    2019 ZX250

    Going to look at a 2019 ZX250 tomorrow. I’m sure this group will be a bit bias, but thoughts or input good or bad? Have had a Ranger, Triton and most recent a 210 Champion. We fish mostly shallow smaller type lakes, but do travel to big water few times a year.

    Very very pleased with my 2019 zx250. Rides good, handles great, fishes even better. Really liking the deck layout the more I get used to it. Ended up pulling both tackle trays out. Rods in Port box, tackle in the center, life jackets and rain gear in the starboard side.

    Thanks for input so far. Really had mind made up on a Pheonix, but more I look at this boat the more I like it.

    I got mine with the upgrades all in @$63,900 April of 2018.
    For the money, I am a very happy man with the Skeeter.
    i think a Phoenix will cost much more from what I have seen.
    Course the ZX is a little more this year as well but not outrageous.

    They were coming with a $1500 rebate last week when I looked some over, I think it ends June 17.

    Love everything about my 19 zx250 except the storage. liked my tackle storage in the middle and rods on the side. I hate having to raise the lockers on the side to get at my tackle when I have rods on the deck above them. I liked the old style with two large compartments in the middle. In my old skeeter I could have 20 rods on deck and no issues digging through tackle which I admittedly do to often.

    After over a month of boat shopping the search is over...We were skeptical about Skeeter since not many around us, but after spending hours crawling around it and riding in it we learned it was the boat for us based on price, layout and ride.

    Yep the $1500 rebate ends today. You can also get 2 additional years of motor warranty from Yamaha at no cost.

    I noticed you fish shallow water. The ZX250 can get very shallow. We have fished so shallow we pulled up the trolling motor and used a push pole.
    It is also a great riding boat that is easy to drive. Not many boats out there where you can let go of the wheel at 70 mph and just cruise while eating a sandwich and taking in the scenery.

    Yes most of the time 3-4 foot or less. Got to put some time on it yesterday and impressed. Great hole shot and stable. Was concerned about ride quality and stability after coming out of a 210 Champion, but no worries or regrets anymore.
