    Quote: I have $50K into my boat. Why would you want to skimp on the batteries. Don’t put the cheap ones in and expect all will be good for years to come out on the water.
    I’ve been running Odyssey Extreme series batteries for more than 6 yrs now. I DO NOT have battery issues since switching to Odyssey.
    Skeeter Boat Center in Chippewa Falls right up the road from you carries them. Eric in the parts dept will get you what you need for your rig.

    Dave, I’ve been running the Odyssey battery’s in my Skeeter’s for the past 4 years. Check out the info here.
    http://www.odysseybattery.com/documents/US-TT-PG-002_0113_001.pdf
    Run them 3-4 days straight all day long. I doubt you’ll ever find a better marine battery. You will be done worrying about how long they will last that’s for sure…

    If your rig needs new batteries this spring, Give the guy’s at Skeeter Boat Center a call and eliminate replacing yours every few years with Odyssey Trolling Thunder. The PC-2150 and PC-1500 are the “UPGRADE” option on all of the Skeeter’s at the boat center and here’s why.

    Marine Battery Benefits

    Consistent Power
    ODYSSEY® batteries maintain consistently high voltage over a long cycle life.

    Fast Recovery
    ODYSSEY® batteries recharge faster and more
    fully than conventional marine batteries.

    Long Cycle Life
    ODYSSEY® batteries routinely deliver up to
    400 deep cycle (80%) discharges.

    Longer service life
    Forget replacing batteries every year. With 3-10 years of service life, ODYSSEY® batteries save consumers time, money, and aggravation.

    Longer cycle life
    70% longer cycle life compared to conventional deep cycle batteries — up to 400 cycles at 80% depth of discharge — high stable voltage for longer periods of time.

    Longer shelf life
    Can be stored on open circuit (nothing connected to the terminals) without the need for recharging up to 2 years or 12.00V, whichever occurs first.

    Faster recharge
    The highest recharge efficiency of any sealed lead battery on the market — capable of 100% recharge in 4 – 6 hours.

    Mounting flexibility
    Non-spillable design — can be mounted on any side in any position except inverted. Takes up less space in the boat than competitors.

    Vibration resistance
    Design protects against high impact shock and mechanical vibration — a common cause of premature battery failure.

    Extreme temperature tolerant
    Operating temperatures from -40°C (-40°F) to 80°C (176ºF) for the 34M-PC1500 and 31M-PC2150. No need to winterize this unit — leave it in the boat!

    Totally maintenance free
    No need to add water, ever!

    Improved safety
    US Department of Transportation classified as a ‘non-spillable’ battery. No acid spills, no escaping gases. Drycell design with resealable venting system.

    Superior to spirals
    Compressed flat plates eliminate wasted space — 15% more plate surface area and up to 40% more reserve capacity than popular “six-pack” AGM batteries.

    Better warranty
    Limited 3- and 4-year full replacement warranty — not pro rated.

    See ya on the water, unless your batteries are shot…

    The Sears Die Hard Platinum batteries are manufactured by EnerSys company. “ODYSSEY” Trolling Thunder both the same and IMHO the best brand on the market.

    We just finished up the 2013 Skeeter catalog shoot last week on the new models that just rolled out. Darin from Skeeter will getting the photos set for print then updating the website. He said it would take several weeks to complete all of the color design combos for the build a boat on the Skeeter boats website so be patient on that one but your dealer should have the color chart chips with all the updated new ones.They also have the build sheets and pricing available with plenty of pictures for viewing as well.

    Ha Ha Jess, I’ll admit I was just a little bit skeptic at first partnering up with this river rat on the pond after he told me that he’d never owned a Minnesota fishing license or ever seen Mille Lacs. But after a few days pre fishing and the repeated requests to go to a pitchin spot I kept reminding him that we are rigging and his title @ SBC was a “Rigging Specialist.” Forget about laying on his back under a Skeeter dashboard hooking up electronics. We’d get it done. His biggest frustration was to throw back all the big fish and box the ones that were barely longer than our baits for this tournament. Quite a change in tournament strategy from the river game. Don’t ask him for the winning spot as he has no clue as to where but you can bet I’ll be taking him back to Mille in 2 weeks for the next MTT battle.
    One things for sure, I was glad to be in that WX-2100 Skeeter when that Mille wind was whippin up a big blow. We had it all locked down thanks to Eric’s solid rigging of my Skeeter. Now we’ll see if he’s a troller for the next one…

    The Skeeter ZX-2050 was in production from 2001-2007 was 20’4″ length and thinkin 95″ on the beam. Had rear livewell saddlebags both sides and a 300 rating for 3 years when the 2 stroke 300 was available. The WX-2100 was available from May 2007 and is still in the Skeeter line up with a 300HP rating. The 2100 Is 21’long with a 97.5″ beam with the rear jump seats that the old 2050 did not have. The WX-2100 was made as a replacement with improved stability and rough water handling for big water. This is the current “Flagship” in the Skeeter WX line up.
    I have owned several 2050’s and 2100’s. Feel free to PM me with any more Q’s???

    http://www.odysseybattery.com Check out the specs and warranty on them, nothing else comes close. Swing thru Chippewa Falls @ Skeeter Boat Center, they have them instock. 31M PC-2150’s are the big boys and the 34M PC-1500’s the smaller size.

    Here’s some info on specs for the Seard Diehard batteries that you have been running. Sears was contracted with Odyssey batteries for production.

    http://www.odysseybattery.com/documents/US-TT-RS-006_0611_000.pdf

    The Odyssey brand is a Military/commercial grade battery and comes at a premium cost up front. The longer service life of more than 400 cycles past 80% depth of discharge will more that cover that cost and keep you on the water longer. Most other batteries start losing their efficiency after about 30 discharges. Many of the boats that we have been rigging at Skeeter Boat Center have been “upgraded” to Odyssey’s after the customers have been educated on the benefits. I have been running them for 2 years now and they have performed for days on end with out recharging when we were unable to have electrical hook up “Rainy Lake trip”
    and run for days on end.
