Skeeter, the famous American manufacturer of fast fishing boats, has just unveiled a new model, the WXR2060, with promising performance.

Skeeter, part of the Yamaha group, is specialized in high-performance fishing boats. After the WXR2060F, a boat widely acclaimed by the press and anglers alike, the brand is now launching a new model derived from its predecessor, the WXR2060 F. The W series stands for Deep-V Boats, boats which, as their name suggests, feature a deeper V hull for venturing further afield and into rougher water. It's basically a 27 ft long bass-boat. Among its features, the new WXR2060 boasts a flat aft deck with storage compartments for fishing gear and two retractable seats for getting underway. Pilot and co-pilot seats and a third seat in the cockpit are also provided. The foredeck also offers plenty of room for rods, lures and other gear.
