This is the first time we've EVER owned NEW Boats! Its been a long time coming and we finally took the plunge!! After decades in the fishing industry, traveling the country and filming, neither Matt nor Tim has ever owned a brand new boat. Tim took the leap first and Matt isn't far behind. Come take a look at Tim's new Skeeter!
You've been seeing the Skeeter in videos for a few months now and the questions have been pouring in. We've been meaning to give you a tour for a while but we were busy dialing in the rigging, breaking in the motor, and getting to know the boat so we could answer any questions that might come up. After months of seat time, we can tell you with confidence that we love this boat!
Below you'll find links to the rigging components we used on the boat. All the gear links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item. We'll also list some of the custom components that we don't have links for, and some of the related videos of us catching big fish from the new FXR20.

JEALOUS!!!! Maybe when taxes come back I can paint my 10' jon boat and finally put a seat in it.

@mikem8502 Год назад

Lmao. I’m just trying to put a fish finder on a kayak. I’m super jealous and can’t understand how you’re average Joe can afford a boat like this.

@vb9300 Год назад

@@mikem8502 being blessed my friend. As a widowed husband and a single dad to 2 great kids (one being blind), its hard to find the money for sure not to mention the time to go fishing. I hear they finance boats now for 20yrs. Idk.

@tacticalbassin Год назад

I started in a float tube a few decades ago. I graduated to a 12' aluminum and then a bass tracker for several years. I've purchased used boats up until this one.

Skeeter for life. Been fishing out of a skeeter for over 2 decades now. From a top of the line 2001 zx200, 2003 zx225, a few years later another ZX 200… my old man was given a brand new top of line skeeter for his bass tournament season and was a salesman by day so he’d market them and promote them on the water, he could sell ice to a Eskimo. When he finished his professional career he ended up buying a Express. He just gave me a 1998 18ft Javelin Renegade MINT CONDITION with a BRAND NEW ($15000) 60hp mercury 4stroke , motor guide trolling motor..Two rod lockers, two seats , one console, two live wells, plenty of storage he got it for 5k- an absolute steal from a widowed wife. He bought that for me- a kayak angler.. I’m doing a little work to it and should be ready to go by summer… but i think I’ll still use my kayak majority of time since it’s cheaper, and all the places and honeyhiles where i make my content - i can easily acess by kayak and sometimes kayak only…so this will definitely give me a whole new experience making content on a bass boat rather than in a kayak where it’s like you’re there with me for the ride but I’m still stoked for the opportunities it presents! I just can’t wait to get my hummingbird set up and do some scooping on these Adirondack lakes that have never been scoped. Can’t wait to catch GIANTS that have never seen a lure

I'm glad for you getting a new boat, but as a fella who worked at Champion....I was about to say sad it's gone but I'm hearing you've kept it! That's awesome! I love those old Champions, guess I'm a bit impartial! Come over to Bull Shoals and put that back on its home water, come fish with us! 😃 Again, so glad to hear the Champion has earned the "muscle car garage status"!

@c.shoefish Год назад

I'm a huge champion fan myself, I was glad to know he still has it. They were built extremely well, and there's few boats out there even now that can match or beat the handling of those boats. My dream champion is a 203 elite. I will own one, eventually.

Nice rig! I’m currently running the 2022 fxr21. They are good comfortable boats. They are on the slower side but the big wide front deck for 2 anglers gives you tons of room. I do see there can be a potential of electrical issues in the skeeter with sub par butt connections with no heat shrink. But all & all great boats congratulations!

In rough water, how does this boat compare to your 210 in terms of ride quality and staying dry? Congratulations on the new boat!

@tacticalbassin Год назад

My cover fits with everything on it but it is tight lol. The only factor was availability honestly. I knew I would be without the Champ for quite a while and I wanted the new FXR. The 20 has been great but I haven't had it in giant water yet.

Great stuff as usual. You and Matt have been running big Humminbird units for a while now. I was wondering what voltage you see on that front Solix 15 using AGM’s? I have been down a rabbit hole and have stable power now but can’t seem to figure out a way to stay above 12V for more then a few hours as I have 2 Solix 15’s, a Solix 12, 360, live and lock. Asking around to see what other people are getting to see if I’m crazy. I was surprised to see you running AGM’s vs lithium.
