge), I...
Yeah, I hope I don’t regret leaving the poles off, but I spend way more time in open water over here in the Ozarks. I went with the 52” shaft Ultrex, so that will be my go to “anchor.”
I hear what...
I bought it through Bella Vista Marine in NW Arkansas. Great dealership that just signed on with Skeeter earlier this year. Mark is the owner and he’s great to work with! He found this boat in stock...
Very excited- just picked up my 2018 FX21LE in the Cobalt color! I've been running an '04 ZX 225 since I bought it new. I repowered it with an SHO a couple years back and just had to take the next...

I'm looking at buying an '18 FX21LE. Does this boat come with e NMEA backbone already in place?
The 7'4" MH Cranking rod is a beast for throwing a buzzbait. Couldn't be happier with it. Gotta believe it would be great for ripping Traps.
