Move went fine. The new server is much faster. Which is good!

I'm planning on moving to a new server within the next 2 to 3 weeks. Just a little friendly warning as there might be a few hours of odd behavior when the process starts. I will try to have it done at night or weekend.

I would think that they would be about the same.  The ZX 250 is 10 inches longer which should add boyancy compared to the ZX225, so that should cancel out the wieght difference with added boyancy. 

Have you found anything in particular yet?

Here ya go! Its a 2003 ZX250 with crappy eletronics that I'm replacing. A x-15 on console and eagle 480 on bow. 101lb minn kota maxxum pro. Everything works! It has a 26p mercury tempest prop on it.....not sure about that thing.

I just got home from trailering this thing from newark ohio through the freak snow/ice/rain storm sat when i took the pics, boat was covered but is still really dirty.




I have to get the stickers off this thing!

Congratulations

Help stop invasive spcies. Don't move fish between unconnected bodies of water. Clean, drain and dry your boat before launching on another water body.

i think there are enough glb skeeter owners now that we could start an exclusive club.  we could show up at restaurants and get the best tables, demand discounts at the grocery store, cut in line at cedar point, what have you.  and we could meet every saturday night @ Lytles house ;D

Dude,

I use to work for a Skeeter Dealer in San Antonio Tx and before I worked for those guys I was Ranger and Stratos through and through!!

After being around them and riding in them and now considering buying one, I know that there is no other boat on the market that can compete with it!!

The ZX225 is a sweet ride and the stability of this boat is uncomparable to anything else. I know the ranger guys are gonna fight this but truthfully the Lead Sled that all the Ranger boys talk about is actually lighter than the Skeeter I class boats and still can't run with them.

I am confident that your new Skeeter will treat you right and can handle anything that you try to put it through!!

Whatever that meant, it sounded good!!  I'm too cheap to buy a nice boat, so I run a Javelin, but I've passed a few Rangers and other "lake" boats on Lake Michigan.  It only goes as fast and as hard as you push it.  At least that's what she said!! :o
