    Skeeter replaces Ranger

    I had a Ranger 2004 520vx sold it. I'm looking at a 2008 zx250 with Yami series 2- 250. Tell me the good, bad, and ugly. Thanks

    Re: Skeeter replaces Ranger (bpranger)

    first the good
    the way it rides
    way it fishes
    dry
    the looks
    the storage
    soooo much more you will never go back to another brand now on only skeeter will do.
    the bad
    only thing i dont like with mine the yhammer is no merc im a merc fan i miss that speed from my last skeeter and when a 250 pro xs merc goes pass this 300 vmax kind of sucks but im geting old and speed is not as important as ride now O and it drinks oilllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll
    the ugly
    nothing they are beautiful boats im on number three and yes four will be a skeeter but it will have the new sho on it and after last week when a fx 20 with 250 sho ate my lunch well lets just say i WANT one lol

    I have a 2008 ZX250 with Series 2. No complaints, its a great all around boat. Ride is the best out of any boat I have riden in.

    Sold my 03 Ranger for 2010 Skeeter. Fit and finish is 99% as good as my Ranger. Things my Ranger had over the Skeeter

    Fuse Box in sight on Ranger and under the dash on my Skeeter.
    No large circuit breaker shut off on Skeeter, my Ranger had two.
    Oil tank for 2 stroke 200 Yammie under rod box as well as my tripple inboard charger in Skeeter, a little pain in the backside for me.

    What do I really like about my Skeeter over my Ranger

    Livewell and baitwell in front and rear
    Snap out carpet
    better seats
    more storage
    PRICE

    I think Ranger makes SUPER BOATS but they are getting too pricey for me. I know when I'm whipped and I have had two Rangers but this time I couldn't afford them.
