22 Foot Skeeter Bass Boats For Sale

The Skeeter ZX225 is a freshwater tournament bass boat built for anglers who want to compete at the highest level, with the larger ZX250 sitting above it in the lineup. Shoppers searching for a 22 foot Skeeter bass boat will find this hull measures just under 20 feet long and 95 inches wide, with a full deck footprint laid out for hard fishing days. It runs on aircraft-grade aluminum decking rather than wood, so the soft, rotting decks common to older boats aren't a concern here, and the below-deck storage buckets are poly. The boat is engineered to suit both the weekend angler running local club tournaments and the serious competitor.

Performance is the headline number most buyers want. With a Yamaha SHO four-stroke on the transom, this rig has hit 75.2 mph at wide-open throttle, up from 74.1 mph earlier in the season, and runs in the 70-to-80 mph range that defines modern bass boats. The four-stroke power means no two-stroke oil mixed into the gasoline, for cleaner and more fuel-efficient running. The hull holds composure at speed: it tracks through roughly a foot and a half of chop without spray or a wet ride, staying stable even at 73 to 74 mph, with a center-of-gravity design that keeps waves off the bow and stern.

The helm and electronics arrive pre-rigged so you don't have to add options later. A Lowrance HDS-9 touchscreen with side scan sits in the dash, and a second HDS-9 comes standard at the bow, letting you watch your sonar while running the trolling motor. A Minn Kota with 112 pounds of thrust is standard, which lets you run the motor at lower settings and save battery power. Speed underway is controlled by a recessed hot-foot accelerator pedal, so you set gear with the throttle and modulate speed with your foot, easing off fast when you need to slow.

Storage is built around tournament loads. You can keep 25 rods and reels below the front deck, plus brackets for 25 to 30 Plano-style tackle trays. The center console holds six rods, with banks of ten more on each side, and a dedicated day box keeps the lures you're actually fishing within reach. The bow casting platform has extra cushion across half its surface for long days of casting, the trolling motor foot control is recessed level into the deck for better balance, and a drink cooler sits between the seats. A divided rear live well lets you separate big fish from small.

Among the standard features that set it apart, a power pole comes fitted from the factory, with a second power pole and a cover offered as the few available options. The boat is sold in eight color combinations, such as the red-and-gunmetal scheme. For anyone browsing Skeeter bass boats for sale, the appeal of the ZX225 is that the high-end electronics, trolling motor, power pole and Yamaha power are already specified — you pick a color and go fishing. Confirm the exact engine rating, model year and rigging on any specific boat, since the ZX225 and ZX250 carry different power.
