    Potential Skeeter owner Got some questions???

    I have heard from a few different people that they are not getting the speed out of the Skeeter I class boats compared to the Skeeter zx class is there any truth to this? Thanks for the input.

    If you have a 21I with a 250 and you have a Zx250 the 250 will be a little faster because it doesn't weigh as much. either way, those two bugs will run consistently in the mid 70's fully loaded. Both are awesome boats.

    The I Class was designed as the Ultimate Ride with great performance. Compare the weights. I Class is always heavier, in most cases the heaviest in it's class in the industry.

    The heavier and faster boat cteates morw momentum to break through the waves and results in better ride. It's Physics. The ZX has a great ride but the I Class is even better.

    The ride comparison, especially in big water (high winds, chop, swells, rollers) between the 20'2" ZX and the 20'2" iclass is extreme. The i handles big/rough water much better. (comparing the 07 zx 225 with the 08 20 i)

    My ZX 250 does great in rough water. Best riding boat I have ever been in.

    the 20i is a little faster than the ZX225, the 21I is just a tad slower than the ZX250 with 250 hpdi on them. I have a 21 I and 2 20I class boats i can make some awesomke deals on. Give me a call and I can tell you about them. You cant beat the deals I have on the 20 I class models.
