I own a 2007 skeeter ZX225 w/225 Yamaha HPDI and its a great boat, it has the best of both worlds speed and handeling. Your never gonna get a bass boat thats the fastest and handles well, and your not going to get a bass boat that handles the best and runs fast. I used to have a SX180 and it was a nice boat i just wanted a bit more speed. I have bought 2 skeeter boats and I would never buy anything else because skeeter boats have the best of both worlds handeling and speed. If you need more info feel free to call me at 502-664-6474.
