    I had 21 zxr21 and currently have a 23zxr21 both had paint issues that should have been resolved before it was shipped to the dealer other than that I would purchase a Skeeter again

I ran Yamaha motors here at the cost in SC & FL on 4 inshore and bay boats with no issues and I like how the 21FX looks but know nothing about how they are build quality wise.

    I've owned older Rangers, Tritons, Bass Cats, the gen 1 Phoenix boats all 20 or 21 footers and am now looking at Caymus, Bass Cat, Phoenix, and want to add Skeeter to that list if you guys give me a good reason to. If the reports are bad I'd rather know now than after I bought it. I really appreciate anyone willing to share their honest assessment on these boats built in the last 2-3 years as if I don't buy new I'll likely get a 23 or newer model to save a few dollars if it makes sense. Many thanks in advance for any education you can share with me gents!
    I know your looking to buy new but, I have a 2015 Skeeter FX 20 that I bought used in '22. I think it is a well made boat and I love it! I have seen many complaints on various boards of the build quality on newer ones. With that being said if I was buying new today I would look at a Phoenix or Bass Cat with a SHO.
