Skeeter Bass Boat High Speed Turn. Over 45 years ago a man named Holmes Thormond of Shreveport Louisiana designed what has recognized today as the original bass boat the Skeeter. I have a 16ft.
They all make decent boats. Speeds below about 35 mph and it is impossible to nail an RPM because of the need to. These important performance features limit the amount of heel the boat will experience during mid- to high-speed turns to keep you in control.
I just think its a great all around boat.
Skeeter challenged their engineers some that came from the F-16 sector of the aerospace industry to build a bass boat that would meet the demands of a serious tournament fisherman. In the special world of bass boats designed for high-output engines in the 150 to 175 HP range the Skeeter ZX175 rules the waves. The steering wheel acts like it is in a bind. You can turn at speed with no hint of skiddingand simply run.
