I just bought my first BLAZER boat and I like it a lot.It rides better than I thought it wood.Plus it fast over 83 mph on gps vers. 71 or so on a ZX .My blazer does every thing better than than I thought it would.BLAZER BOATS are usually priced alot less than the SKEETERS ,But I think the workmanship is about the same. { PS if you do not buy a BLAZER ,buy a BASSCAT not a SKEETER Thats just my two cents worth, good luck on your boat search. }
