    Default LOOKING FOR ANOTHER BOAT


    My son was on his way fishing early Saturday morning. He
    was pulling his Skeeter 190. He got rear ended by a speeding car that pushed him hard into a deep ditch. Everybody was OK.
    But his boat suffered greatly. It was a 2002 SkeeterSL with 150 Vmax. It was a wonderful boat.
    We will be searching for another glass boat after this. What do you guys recommend? We want to be 19 to 21 foot, not new but late model, Our ceiling is about 30,000. But we would rather come in well below that. He loves bass fishing but does not fish tournaments. Does his crappie fishing with old dad.
    The Skeeter was a fish & ski. He liked the extra seating to take the family to sand bars and ski. But he might go straight bass boat this time around. I think he would like the larger deck.

    Thanks everyone. We looked a craigslist and boat trader. Those were the only places we knew about other than looking at dealer used inventories. We will check out those other sites you've mentioned. He has his heart set on a skeeter 210SL.

    That's terrible. At least you live to fish again! I'm looking for a new boat as well after buying the last one 5 month's ago. I want a 19' long 7' wide stick steer with a Honda 90hp. No one makes them. Whoever does it first will get rich.

    I’d look for a Phoenix, Stratos, or Triton in the size range you want.
