20 Foot Skeeter Bass Boats For Sale

The 20-foot Skeeter bass boat runs across several closely related models, including the FXR20, the ZXR20, the ZX20, and the ZXE20 introduced for 2026. Skeeter builds these boats in Kilgore, Texas, and helped define the nationally advertised package bass boat back in 2015 with the ZX225 and ZX250, pairing a set price with rigged options. The 20-footer suits tournament anglers who carry heavy tackle loads, but it also doubles as a family ride to the sandbar, with a wider, more stable hull than smaller 18-foot bass boats. Shoppers looking for skeeter bass boats for sale in Texas are searching the same state where these hulls are made.

Power on the 20-foot platform centers on a 250-hp Yamaha four-stroke, offered as the SHO and the V-MAX SHO. The 2026 ZXE20 carries the same hull as the previous FXR and ZXR, with reduced sponsons to make room for an extended battery compartment, a fiberglass top cap, and a trolling motor tucked in tighter. Set up with a manual jack plate and a 25-pitch Yamaha T3 prop, the ZXE20 reached 70 mph with two people aboard and 72 mph with one, and speed drops as you add a full tournament load and live wells. A ZXR20 with the Yamaha V-MAX 250 ran low to mid-70s straight from the factory under a full load. The hull holds corners hard, stays planted in waves up to four feet, and a hydraulic jack plate such as the Atlas helps it get on pad out of shallow water.

The helm uses simple toggle switches, a hot foot throttle, and a factory graph mount that holds units like the Hummingbird Helix 12 and Helix 9. Owners commonly run dual screens, networking Lowrance HDS Pro and Elite FS units, Garmin GPSMAP with LiveScope, or Hummingbird Mega 360 and the Helix series. Trolling motors include the Minn Kota Ultrex Quest with wireless spot-lock or a swapped-in Lowrance Ghost, with Minn Kota Raptor shallow-water anchors standard and active anchoring that resets deeper when boat wakes hit. Battery setups range from five conventional AGM and lead-acid batteries to lithium systems such as Dakota Lithium and a Lithium Pro 36V trolling battery carrying a long warranty; a Minn Kota Precision four-bank charger is included.

Storage is one of the strongest features. The center bow compartment is deep and wide, opening with a single handle on some models and holding enough tackle for months of fishing, with organizers sized for 3700 Plano boxes. The rod locker uses mega tubes and slam latches, and the 2026 ZXE adds a four-tiered co-angler rod ramp and back compartments roughly 30 percent larger. The front deck is padded where you stand, with metal foot-pedal trays, pop-up cleats, and built-in rod buckles. A center cooler seat is deeply insulated, swallowing a 20-pound bag of ice plus drinks, and the cockpit uses a two-tier step up to the deck.

Build details reflect the price-conscious package approach without feeling cheap. The decks use an aluminum grid system, though the 2026 ZXE moves to a fiberglass front deck with deep drainage channels while keeping the aluminum grid in the stern. A Dry Dock fan system circulates air through every compartment to cut moisture and mildew, and an oxygenator and large side-opening live wells handle fish care. Points to weigh when shopping used Skeeter bass boats: rear and battery compartments are designed to be accessed from outside the boat, the trim gauge sits low at the console, and seats can show wear, so inspect the driver's seat closely. Whether you want a new Skeeter bass boat or a used one by owner, the 20-foot models hold their reputation as fast, rough-water-capable, storage-heavy tournament rigs.
