    2019 FX's

    Just curious to see if anyone has heard anything. Its close to dealer meeting time and sometimes stuff gets leaked out. Curious if there are going to be any changes or color changes.

    Truer words were never typed. I went and looked at an ad for a 2018. Is that supposed to hold tackle? The only thing that would make a Center Rod Locker any better would be two of them. Imagine My disappointment to see what looked to be 2 plastic boxes to hold a bunch of crap You'll never need. Pretty soon it'll be for the "pop up screen" for the electronics 7' x 7'

    I'm not a fan of the way they did the new ZX center box at all...didn't like it when the first showed it, ain't liked since..won't ever get used to it cause I won't buy one like that...cause if I did I'd bitch about it every day...

    The FX will not see the new design. They have it well balanced out and don' t want to mess with it. The ZX will continue with the new design, and I felt like they made a big mistake with the new design. But, after having one for a couple months now, its fantastic. It leads to so many options to lay out tackle. The 2 tackle organizers are removeable, which allows you to put your rods in the traditional box. Leaving so much room for tackle in the center. plus you can still use the center for your first of the day rods or partners on travel trips.

    Wait, which do you guys like? The tow center rod lockers or the massive center tackle compartment? My Phoenix has a the massive center tackle compartment and I HATE TIT. I used to travel light so don't need a lot of tackle. Now I carry tons of chit in that big compartment. It's tough when getting things in and out opening that big lid. I really like the small/day box compartment in front of the console on the ZX/FX.

    I had looked hard at Skeeter when I bought this Bird, and now looking at Skeeter again. In large part due to the SHO. Not a big fan of my XS.

    I love the fact that Skeeter keeps it simple. I think they also offer a lot of color options compared to others. My 2018 ZX200 isn't that more than what my Brother paid for his 2011 and I got more standard options. I do wish that you could order the boat without some options though.
