Do you feel that Ranger boats are still as good as they once were? Or do you think another boat company has surpassed their legend for quality?
What part of a new Skeeter that you find cheap and bad craftmanship? of course there are different models and the low end model wouldn't be as nice as the high end. Have you take a look at the new Nitro lately? there are nothing cheap about them.<br />ranger are like snap on tools youre paying for the name.how could one boat make you catch anymore fish than the other.i drove a ranger worst turing and handling boat i ever drove.looked at a new skeeter. there kind of cheap bulit reminded me of a nitro.not very good craftsmenship and they are pricey.thats just my opinion i sure you could argue all day!!!!!!!!!!!!!<br />
While it has nothing to do with the topic of this thread, let me state for the record as a Auto Tech that there is a difference between Snap-on, Mac, Matco tools and Craftsman, Husky, and your other home type tools. Is the difference worth it for most home repairs, weekend tinkering, etc? Not most of the time. But when your livelihood depends on your tools, it is.Originally posted by racer 15:<br /> ranger are like snap on tools youre paying for the name.
Like I said, you must have looked at a low end model. Skeeter SX model don't have everything, TZX have almost everything and ZX are loaded like a Mercedes. Nitro 9 series are loaded also. You can't get a low end model Ranger or any other brand and expect to get a lots.<br />would could talk all day long about boats as for the skeeter i looked at was a bass boat there were wires hanging from under the dash the lids were hard to open cause they didn't fit good.there wasn't any lights in any rod lockers that was extrafor the the price you would think that would be standard equipment not knocking skeeter i know they have a good reputation friend has a nitro talk about poor quality!!!!!!!!!!!yes i looked at them a bass pro i would not buy one.but that's just me.<br /><br />
It can't be a top of the line if it doesn't have storage box lights. This is still one step below top of the line and stuff like that come standard.<br /><br /> http://www.skeeterboats.com/product_pages/zxboats/zxfeatures.html<br />im not saying i would not buy a skeeter.nitro no way its all about the beam.skeeter does have a wide beam the boat i looked at was a top of the line.why look at the cheap models.<br /><br />--------------------<br />brad stephens<br /><br /><br />
