    Need some help.

    Looking to buy a new used boat, and just wondering what boat to go with? Looking at a 1998 SKEETER ZX 185C with a yamaha v-max 150? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. THX

    Have this exact same boat and motor combo in a 99. Bought it new that year and it still looks and runs as good as the day she came in. Boat fishes larger than it really is and handles big water very well. With the 150 dialed in right you should see top end of 61 -63 MPH provided there are no problems with your motor. I can tell you the 150 carbed motor is bullet proof. Only thing I have ever done to mine was change plugs , lower unit oil and (water pump every 2 years).
