Hi everyone. New poster but have been visiting this forum for awhile.
First, I noticed this boat (which I like very much btw) has jump seats. Noticed it also has a place to mount a ski pole. What it doesn’t have is a place to mount a rear pedestal seat. So I have two questions:
1. Isn’t having a place to mount a pedestal seat on the back deck a good thing?
2. Could the ski pole mount be used for a seat?
This has been brought up before and last I heard the boys at SBC said it “might” be possible to squeeze a few pedestal mounts on the back deck, but it would most likely interfere with the big motor when turning…
The ski pole mounts in the floor of a 1910, so unless you use like a 4′ seat pole, it’s not gonna work for a chair on the back deck…
i’m sure if you call SBC they can answer your questions directly.
Thanks for the reply. Seems like most boats I am interested in don’t have rear pedestal seats. Is there a reason?
Get a MX series, the WX series has a family boat aspect to it, that’s why it has the jump seats.
I just picked up a WX2060 from SBC last week and trailered it home to Washington State. The ski pylon is very BEEFY! I couldn’t imagine a stronger ski pylon on any boat that is still removable. It would definitely be strong enough to hold a seat. What I’m going to try to do is have a locale machine shop fabricate the bottom half of the ski pylon up to the point where it is about level with the top of rear casting deck. The top of this custom pole will have a receptacle sized to accept the pin from a 3/4″ pin style seat. I’ll probably get the teflon liner and have it inserted into the post top. I’ll be able to insert a seat (either a captain’s chair or a bicycle seat) into this retrofitted ski pylon seat post adapter. As I haven’t yet had the work done I cannot tell you of the final result, but thus far I can’t see any reason that it won’t work.
Lots of reasons to choose a 1910 over either MX model, but the lack of a stern deck seat is a limitation.
I plan to reinforce the inside of the livewell lid with some thick aluminum, and add a seat base in the center. It’ll allow for a leaning pole when casting and a seat when running the kicker motor. Should be an easy DIY…I hope.
“Get a MX series, the WX series has a family boat aspect to it, that’s why it has the jump seats”
I saw it on the 2025 but not the 1825, correct? I like the 1910 because of it’s length. Will they come out with the MX 1925?

Wouldn’t it be nice if the factory supplied a drop in part.

But then you won’t be able to open the livewell very easily.

Skeeters R&D team is always thinking of making changes. These changes come from input from fishermen not just the engineers. Skeeter engineers read these forums! Keep posting ideas and DIY yourself projects and some of them may just end up on the next model or become an accessory option in the future.

not with the seat left in place, true. boats are a study in compromises, and the value of the casting deck seat is far greater for me than ease of access to the livewell.
that said, i really don’t use my livewell very often because i mostly fish muskies. on those times when i’m fishing for sunnies or waldos it’ll be easy enough to either pop the seat out or lift the lid just enough to slide a fish in.
i’m also very curious about using the ski pylon supports as that is already present in my rig and would make for a more elegant solution.
I’ve been looking at the pictures of both the mx1825 and the wx1910. I would think seat bases would be possible on the 1910 in the same location as the 1825. Someone posted about main outboard hitting the seats while turning, to me that is a non issue. I wouldn’t leave the seats up on the deck while running anyways. Can anybody from Skeeter confirm whether seats bases up on the deck are feasible?
Seat bases can be installed on the rear deck of the 1910. Generally in the same location as the mx1825 but would be off to the side slightly compared to 1825.
You can get to the bottom side and through bolt them so its very doable.

The WX doesn’t just have jump seats for the family aspect. Guides love them so they don’t need to have 4 chairs in the boat all day taking up room. The MX and WX each have their buyer markets. They both serve as great fishing/family boats. The biggest thing I ask people when trying to find the right boat for them is how big of water do they fish? If they plan on spending more time on big water the WX line up is going to better for them. Not to say the MX cant handle big water but the WX is better suited. Then there are guys who just like the deeper inside of the WX.
Can anyone explain to me how come the WX1910 is only rated for 5 people and 200hp? The MX1825 is rated for 6 people and 200hp???

Coast Guard? That was one of the reasons we went with the MX2025.

I understand it is supposedly Coast Guard but don’t they give a reason at how they come to the conclusion of their findings? I mean the 1910 is a bigger boat, more seats, same HP as the 1825. I could see it drop in people capacity if it raised the HP. I’ve seen this in other boats also and no one can ever explain other than CG rating.
The Coast Guard formula is the formula and non negotiable Mike.
Notice, I am not defending or asking anyone to find the common sense in it. But, it is the answer to your question.

would you also be able to move the fuel/power bundle? i see in the production models it runs down through the rear deck on one of the sides that i assume you’re describing putting a seat base. on the proto-type this bundle came out in the splash well.
USCG HP ratings for boats less than 20′ is/was… length * width * 2 – 90 + 5 = max hp. Based on that, the WX 1910 and MX 1825 are right in line with the results. Not saying I understand how USCG came up with that, but the math works out for Skeeters HP ratings for those rigs.
WX 1910 (19.08 * 7.96 – 90 + 5 = 218.75 max)
MX 1825 (18.33 * 8.08 – 90 + 5 = 211.21 max)

I believe MUSKETEER was referring to the Max person capacity of each boat versus the max horsepower.

i’m primarily a muskie fisherman, so like something to lean against more than something to sit in.
Skeeter Boat Center’s solution will be perfect for me.

I am assuming you could get this done at the dealership. Approximately how much to install one?
Give a call Skeeter Boat Center. Ask for Eric.

I love it, figure 8’s in the garage..
I would REALLY like to get a Skeeter! Just don’t know how I could swing it. I’d probably have to go used and get top dollar for my Pro V.
Just don’t want to do the ten year loan at this point in my life.
Might have to chat with Cal! 
finally got a chance to test it with one of the boat chairs.
should be fine for you walleye/crappie guys who prefer to sit on the rear deck. will be good for me when fall trolling too.

Dean I understand the hp rating but how come the 19 is only rated for 5 passengers when the jump seats basically give you more seating capacity?
I can’t answer why the 1910 is 5 people and the 1825 is 6. Forget the # of people and look at the weight. The lbs rating is 50# more on the mx for people but then when you look at the MAX Weight the 1910 is 50# more then 1825.
Really 5-6 people in either of these boats ain’t going to be much fun. LOL Mine as well just say MAX 4!

The coast guard formula is based on 140# / person, which really isn’t realistic. Bottom line, it is the judgment call of the MFt to estimate total weight and guess the weight of the passengers sight unseen. Plus, maintain realistic performance of a potentially overloaded boat.
Sounds simple! :]
