Okay I'll be the odd ball on this forum.

I have a 2004 Skeeter ZX 225 its one of the Federation Championship boats. Black metal Flake and white. 225 HPDI Yamaha with LMS 480, LCF 1140, X135 in the bow. Motor Guide Digital with the transducer built in.

Just bought my first bass boat. It's a 2005 G3 HP 170 with a Yamaha 115 4-stroke! Had it 3 weeks and weather hasn't allowed me to get to the lake, but this coming Saturday is suppose to be mostly cloudy and 63 degrees (yummy). So, I hope she flies! I've heard that this boat should do 50-53mph. I shopped around BIG TIME before deciding on G3. I looked at Xpress and Bass Tracker.....and neither of them have anything on the G3 HP series! And the price? All 3 brands were about the same price....in the range of $17k. Now, let me tell you this.... for $17,000 on the Bass Tracker Pro Team 175, the LARGEST engine you can get is a 2-stroke 75hp. But with the G3 HP 170, you get the Yahama 115 4 stroke! ALso, the G3 has the WIDEST beam of ALL 17' aluminum boats which is 90" (wow). So, I'd like to hear from all of you.... which aluminum boat would YOU say is the best for your money?

If you got one you like, what difference does it make what someone else likes?

I had two Fishers. I liked them. I've looked at Trackers, G3's, and a half dozen others. I liked them too.

;D WHAT ELSE? A SKEETER!! ;D

It was a dealer's demo boat. ZX 250 with a YAM 300 HPDI. This isn't my first boat, or Skeeter, but it will be the last time I change makers. Skeeter just can't be beat in my opinion. The dealer demo always comes at a good price too!
