Thoughts
Looking into upgrading my boat..looking at an 08 ranger z20 comanche, 08 nitro x2 (20ft) or possible skeeter zx225.(Lil over my budget)all the ranger and nitro are both roughly $30k..also a possible I think 2011 ranger 188vx (has a 175 yamaha) for $28k..with 11 rods and reels and tackle (unknown brands)

Revo Sx
Every size bait is different in weight and resistance when casting..I can't really explain it cause I go by a feel for it..I love my sx and it isn't for anything lighter than 3/8 really with 14lb line on it..that's WhT I use

Triton Or Skeeter
I've decided now, since I live in CT, im more than likely going 5o wait till next season to buy a boat. There is a boat show in January every year so I'll be able to get more in depth with ranger, skeeter, triton, etc. .qybe that won be the best too, pending g on where you live

Triton Or Skeeter
I was gonna say, when I was on the skeeter, we were going over the top of wakes from other boats and we hit some from a couple 50+ft boats and was fine..we hit the regular wakes at 65+ ..hit one at 70ish and didn't notice it

Triton Or Skeeter

Triton Or Skeeter
I didn't look into triton cause ik the big ones are way to expensive..I'm going with the tzx 190 with a 175 vmax cause the deer was telling me that for 2016, the 190 is going up $10k and coming g loaded to compete with ranger z118c, which is loaded and in that 18ft class..however, I like the layout of ranger better

Triton Or Skeeter
I'm looking into the tzx 190 myself..skeeters only come with yamaha..I did a demo last year on the Delaware during the bass elite series..the guy said it would be sacraligious..like putting a Ford or chevy small block into a Mopar car..I was told ranger over skeeter but I got my eyes on the skeeter..they handle ridiculously well

It's up in the air right now for me...I might just stay with regular down imaging on the bow if I don't decide to switch to hummingbirds

Lowrance Spotlight Scan
The Garmin looks cool, but the quality in the picture sucks and also looks like it's going g to take a while to understand

Which To Get
Mason, I fell In love with the skeeter brand after the BASS elite on the Delaware river in Philly lastyear. I was able to go out a demo of the fx20 and nitro z9. The fx20 was ridiculous!

Which To Get
I live in CT. The guy I talked was a guy who does tournaments all over the east. It started cause I asked bout talons or power poles and I told him the boat. I believe they have the same hull design from The tzx to the fx which is why I'd want the skeeter. When people see a ranger, they already know quality. The tzx is at 30k but next year it's going g to 40k to compete with ranger z 118
