Last week I let my friend and fishing partner borrow my Champ 206 while his boat was in the shop. He is(was) a big-time Skeeter fan and currently fishes from a 2006 20i. The next morning when he brought my boat back, his first comment was "Wow - I had no idea your boat would ride and drive like that!" There were some pretty big swells on Rayburn that evening and he got a taste of that Champion rough water ride. He freely admitted that the 20i wasn't a match for the 206 in the rough stuff. His next comment - "Wonder how much it would take to get me into a 210?". I give him a lot of credit - its not often someone will admit such a thing!
Any Skeeter owners who read this - please do not take this as me bashing Skeeters or the 20i! I have fished from my friend's 20i many times and it is a fine boat with many great features, fishes great and will certainly leave me in the dust on a calm day.
Ride and Decide!!!
