    Spring can’t come quick enough for this guy!


    So………….Did you flop a cash deposit on the table? Or are you waiting till spring to pick the colors.

    Nice review Justin! I haven’t forgot. Hope to see you before seasons end and maybe help you out with your purchase. I’m almost afraid to go look at one.

    Good review and I agree with your findings. I am still working on the colors for mine and I also cant wait till spring so I can order mine. Now I just have to drive it with the 200 HPDI!

    Justin, Glad to finally get you some behind the wheel training in the new Skeeter MX-1825. Quite a difference from your current rig. Think it will be a great fit for your fishing style. It would have been nice to get some water sprayed on us in that 100 degree heat but just was not happening with that hull. You”ll be glad with that come November. Still have to get you out in my 2100 with the 300 offshore. I’m gonna have to lighten up on my tackle boxes if you order up the 200hpdi. There’s gonna be some more Skeeter’s buzzin to the big fish spot soon…

    Haha! Not yet Wade although it was sure tempting! I’ve decided to wait til spring and get a few things paid off over the winter before I jump in a new boat.

    I’m pretty sure I have my colors picked out already though!

    Sorry guys I didn’t have a chance to take any pictures, as I left my camera at home.

    I’m sure Greg or the crew at SBC will be posting a few pictures of the finished product soon.

    Here is a shot of the dash, the shelf uder the dash, the really cool, small and easy to radio panel and the circuit breaker panel under the dash. Eveything makes for clean installs and ease of access!

    How about the LARGE, 2 level center rod storage area and the 50″ rear live well?

    Gregg,regarding those under the console shelves,rumor has it that they might be removable? That storage area for me has been very appreciated through the years!

    You bet Dean! You remove 2 Phillips head screws and the shelf is out!

    Is there enough room for 3 trolling batteries and the starting?

    In the designed space that the batteries go in, there is not enough space for 4 batteries.

    A 80lb trolling motor on that boat I believe will be more than enough. If your worried about extra long run time or life of the batteries you may consider upgrading to Odessey batteries.

    It just so happens that we have a MX with a 200hpdi in the shop. It will be run on the lake soon, and I will be sure to report back with my findings

    I have a 101 on my 1880 and would not go smaller on the next boat.
