Thinking of getting this boat, what are the guy's reveiws who have these. Pros and cons, how does it do in rough water. And how does it fish. Thanks

2016 ZX200 here. Fishes great and is good in rough water (remember it is only 19 1/2 feet). Porpoises at low speeds on pad but a hydrofoil will help. Speed in the mid to high 60s (70 on a good day). Driving at mid to top speed is like a sports car, corners great and is rock solid going straight. The front deck is a little tight forward of the butt seat, especially the pedestal to TM foot pedal dimension. I have my pedal jammed all the way forward and sitting on a deck insert because of my long legs (I should have bought the ZX225). Console leg room is outstanding and the seats are excellent. The center ice chest lid hinge is a poor design and easily breaks, I have gorilla tape holding mine on now. The console windshield height is a little low so I have to drive bent down slightly to stay out of the wind at top speed. Skeeter quality can be questionable so look over the ENTIRE boat before buying. My first one had screws from the battery trays coming out thru the bottom of the hull. And the VMAX SHO rocks!!!

Mine is a 2011 and I have no regrets what so ever. Like Mark said she'll run 65-68 but the newer ones where repropped so I'm not sure on the speeds.

I love mine I have only couple small issues dealer fixed them. I fish lakes with lots of docks so its just right for me, fishes great. Rides and drives great I'm getting 68.5 2 people and full of gas, 70 with just me.
2010 ZX 200. It’s been rock solid and handles the rough stuff just fine if you know how to drive. Same deal with porpoising. I can run as low as 18-19 mph on plane with no issue. My lakes are at 3,000 ft so my top speed is 63mph. I would buy another without hesitation.

I have a 2018 that's still being broke in. So far with two people, gas and gear 67. Mine has the 23p T2 were as the older models had the 25T1. My jack plate was set at 7 dots. I will say my brothers 2011 seems to ride better and the motor has more dig than mine. But so far I love my ZX200!

Thanks for all the information. I just posted about a 08 21i but it's sold
She gave me some numbers on the zx200 and with all my bills it's just a little to much. The 190 is going to be more in my price range. So I'm debaiting to find a good ised boat or new.
