How do you know my mom?????

@sgergen I believe the WX2200 is an all new design. As far as I know it is a stretched 2060. Something like 7” in the bow and 11” in the cockpit?

For those of you wondering about the removal of the jump seats and the concern with getting the opinion of the owners… A lot of the guys around here can’t stand the jump seats. I know of a 2018 triton owner, a 2018 ranger owner, and a 2018 WX2060 owner that the lack of storage was a deal breaker for buying a Skeeter. Fortunately Skeeter ditched the jump seats on the new (2018+) 2060 and the skeeter owner I mentioned decided it would meet his needs. I don’t remember for sure which customer it is but either the guy with a 2017 2060 or the one with a solera asked about ditching the jump seats in favor of more storage. It might have been the guy that bought the triton? I can’t remember… I think it’s one of those things where you can’t please everyone. I like the jump seats better than the cushion, but I think it’s a worthy sacrifice for the extra storage.

Had the opportunity this week to run the new WX2200. Definitely a sweet boat! 2190s are awesome boats but the 2200 is nothing short of amazing. There are a ton of things that I believe make this boat a masterpiece. Skeeter knocked this one out of the park IMHO.

Can you elaborate? On the surface I see the same makeover that the 2060 got for 2018. For my use and in my opinion, some good and some not so good. I think that sentiment is shared by a few here when it comes to the 2060. More storage in back vs. jump seats is good for some, not others for example.

Did they change the starboard cockpit storage like the 2060? How about the cockpit port locker? Pricing?

I guess what I’m asking is, now that you’ve run it how is the 2200 better than the 2190?

I don’t get on here enough… Didn’t see this until now, and there’s already a thread with pics of the 2200, but I’ll give you my thoughts on running the boat… in my opinion it feels snappier than the 2190, and I believe it’s more responsive all around. I guess you could say it feels a little more sporty than the 2190? With three of us in the boat I hit 57.4 but I don’t remember what the tach was at. I like the aluminum under all the doors, and the rod storage seems like it will work a lot better. Getting rid of the PVC tubes helps me a lot as I’m the guy that has to work on these, and installing bow rails with the PVC in the way was a pain. The overall size of the cockpit, and bow is awesome. I hear all the ranger guys bragging about the room in their boats all the time, and I believe this boat is a game changer. The bench seat is laughed at by a few folks but what does ranger offer for extra seating? I ask because all I ever see is two seats in theirs? Hope this is helpful info?

I’m a little late here, but FWIW the minnkota heading sensor is nothing more than a compass, and does not need to be mounted in a specific location on the boat AS LONG AS it is not picking up any interference. If you mount a magnetic compass to the bow of the boat and one on the back of the boat and turn the boat in a circle, both compasses will read the same all through 360 degrees of rotation. It does have to be as close to level as possible though. A GPS heading sensor is a different story. You want this mounted as close to the back of the boat as possible so it is reading from the same location as the transducer. Anyway… just thought I’d add my .02 here. I’ve spent a lot of time bugging the minnkota and humminbird guys over the last couple years.

Skeeter dealers meeting was a blast! Did I meet any of you there? I’m with Bellwood boats in Glendo Wy.
