| I had a Lund Explorer. Spent the summer of 2012 looking at Lund, Crestliner, Recon, Alumacraft, Skeeter, and Ranger. We looked at storage, layout, and price. Yes glass boats are more money but the ride you get on the water is great. We decided on the Skeeter MX 1825. The stability of the boat in the water with people fishing and moving around in the boat is excellent. Like the back 39 inch deep deck with a hole on each side for a butt seat. I can put 6 rods in the port side up to 12 feet. The Recon has a wide center storage but I found it cumbersome to get 8'6" rods in and out. Ranger is a very good boat but could not justify the price. I took test rides in different boats and took along two rods to check the rod storage. We found the Recon would wander left and right on the water at slow speeds were as the 1825 would stay straight. The MX 1825 is the right size and right price for us. I purchased our new Skeeter from MR. Marine in Fond du lac. A dealer that will put a Mercury on your Skeeter. Went with the new Merc 150 4S. Two people in the boat and gear, the boat will do 48 MPH. Took delivery in October 2012 and have about 20 hours on her in the fall. The ride is great, plenty of room.
