Looking at one for the fam. Mainly I want to fish but wife loves to do water sports etc. I'm looking at a 2004 with a VMAX 150 and and 05 with a VMAX 20o. Love to hear real world experience form folks, especially if they fish. Everybody says F?S suck, but so do bass boats for carrying people. Thx.

Don't have a Skeeter, but I got a Ranger F&S. Every boat's a compromise in some respect, and the family's high on my list of priorities so I do what I have to do to have a fishing boat that works for all of us. Mine turned out to be a good fit for the family. :)

Yes, I have an 07 Reata. Great boat and sufficiently outfitted for fishing for my needs. I looked hard at the Skeeters - Very nice boats, and they meet my first requirement, No Wood.

I'm purchasing a Procraft 200 Combo with 200 Optimax, but due to a title issue, don't have the boat to give a review yet. Hopefully in a couple of weeks. With that said, I have been looking at several F&S's and feel it's the right boat for us. It's all about compromise, and whether you want to do more fishing, or more playing. Hopefully I will have a complete review soon!
