    Re: Ideas or Suggestions for Future Skeeters (phillic)

    Hey Phillic,
    You definitely need to talk to bayoubugman above. He is a good padna of mine. His 06 I Class did the same thing. He got it fixed (warranty) and all of that is gone.

    No need to pay that much money and not be happy.

    Re: Ideas or Suggestions for Future Skeeters (Marsh Skeeter)

    Put better latches/locks in the SX and ZX line.
    Make the under seat storage dry!
    Put a pull out type boarding ladder like on the Tritons.
    Make the holes in the consoles bigger in the SX models so the owner can upgrade to bigger better units.

    Besides those I cant think of much, in fact I really have never had much of a gripe with any of the three Skeeters I have owned.

    Re: Ideas or Suggestions for Future Skeeters (Skeeter Jay)

    A boat tracking system that sends you updates via email or that you can check via their website the status of your boat being built. Ordering a $60,000 boat only to keep being told "4 weeks", "next week", "oh wait, it will start being built next week", "5 more weeks", "should be next week", "should be leaving the factory next wednesday" is absolute BS.

    A replacement for the rod bungees (something that won't snap back or break).
    Insulation around the cooler.
    C-channel trailer with some kind of rugged, no-chip coating.
    A new commitment to quality control on the little things.
    I don't own one, but the SX Series could use a facelift.

    I don't own one, but the ZX series could use a larger windshield. (to cover bigger craniums).

    Need sas seats with true springs in them. Like Triton used to have in there boats, Everyone has gone to these "botomless seats with memory foam" that are not true suspension seats.

    Re: (Muddbugg)

    Have you used the suspension seats? Everything I've heard about them is that they bounce you up, not soften the ride as you go down.

    Re: (njpaul)

    Would love to see a new ZX225 with the old Skeeter bug logos and seat embroidery. It would be something different and maybe a one year thing. Been thinking about doing it on my current ZX225 anyway. I think it would look cool.

    Re: Ideas or Suggestions for Future Skeeters (Doug Vahrenberg)

    boat from factory has pieces of fiberglass etc all thru the hull that clogs bilges

    why do I have so many areator/bilge problems/leaks with new zx?

    no room to work in stern because of small lid..could be all accross instead of having to remove those 2 side plates to get at stuff

    Don't know about the old logo but definitely embroidered SKEETER on the seat.

    Re: seats

    Those SRS seats are only any good in the showroom. I admit they are comfy when you are sitting on the trailer, or even going over 1 boat wake. But chop, crossing wakes and boat traffic will make you miserable.

    I had a Z21 for 10 months and EVERY person i had in the passenger seat HATED them. They do not absorb shock, only amplify it and bounce you around fiercely.

    In the real world of waves and boat wakes, I'll take the Skeeter bottomless / poured foam seat any day.

    Re: seats (5 keepers)

    Guys, I just got back from the Plant in a meeting with 8 other dealers and management from Skeeter, and I promise this entire list was discussed for an hour or two and all problems and suggestions have been addressed. I will also tell you that most of these items will see some changes and improvements.

    Re: seats (Jason Hale)

    How about a bass boat hull that isn't 4" deep or a multispecies hull that isn't 4' deep.
