2021 Skeeter SX 230

Step aboard and you’ll notice how Skeeter squeezed every inch of utility out of this 23-footer. The wide bow deck gives your crew room to spread out, with raised casting platforms that stay stable when everyone’s working a school of fish at once. The console windshield and grab rail add a bit of protection on those breezy runs, while the leaning post, tackle storage, and rod racks keep gear organized instead of underfoot. Non-skid throughout lets you move with confidence when the deck’s wet, and the low gunwales make netting and releasing fish quick and easy. It’s a boat that feels purpose-built for anglers who spend long days chasing tides.

In local back bays and coastal shallows, the SX 230’s hull really shines. It carries enough beam to stay sure-footed when you’re drifting a flat, yet drafts shallow enough to slide across oyster edges and sandbars where bigger rides can’t follow. When the afternoon chop kicks up, the running surface softens the ride without beating you up on the way back to the ramp. Plenty of livewell capacity keeps bait frisky through a tide change, and the open cockpit layout lets multiple anglers work around the boat without tangling. For waters that demand both shallow access and confident runs across open stretches, this model hits a sweet spot.
