Skeeter MX line

[Ohio Archer]

I know this is predominately a bass boat forum but I'd like to know if anyone has firsthand experience with Skeeter's MX line. I'm considering upgrading from my aluminum boat next year and am looking hard at the MX1825.

I bass fish on and off but mainly chase Muskies. If I can swing it, the boat will have a dual console w/ full windshield vs just a single console and a bubble. Only a couple of dealers near here and neither stock the MX line so I'll be driving a bit to find one. Warranty repairs would be major consideration.

Any info would be appreciated.

I've owned one since 2013. The MX 1825 that is. Great boat. I used it mainly for walleye fishing but have done a lot of bass fishing from it. It works great as a dual purpose boat. Shallow draft but can still handle big water extremely good. Mine is a full windshield Great for the nasty weather. I'm actually selling it on Tuesday.....fingers crossed!

Thanks, WI-Bassin. Have you found any downside to owning the MX?

I owned an MX 1825 for several years. The biggest downside I found was how high it sat on the trailer. Several times either I couldn't get it backed in far enough or the axle hung up on the ramp. Other than that, I really liked the boat. I had the f150 motor and saw a top speed of 52 on a regular basis and from what I've heard that was high. For a bath tub, it handled and cornered really well and stayed on plane at very low speeds.

The rough water ride is decent, not outstanding, but decent.

No downsides for me really. Never had any issues at the ramp at all. It was is a great boat. If I wasn't getting back into bass fishing full time I would still own it. If you have any other questions feel free to ask.
