I have a 2015 Skeeter 21FXi.
Last year I upgraded the cranking battery to a 125A Ionic Lithium battery. I love it! Always have enough power to run all of my electronics during a tournament.
Now, I'm installing 3 50Ah Ionic batteries for the trolling motor. Has anyone else done this in their Skeeter? Esentally I'm taking 153lbs out of the rear of the boat. I've read that some people have lost top end speed, while others have not. I'm also curious if it effects the center of balance in the boat? I would assume that I could just run the boat with the livewells full to add weight back.
It's never been the fastest boat. 67 to 69mph with a full tournament load.
Unfortunately, i'm not going to get a chance to run it with the new batteries before my 1st tournament of the year this weekend.
I'd appreciate some feedback from those that have made the change.
