I am sorry if you are reading this twice. Someone advised me to post my questions here.
I am in the market for a new bass boat. I was set on purchasing a Skeeter FXR21 because the dealer's customer service has been exceptional on my current boat (different brand/entry level boat). However, when I started doing research on the Skeeter FXR21, I watched a video of a professional fisherman reviewing the FXR21 (and, many others). He talked about the FXR21 porpoising at low speeds. He said it takes the boat a long to hit plane. And, he advised about the boat being hard to handle for an inexperienced boater on rough waters because it was hard to keep the nose down. While I am not inexperienced, I am also not very experienced. I have owned a 17 ft. aluminum boat for four years this June and avoid rough water situations. I was hoping a 21 foot boat that is heavier than my current aluminum boat would help me get out there a little more. And, I have two young kids that are starting to fish with me.
Anyone have any experience with this boat? Is it hard to handle on rough waters? Does it porpoise at low speeds?
Thank you!
