    ZX vs FX Rod Locker Depth

    Hey guys, I used to run a 2011 Skeeter FX demo boat through a dealer which had a huge rod locker in it. I could probably fit 40 rods or so. Super deep. Last year I ran a 2018 Skeeter ZX demo boat and the rod locker was so much smaller (less deep).

    Does anyone know if the rod locker on a 2015-2017 Skeeter ZX is the same as a 2018? I assume it is, but wanted to check.

    I'm currently in the market for a 2015-2017. I'm leaning towards a ZX since it's a little less expensive than the FX, but wanted to pick your brains as I've yet to see a 2015-2017 in person to check for myself. I'm looking at that 2015-2017 range as I can't stand the butterfly lockers down the middle of the 2018-2020 on the ZX model.

    Thanks!

    The 15 through 17 have the rod tubes, that most people remove. This allows for more rods. In those year groups I would exclude the 15. In 2016 the moved the gas tank forward and the boat handles much better. The port rod locker, size was, is the same from 15 through 20. Just before 18 there was no port day box and makes the box look bigger.
