Warrior V21-21 or Skeeter WX2100

[brentfrank]

Going to buy one of these this weekend, can't make up my mind. Any thoughts?

I don't think you can go wrong with the Warrior. With all of the improvements they have made over the last 5 years they have really pushed themselves to the front of the pack when it comes to walleye boats. First class boats and first class customer service from the factory. Have fun with your new boat.

Both are sweet rigs but If it was up to me I would go Skeeter. Again not to nock warrior cause they are sweet rigs. I like the skeeter layouts more and never had heard anything bad about them.

I'm on my second Warrior 21-21-----------IMHO --- an awsome boat---- I absolutely love it. I also looked at a Skeeter before purchasing my second Warrior --- nice boat also. I love the deeper 21-21 and appreciate the ride.

Well after much thought I decided on the Skeeter. Dealer support and layout were the deciding factors. Thanks guys for your input.

Pictures????

Boat won't be ready till end of week. They have to mount T-8 and change out some electronics, mount marine band radio finish rigging. Dealer is located 2 hours from me, told him I'd be back on Thursday or Friday. Will try to get some pictures then. Can't wait to get it on the water. The wife is almost more excited than I am. My son and 2 young grandkids (3 years and 6 months) want to come this weekend and she told him she wasn"t baby sitting so that he and I could go fishing. They live 3.5 hrs. away and we don't get to see them very often so I know she is excited. My wife fishes with me every weekend except when they come.

We purchased a 2100 this year after much research, been using her on Lake of the Woods, coupled with 250 Yahmaha and 9.9 kicker. What a combo. I was looking hard a Warrior, good solid boats, lack fit and finish, and creature comfort. The WX2100 is truly awesome! I had two Pro-V's and this thing is a major step up. Also, sounds like Warrior only made 48 boats last year and are having major dealer problems due to no customer service. I'm happy to have made the choice we did! Handles 5 and 6 footers in stride and best of all, DRY!

Well I've had my Skeeter almost a year now and WE LOVE IT. You know its kinda hard to read and listen to some of the bashing on Skeeter. I've had NO issues as of yet and have been on the water almost every weekend since mid April. Everyone thinking about a glass boat should take a long hard look at Skeeter and go for a ride if they can. One thing that I've noticed is that there are not many Skeeters listed in any Classifieds, this could be because there aren't as many out there, but I think that Skeeter owners are just happy and see no need to sell.

Those were the 2 boats on my short list. I bought the Warrior. My second one... it's perfect for me. I still get drawn to looking at the skeeter as it's also a very nice boat. As far as customer service in the 6 years of ownership I needed service once and was treated w/ great respect. I needed a new windshield some hardwear and a little buffing of a spot in the fiberglass. They even replaced the tounge jack when they saw it was leaking oil. All at N/C. I don't know many companies where you can pick up the phone and talk to the president or CEO by just calling. Dealer network is sparse but worth the drive in my opinion. When I needed service I made an appointment, drove the 5 hrs up , took the factory tour (very interesting),went to Rogers Cabela's to blow some time and $$,Then picked my boat up and when fishing on Mille Lacs for a few days. Not a bad trip. I think it's hard for a dealer to stock Warriors because they are not your mainstream rig. They are walleye specific and $$ you need to be in the right area of the country to sell many of them. I notice they are few and far between in the classifides and don't last long when posted. Cabela's used to sell them but all manufacturers pay for the catolog advertising and that was a big budget concern for a small company. Mn. and the Dakota's have a good dealer network. My experience has been great!

Congrats on the purchase. Both are awesome boats. :)
