These are pics of a new Skeeter FX series. Tough to see the motor and say for sure it's not a Series 2. It obviously doesn't look like the pic above.

I think the top pic is real. Looks like it was scanned from a soon to be release marketing ad. Those Skeeter pics look like a Series 2 to me.

I think the motor dimensions are very close in size to a two stroke too. I think the motor is 1" wider, higher and 1" longer.

Can't tell from that pic...what are the pickups like? Still low like the HPDI?

Sharp looking boat, I'm a litttle worried that they "changed the hull" though. My 09 21i is the best running/riding Skeeter I've owned, I hope they did not screw anything up! I do not like the new consoles, nor the lack of the digital guages, but like the three toned seat. As far as the four stroker goes, awesome I just dont want to be in line for serial #1! Just kidding I'm sure Yamaha has been testing this for years, I definately want to run one though before I order an 10 model boat.

It appears that Yamaha has done what no other manufacturers wanted to do... they made a 4-stroke that people could re-power their bass boats with. Verado = too heavy for my boat, Honda= a little too heavy and no low-end power, Suzuki = only 250HP for bass boats, Yamaha 200 SHO = might work on my boat. Finally someone is building a motor I could re-power with .

That's what I am considering doing as well for my BassCat Pantera IV. I want to keep my boat for a very long time and feel more comfortable going forward with a four stroke for several reasons. Bench marks are solid, I have a awesome dealer and mechanic for customer support and I absolutely love my BassCat. I got a strong buyer already for my motor so this could really happen quickly for me to move on a 200 SHO-Vmax when they become available.
