    Issues with 2006 20i

    Can someone tell me the details of the issues with the hull and locks on 2006 20i's. Also, has Skeeter done anything to rectify these issues? I bought my boat new in September of 07, but the dealer is no longer representing Skeeter. Thanks for any info you all can provide.

    Is your boat an 06' or an 07' model? If it is an 07' you should not have any problems.

    Short answer - The hull needed some work done to the rear stabilizing hooks, if you didn't have the work done, the boat will porpoise heavily at slow speeds. The locks just had a gremlin issue that the dealer can fix by switching out the control box I beleive...

    I have the same boat and had the same issues with the hull and the locks. Returned it to the factory in Dec of last year and they took care of everything including the locks, touch pads and "brain" of the boat. They did a great job and did not hesitate to fix the issues

    Skeeter will pay for everything. You just need to the boat to a Skeeter dealer and they take care of the rest.
