I'm not trying to rush winter. I'm sure some semblance of winter is on the way. That means we are approaching the 2026 Ultimate Sport Show Tour - the three biggest fishing and outdoor sport shows in Michigan!

Yesterday at the Natural Resources Commission meeting in Lansing, science prevailed thanks to many, many persons who took the time to write in, and especially those who showed up to speak before the Commission on Commissioner Walters’ amendment to close bass fishing on the Inland Waterway and Black Lake from May 1 until the third Saturday in June.

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?

LipRip

Found a zx225 in IL that seems like a real good deal....but im holding out to see what comes available after the UFS.

LipRip

Well, I'm the proud new owner of a ZX250! Thanks for all the input fellas.

mikesmiph

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!

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.

Very NICE !!!!

What's with the news these days on the TV and the radio. Can't find the truth amongst the lies. Some talking head that claims to live their life in a better way, says I have to compromise. But now there's something on the rise. Truth has opened up my eyes. There's no running from your dirty lies. You can't avoid the truth. I'll no longer close my eyes.

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
