Not sure what brand boat the 3rd pic is. I would go with the Triton over the Skeeter. I know someone who as the 24'LTS and it is a nice boat. I recently traded in my Xpress HD22B for the X22B which has the hyper-lift hull. I took it out to the Mardi Gras rigs this week out of Dularge and it cuts 2' waves like a fiberglass. I was very impressed with the ride. The dry weight of the X22B is 1,700 lbs which is more than most 22' fiberglass boats. It is made of .125" thick alum and it has a V. Not sure what length boat you are looking at but from the pictures it looks like 18-20' range. I would get at least a 21'. One last thing do yourself a favor and get the 4 stroke. I had an HPDI on my last boat nice motor but you cannot compared it to the 4 stroke Yamaha. I will never own a 2 stroke again. They are very quite motors. Also I put a jack plate on my new boat at right at 6K rpms with three in the boat it does 50 on the GPS.

deff go with the yamaha fourstroke on your bay boat. since most of the transoms on bay boats now are 25 you really dont have the choice of running the vmax only the 200 hpdi. that skeeter 20 has a 20inch transom i believe. if weight is an issue and you like to float shallower then get the hpdi. just dont get a merc. or even worse an etec. if you got that lake and bay id like to see the 250vmaxseries2 on her. would you be able to get to the weirs real quick lol.

It may be hard to get a Yamaha with a Triton since they are owned by Brunswick which owns MERC if I am not mistaken.

Have you looked at Black Jacks? If I would ever get a fiberglass I would get a Black Jack or a Blazer Bay.

out of those three, i would get a lake and bay and never look back........

i'm guessing the backwater 20 is a lot more money than the 20 skeeter/triton

what about a 20 bay ranger?

W, a ol' friend of mine, Earl Bentz started Triton,,he had previously started Hydra-Sport and Stratos then sold out to another major marine company...He builds a great boat,,just hope the new owners carry-forward his ethic..!!

i think two other good boats that are overlooked are Cobia (made by pathfinder now)
and hydrasports (made by genmar who makes ranger and champion)

they make a 19, looks like a flats boat on steroids

[SIZE=3]My good friend has a Blackjack I fish out of a lot. I really don’t want anything over 21ft because I don’t need anything that big. I also haul my boat a lot and don’t want the extra weight! 20-21 foot is about all I want!!![/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]Bruce I can get that 20ft Lake and Bay for a little bit more than the Triton!![/SIZE]
