All I can say is the boat was a definite upgrade. The rough water ride is the best of all the boats I haver owned. I can't keep my foot off the gas either as the 250 HPDI is a beast. Boat is so comfortable to ride and fish out of that I am very impressed. Had a buddy in the boat yesterday and he has raved to everyone how much he loves the boat. I am happy I made the switch. hard to imagine the FX being any better. The 20i is perfect for the way i fish and like all Skeeters it is designed with anglers in mind.
