My 2019 WX2200 came with the wrong size snaps that go into the window frame. My buddies 2020 came with the same size mine came with, so wrong size. I just ordered some in 2019 off amazon. Costed a couple bucks. Easier then running to the dealership, as they offered the right size. I have used the canvas snap in a couple Skeeters now. Works very well to block the wind on cold days!
Let us know how your flap works.

Algoma or Kewaunee will be goin well by then! Wet Dreams Charters, Kinns, The Fishin Magician will all be on fish.
Wx2200. Check out Skeeter boat forum here. Lots of info. Tons of room! 4 people in the boat all the time. Lots of room. Have trolled with 6 a couple times as well.
A bunch of buddies use Facebook to talk back and forth for fishing all season. I just have never broke down. I been telling myself stay out. Wife keeps saying- just put in your description “unless you want to talk fishin- don’t reach out to me”
On my 2200, I sink the trailer, then pull out till about 1/3 of the length of the top of the fenders are exposed. Will vary by angle of ramp. Flat ramps= more sunk. steep ramps = more out for me.
Phil Dean and Musky are right. My 2015 is the same as my 2019. The deeper you are, the more the stern floats. Need the rig to ride up the bunks. No problems for me. Once you master loading it, you can load in waves or heavy river currents no problem.
Both in Algoma
I would not worry one bit, i have a 250 yamaha and they noted to have a weak stream, that sounds pretty normal operation to me.
X2. Yamaha’s have a weak stream on the main. Kickers will scream the water out.
Just wanted to follow up on the location. Wanted the wires out of the way to open the compartments. Then didn’t want them all the way back on the gunwale and on the back deck. Hopefully screamin fish on soon!

X2 with DB. Every spring I take photos of everything. Then I do a 2-3 minute video of everything laying out and extra rods on the walls. Takes about 30 minutes from start to finish. A couple emails to the insurance guy and done! Now at the motels, I put the cover on and don’t sweat it. If stolen, shopping spree would start that morning to at least get me by for the trip.
Thanks guys

We fished with a guy by the name of Tyson. (727) 692-5868 He works with a buddy so they can accommodate four people. We site fished for reds all day. It was a great time. He had a ton of spots. Then at high tide he took us to a spot that was unbelievable. Wife and I caught some many reds in 45 minutes. It seemed every cast we had a fish on. My arms were so tired. It was a great day of fishing.
Guys
Justin and Ed are spot on. I don’t notice the 2 large rod tubes. I have 16 500LC trolling rods and they fit no problem. The locker may be an inch shallower 2014-18 (never measured) but has a extra lip that swallows up the top of the reel when upside down. I always run socks. Don’t care for individual tubes. Windshield is at same height as my last Skeeter, at least thats how it feels. Smoothmoves are installed. No problems and I am 6’. Livewell seems fine. Haven’t been down to Erie yet with 18- 22-24” eyes lol. I have only had 8 lakers 12-18 lbs in there for the most in the box on a trip. All Green Bay eye fishing was c&r since pickup of new rig. Prop- well talking with a couple pros, I stuck with the 20”. Full gear and 2 people- 5800 and 58 mph. Need more time on rig to see if its worth trying a different prop. The kicker is on the port side. At wot I will run the starboard trim tab down 2 notches. Balances the boat. If 2-3 footers, I will run 3 notches port and 5 notches starboard. Keeps the bow down and rides on top. This is with 4x12s. Phil you won’t lose money on the trim tabs. The little you will, will be in comfort. The 2200 is like no other walleye rig I have been in.
With the long weekend after xmas. And there is open water and manageable weather, we may take a ride down! Or see you in May Phil.
Phil I went from my 2060 to the new 2200 this past summer. If the CFO says no, make sure you don’t take a ride in one. But I will be down on Erie for sure the first week of May if you want to go out! Factory installed trim tabs are 12” wide and make the boat dig right/ left without any problems. You can get the bow to stay down in 2-3’ and ride right on top at any speed above 25. Just play with the throttle to get the best ride like Justin said.
I took a pic of my tab on the starboard side.

Ed-halfway through the season! Care to share any loves and hates? Top end speed? How does she handle in 2-3 footers? Any modifications?
There is an overflow. The water may be coming up through the drain and a probably getting your well wet through the overflow. Try plugging the overflow and go from there.
April 9
I am in! We have the last weekend of March on the calendar to take a 3 day trip down if weather allows. Otherwise the usual 2nd week of May is already scheduled.
Would like to take a ride with the trim tabs. I will have the new WX2200 around July. So the 2060 will be for sale soon!
Phil- open water a couple weeks away for you! What did you decide?
Very easy to remove/install. 5 minutes. When not installed, it lays down inside the dance floor. The isinglass snaps to the windshield, 2 supports on the gunwale where the post sides into permanent brackets. These brackets have quick release buttons. Very slick and easy.
I put mine on in 2015. All glass zips off in 5 pieces. I can run the top without for shade. I use it for cold and rain. Williams Canvas in GB. Great job. Only 4 hrs away lol. I dropped off the boat, finished in 3 days.

Been fishing Erie with a Skeeter since 2015. We go there 2 weeks a year. I currently own a 2015 wx2060. I go with a group. 2-3 boats a year different manufacturers. It handles well. No problems. If I am out on the water there is other walleye rigs out. If I am not out, the parking lots are empty, probably just 26’ cabin boats or larger. I have enjoyed the 2060, selling it and moving on and picking up the new 2200 come June! I fish Michigan and Green Bay all yesr. Got stuck out in some really nasty weather a couple times, 6 footers plus. Tight chop waves and large rollers. No problems getting back in. Let me know if you have any questions
No splash well…….?
Nitro has that. I have gotten wet a couple of times in my buddies boat when in the back kneeing down trolling or netting fish when rough!
Personally I use the flip down seats every time I have more then 2 people in the boat. Only time I use the extra seat is when it is rough out or cold out to get the passengers up closer to the windshield. I will hate to see those go away.
I heard from “someone” that the jump seats are removed from the WX2060. In place is a much larger lid that can hold more Plano boxes. The inside is still being worked on to create more tackle space and a whole new look inside. There is even some work being done to the outside.
There is nothing being done to the WX2190.
It will be interesting to hear the feed back on the removal of the jump seats. In my opinion that was one of the reasons I purchased a WX2060 was the jump seats. You can have that 3rd or 4th person in the boat, motor out, set up trolling and no seats in the dance floor to move around. I know the tackle boxes are small, but why not redesign the tackle box compartment and leave the seats. Just my opinion. It will be interesting to see the new rig. I was hoping the big news was a WX2290!!!
I purchased my numbers from this company. Numbers all taped together. 3 years old now. Still look brand new.
Kinns is/will be back to full strength before the start of the season. Last time I talked with Troy he was finishing up last boat. I fish out of Kewaunee all summer. Last 2 summers the best bite was June through beginning of August. Who knows what this year will bring.
I have a WX2060 and have 3 rod holders on each rail. I also have a 3 rod tree holder in front of my rail. I really like the trees. Last boat I had 3 rod holders on each side in a track. I think you are going to get a 50/50 answer. Good luck
What is your price range for rod and reel?
