IDK, I might try this. My boat’s the same way. Or I might sell the rug and get sea deck installed. The carpet’s a pain in the ass anytime it get rained on I have to take it out and hang it over something to dry.

Bad move on Skeeter’s part! I have a 2014 mx 1825 that I bought new from sbc in 2016. It truly is ‘the ultimate 18 fishing boat’ as it was marketed as. The plan was to get a new one down the road with a 200 on it. Guess now it’s going to be a Tuffy ( my second runner up when I was looking at boats). And I’ll put a damn Mercury on it!
Yep you are absolutely right, the MX1825 is no longer in Skeeters production. Its sad to see as it was a great seller for us here at TBC.
WHAT!??!?! Why? Thought it was the ‘ultimate 18 foot fishing boat’???
It looks like spring there as compared to here !!!! :]
Indeed! The ice is thick and temps are COLD!
Steve, about the sonars – I have a helix 12 and 10 at the console on my 1825. And a helix 10 at the bow. I wish I would have gotten a 12 for the bow instead. That 12 inch screen is real nice!
I’ll gently observe that the difference in interior cockpit depth is not the same as the difference from rear deck to water line…
Ummm, ok but you’re not gonna tell me that I can reach the waterline just as easily out of a 2060 as I can out of a 1825, are you?
The shallower cockpit makes working on muskies over the side of the boat easier.
The cockpit isn’t actually that much shallower. An inch? Two? The difference is greater in the bow. I’ve unhooked one or two <strong class=”ido-tag-strong”>muskies in the back of a lot of different boats, and my WX is as easy for that as any.
3 inches. That’s the mx 1825 vs WX 1910. Moving up to the 2060 the difference is 4 1/2 inches. It makes a difference when hanging over the side of the boat, especially if your back isn’t as good as it used to be. 
Can’t remember a time when I was bothered by wind pushing me around, and I seek it out whenever possible. React keel plus a 36v Ulterra keeps me completely in control.
That’s great. But you can’t deny, the less freeboard, the less surface area for the wind to catch.
As a muskie fisherman, I’ve never even given the MX2040 a very serious look. Imho, the only clear advantage it offered was a front deck that’s closer to the water. And since all my rods are between 8’6″ and 9’6″ those inches of height don’t impact fishing very much anyway. That hull and lower freeboard also means less storage, less dry ride, and less ability in rough conditions for almost the same price.
The shallower cockpit makes working on muskies over the side of the boat easier. The overall lower profile of the boat means less freeboard to catch wind. 2 of my favorite features of my 1825. I probably won’t ever go bigger but if I did, it would have been the 2040. Maybe they *will* come out with a MX 1910. That would definitely get my attention!

I thought these mx 1825s were 50 MPH boats with the F-150???Downstream and 1 guy, empty tank, and light load.
Won’t get too far with an empty tank. LOL
Glad you’re happy with it. I have a kicker and talon on mine. Top speed so far has been 6.1 MPH – LOL. Haven’t been on a lake where I can use the F-150 yet. I’ll report back when I can get that big motor going.

What’d ya end up going with?
Love my 2014 MX 1825! It’s the perfect compromise between a deep V and a bass boat! The 21 inch deep cockpit makes working on muskies over the side of the boat a breeze. Love the stability the boat has. Great storage. Great ride!
That’s wayyyy too much work, MJ! LOL
If they’re still making the mx 1825 covers that leave the splash well exposed, I don’t recommend them for outdoor storage. It leaves all the linkages and cables for your outboard(s) exposed to the weather. That back deck will get somewhat wet too. Also, leaves and other debris will blow under there making the cockpit quite messy.
For indoor storage it should be fine. It tightens down good for trailering.
950’s probably about right. I got quoted 1,180.00 for a custom cover- albeit, it’ll cover the splash well and kicker motor and have 3 support poles.
Not too bad just drilled 4 holes and screwed it down.
How about as far as getting your hands under there?
Came with the boat from Skeeter Boat center. That’s what I use when I tow the boat, whether its down the block or 500 miles.

Cool. Thanks! How hard was that to install? Not a heck of a lotta room under there!
Thanks!
I moved the charger to the port side shelf behind the removable rear storage bin.
You got a pic of this?
Pics??
Love it!
Looks good!
I guess no one knows????
Congrats! Looks great!
I like that 1910. If I was more of a troller and/or big water guy I would have gotten one instead.
LOL! Santa said not ’till Dec 24th!
