DESCRIPTION
Step back into the classic era of high-performance Skeeter tournament bass boats with this 1997 Skeeter ZX185C.
At 18'5" with a 92" beam, the ZX185C was designed as a serious fishing platform, combining a performance-oriented hull with a spacious front casting deck, substantial tackle and rod storage, tournament livewell capabilities, and a driver's cockpit designed around the angler.
Skeeter's period literature describes the ZX185C as a high-performance bass boat engineered for confident handling in turns and rough water. The hull incorporates Skeeter's composite construction, stretched sponsons and a unique no-splashwell stern design intended to provide additional lift and buoyancy while reducing backwash.
This is a classic Skeeter for the angler looking for an 18-foot tournament-style bass boat with proven fishing-oriented design and plenty of room for equipment.
