Bass Boats

Powered by Yamaha's new F225 Sport, this SL210 -- the largest in Skeeter's three-model Family Sport Series -- literally bolted from idle when we buried the throttle, reaching plane in 2.7 seconds.

You want a fiberglass fishing boat. But bass boats can bust you up on rough days or in cold weather where the low gunwales expose you to the conditions. Skeeter's newest and biggest deep-V boat, the WX2100, hits some sweet middle ground, matching the appeal of a lean fiberglass profile with a deep interior, full windshield and sharp keep to crease the chop.

Bass and crappie anglers who don't need all the bells and whistles, nor the hefty price tag, found on high-end fiberglass boats will want to buy this boat...

Indeed, it took just three seconds for me to sense the Z520 settling into its stride and another five before we were streaking up to 71 mph. Once this hull pops up onto its pad, it rides over chop as smoothly as a hovercraft and carves turns like a surgeon. That means you get to the best honey hole on the lake in comfort and safety.
