Buying first boat

[Tyler23]

So I’m looking to purchase my first bass boat and I’m down to two options a 2021 caymas cx20 with power poles love scope and two hds live or a 2020 skeeter apex 20 with two humminbird 12s and power poles there the same price the caymas has 80 hours the skeeter has 130 which boat is more reliable and the better value in y’all’s opinion?

What outboard is on each and which looks overall better cared for?

[Tyler23]

Both have a 250 caymas has merc skeeter has a Yamaha boat look to be in very good condition

I’ve never been on a Caymas but what I’ve read they seem to be a solid boat. As for a Skeeter and Yamaha outboard you can’t go wrong imho. “Little bias here.” 
It comes down to which one You feel the best fit for you. Good luck on your choice and show pics when you decide.

First consideration would be which one is serviced close to you and has the best mechanic.  Dealer is also very important.

Does the Skeeter have power poles or talons?  It makes a difference functionally.  What gps/sonar units do each have.  What trolling motors are on each?  What batteries are in each and how many?

I find love scope difficult in boats under 23 feet...

Agree with TOXIC.  Definitely buy from the dealership you prefer for service.  Check them out.

Just let me know what time to meet you at the launch after you make the purchase. Thanks
