Been eyeing one of these that is priced good. Just wondering what the top GPS speeds y'all are getting that are running one of these. Have an 04 190 with a 150 on it now. Just thinking its time to let my 2004 go.

I have a 190 with a 175 and have seen mid 60's on cool days with a light load but regularly see low 60's with partner and tournament load. I would think the 195 would be about the same.
There is a performance bulletin on the Skeeter website. Looks like 60.4 on a 60 degree day with two people. On a similar day my ZX190 will hit about 64/65. It is a foot longer than my ZX190 but has the same beam and a very similar hull.Originally Posted by Jisher
If you are not looking for speed the extra foot is very nice.
The ZX200 is basically the same boat but with a 200 and different consoles. It's about a 68MPH boat.

I have a '14 TZX 195 w/ hpdi 175 and would be happy to answer any questions you may have. I see 62-65 @ 5700 (this was the max going down river with the wind cool evening) by myself, normal load. 60ish with 2 people and normal load. I personally love this boat, especially for the money. Sucks they only made them 1 year but with mine and the options I got, no other model from another brand could touch it for the $$.
Skeeter is not making this boat anymore and it's basically underpowered. It's the same boat as the ZX200 without some of the bells and whistles which has a max hp of 200. You should be able to find a left over ZX200 for about the same price.

With 2 people and a full tourney load, I'm usually around 60-62. With just me and no tackle up front. It runs around 65 consistently.
So explain why my 2012 TZX 180 seems no longer made? is that right?
Its been a jewel after 185 hours...150F, Turbo 1 and 57gps loaded...
I fish in 4 clubs, am retired so it is used much more than normal...

They are still making the TZX180. It looks like the TZX170 is not made any more.
