    Any FXR owners yet??

    I have a 2018 bass boat (major brand) and I am ready to buy another new boat, 2 years is about the time I get the itch
    Skeeter has never been in my garage, it just never has and it really does not matter why BUT......
    The new FXR has my interets and I had hoped by now there would be some real life expriences fishing and running that model, anyone??
    I am a weekend angler, in my 60's , I fish some team events and although I still have the occasional need for speed; I do appreciate comfort and roominess above all else.

    It dropped about a month after I bought a new 2019 ZX250 or I would have one.

    The FXR is incredibly appealing. Best looking and laid out new model 8 have seen in years from any brand.

    Watching this thread. The FXR looks to be all the improvments over the FX series I would want.

    I'm going to the dealer to look at a FXR 20 on Tuesday. It's already sold but I am leaning towards ordering a FXR 21.

    I realize it's new, really new but there is precious little information anywhere.
    A quick scan of boat trader and they are shipping these as yhey are in multiple dealers, none in my state though.

    Even the Skeeter web site does not list the boat?

    I can’t see it being that much better but it’s the best looking boat on the market for sure!

    Call Fain at 817-280-0303 and he can tell you any details on the FXR that you may have questions about.

    The fxr is wider than the fx. Hull and top cap have been completely redesigned. Hull as a sharper degree if dead rise, creating a smoother ride, more like the I class was. Skeeter's test show that this also reduces the shock of reentry in rough water by 30%. Yes the ride is very noticeably different than the ZX250. The front deck is ammazingly wider up at the trolling motor. Also, because of the wider front, it now has an actual step pad to get into the boat. The limited comes with 2 12" helix, two blade power poles, manual jack plate, fusion radio, ultrex mdi linked 45". optional upgrades are hydro jackplate and 52" ultrex mdi, travel cover, and motor cover. Apex comes same as the limited except the hydro is standard, and you can upgrade to solix units. I have been running ZX's since 2015, coming out of the I series. This is the first boat that I have been seriously excited about since the Iclass. I am really going to miss the ZX layout though. Mine is on order for January, and will be running demo rides at Reynold's Garage & Marine in Ct., on Nov 2nd.

    The dealers have the pamphlets for them. Or do a search for fxr and all the dealers that have them come up. Just look at there inventory. Another place is Skeeters boats face book. For pricing and options you will have to contact a dealer. Won't be able to build your own on Skeeters website until later November.

    Two dealers here in Texas are selling them as fast as they arrive. Fun N Sun has a 20 FXR LE in stock now. My dealer has several being delivered in the coming days, it's just getting over there in time to see them in person. They still have 2019 FX models that they can't move on the floor.
