Listening to the powerful endorsements from so many anglers across the state it is quite evident Skeeter Boats did their homework when designing the all new MX series. In private conversations with James Holst prior to this introduction he told me this is going to be the best designed Walleye boat in it’s class. I’ve never known James to walk away from a statement so I knew it was going to be special. Some may say this is indeed the multi-species boat designed by fisherman for fisherman. I remember Steve from the Skeeter Boat company spending hours with fisherman at last years houseboat excursion on Rainy lake. I had the pleasure of throwing in my 3 cents as well. Although I haven’t been privileged to drive this boat yet it simply screams for anglers to get behind the wheel and drop the throttle.
While reading Dustin Stewart’s fishing report recently I see the “Ole River Pro” is MX Bound!! Knowing there is simply no substitute for the perfect boat for your guide service I listened very carefully to what he had to say. I believe it speaks volumes that he is choosing the MX1825 for himself.
It is becoming quite evident Skeeter Boats has 2 very dominate fiberglass boats that simply surpass anglers wants and needs. I’m interested on what the impressions are from other anglers on which series of Skeeter boat they feel might best fit their needs??
Frankly I still demand the WX series boat. Now keep in mind I run 4-5 people in my boat regularly. I run big water everyday. I love the massive amounts of storage as well. I happen to like the big bow as many times I have 4 or 5 guys slinging baits and 2 are up front. At this point I obviously need all 21 feet so the MX vs. WX for me is a bit of a moot point. Still with the tremendous value one might assume the MX series will quickly add a larger version of this all new hull design. A year or two down the road I wouldn’t be surprised to see this in a 20ft layout.
What I will say is I continue to be in love with the wave smashing power of my WX series boat, but clearly understand there are many different needs for fisherman across the state. The MX series looks to have SMASHED even it’s lofty expectations as anglers sat and waited for the release. Whichever boat you decide fits your style of fishing best I believe anglers across the Midwest are becoming quite wise about the amount of boat they are receiving for their hard earned money being invested.
Anglers have been given quite a good reason this year to turn their old boat into something shiny and new from the Skeeter Boat Center!!
On top of all this I have to (Once again) tip my hat to both Dave and Greg from the SBC. They helped facilitate my sale of my 2010 WX2100 which enabled me to design my 2011 guide boat “Sho Time”. The sale took place last November. This boat was sold to a very good customer of mine. My customer was to take deliver of my 2010 WX2100 “Fancy Pants this last week. Dave undertood I wanted my customer to be very happy with his new purchase. As a surprise to me both Dave and Greg in the heart of the boat selling season drove to International Falls to deliver my 2010 boat to my customers. Beyond that they preceded to spend parts of 2 days with Mark and Patty afterwards taking the whole team out to eat at Sha-Sha resort where we all sat around telling stories and laughing!! EVERYONE I know and I mean EVERYONE has raved about the customer service of the Skeeter Boat Center. I know I’m just a fishing guide, but my $$ is hard earned. I’d drive 10000 miles for the peace of mind I receive dealing with the SBC’s outstanding team. Thanks so much for all you do!!
