I’ve never been on a Caymas but what I’ve read they seem to be a solid boat. As for a Skeeter and Yamaha outboard you can’t go wrong imho. “Little bias here.” 
It comes down to which one You feel the best fit for you. Good luck on your choice and show pics when you decide.

First consideration would be which one is serviced close to you and has the best mechanic.  Dealer is also very important.

Does the Skeeter have power poles or talons?  It makes a difference functionally.  What gps/sonar units do each have.  What trolling motors are on each?  What batteries are in each and how many?

I find love scope difficult in boats under 23 feet...

Agree with TOXIC.  Definitely buy from the dealership you prefer for service.  Check them out.
