Skeeter, builder of high-performance fishing boats, has introduced its new FXE bass boat model line.
The craft is powered by Yamaha V MAX SHO 250hp outboards and built using advanced CAD-CAM engineering and CNC manufacturing technology.
The FXE has been manufactured using new precision processes to create a symmetrical FXE hull designed to improve handling.
This ‘nex-gen’ hull architecture features a newly developed planing sponson and sponson relief area, which together are designed to help the boat plane faster and support improved acceleration and overall performance.
A redesigned centre running pad has been incorporated to further enhance performance by allowing the boat to ride ‘on’ the pad rather than forcing the pad through the water.
Precision engineering
This design has been developed to improve lift, efficiency, handling and load-carrying capability while also creating a more stable and controlled driving experience at speed.
“The launch of the FXE Series marks a major step forward in Skeeter’s continued pursuit of innovation, performance and precision engineering,” said John Clark, general manager, Skeeter Boats.
“In fact, it’s more than a new boat – it’s a new benchmark.
“Every line, angle, and surface of this hull was purpose-built to create an experience on the water unlike anything we’ve ever produced.
“The FXE is designed to deliver faster holeshot, improved top-end performance, exceptional control, and a ride that stays composed in a range of conditions.
“It’s the ultimate bass boat and represents engineered dominance within this segment.”
High-speed turning capability
The FXE hull incorporates a 17-degree deadrise, designed to push water away from the boat under aggressive operating conditions.
In addition, new hull strakes deliver improved directional stability and high-speed turning capability.
Inside, the FXE features a two-piece console with the Skeeter Command Centre, an integrated electronics’ shelf and a removable windshield that provides easier access to electronics rigging.
Additional standard features include a full fibreglass front deck, new water drainage channels that direct water and moisture to the bilge, a larger day box with an electronics cabinet underneath, redesigned seating with integrated grab handles, a new passenger rod ramp, a ‘kick-up’ trash can lid and a new multiuse step.
The FXE’s battery compartment is also 30% larger than comparable Skeeter models.
The new models will be available through select Skeeter dealerships in late June 2026. Skeeter is a Yamaha boat company.
