Skeeter has been a leader in bass boat design and development since the middle of the 20th century . Now , in the 21st century , they ’ ve broadened their scope to include boats of the same legendary caliber for the saltwater market . We would all love to have two boats - one to work the flats and another to run offshore . But like most anglers , aside from the very fortunate few , who has the money to support two vessels ?

That ’ s why so many people tend to lean toward a bay boat . It is the perfect fishing platform for the widest variety of locations and conditions .
There was a time when most guides would have thought twice about making a long run across the open water of their home bay or inlet on a choppy day . That ’ s no longer an issue with this new breed . Big , deep-draft boats do well in rough seas , but they can ’ t get into the skinny water where the redfish roam .
It ’ s all about the boat . The areas you can fish are definitely limited by the type of boat you have . With Skeeter ’ s new SX240 , you don ’ t have to worry about that anymore . Now you can go anywhere you want , and do it quickly . One moment you ’ re fishing right on the coast , the next you ’ re trolling live-bait rigs 10 miles offshore . This boat takes you wherever the fish are – which is where you want to be .
