    New FX21LE

    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 step to move up in size and class.

    Break-in starts this weekend and I can't wait to see how this thing rides and handles! I pulled the Power Poles off and will be selling those soon. (My boats get scared when I'm shallow enough to use those...)

    You will love that boat... By taking the poles off you won't know what your missing as I use mine all the time... Fantastic looking boat... Just a little warm for my tastes come July though...I need a little lighter color.... But I love the way the darker ones look...

    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 and got me set up great.

    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 you’re saying about the summer heat. My previous boat had a white top cap that was nice in hot weather, but I couldn’t keep it or the white stripes (on the sides) clean and I vowed to never have white again. The good thing about this Cobalt color package is that it has the light gray carpet. I couldn’t handle the darker carpet in the summer!

    Good deal. Dealer told me 45 to 50 days just was wondering. Give us some updates on numbers when you get her broke in

    It prolly has the same carpet color mine has in it... It's darker than what I had in my Bee... But even with Skeeters light carpet I have to put water in the deck during the summer... Im a barefoot fisherman so even a little dark gets warm on the bottom of my feet..

    Nice boats guys... I wish a 20 or 21 foot boat would fit in my garage. But for now I'm sticking with my TZX 190. Hell I have to catty corner it and it only fits in the garage by a half a foot.
