Default skeeter boats

Sold my 620 and have a burning desire to buy a wx2100 but cant find a used one anywhere in the USA. I did find a wx1880, how bad would I hate myself for going that route? Mostly bigger water use. I never thought it would be so hard to buy a used boat!!!

I own a 2010 WX1850, which is the same as the 1880. I absolutely love my boat and wouldn't trade it for any other boat in it's class, however, you are talking about going from a 20 foot boat (your ranger) to a 18 foot boat. I think you would notice the difference and you would regret it. That would be like me going from my 18 footer to a 16 footer. I know how tough it is to find the right boat. I've wanted to buy used the last 3 boat purchases, but in every case, I bought new because I couldn't find what I was looking for, and would have regretted buying something that "would do". Be patient and good luck.

That is one of the reasons I choose Skeeter over Ranger. There are a million used Rangers out there. However trying to find a used Skeeter is harder than finding a polar bear in the Grand Canyon.

To me that means everyone who owns a Skeeter, holds onto is and isn't trying to get away from their purchase.

Love my WX2100, DON'T DOWNSIZE. Buy a WX2100 and run in it on big water and you will wonder why you didn't sell your Ranger sooner.

The Skeeter will have more room in the back even with the 1880 or 1850 because it dosen't have the big storage compartments in the back like the ranger. But for big water it is hard to beat the 2100.

The skeeterstore in Wisconsin has some 2010 new holdovers. The last two used skeeters here sold in less than 2 days.

I can't speak to that. Except for the fact that this year Skeeter can't keep up with orders.
