Lowrance announced today it reached a three-year agreement to form an exclusive partnership with Skeeter Performance Fishing Boats. Lowrance HDS Gen2 Touch navigation systems and Elite-3x fishfinders will now be the standard electronics systems offered on Skeeter high-performance bass, multi-species and saltwater fishing boats. The contract will carry through to the 2017 model year.
Effective immediately, the HDS Gen2 Touch fishfinder/chartplotter combination display is offered standard on all Skeeter FX, ZX and TZX model boats and optional on multi-species and saltwater class fishing boats.
The new Elite-3x fishinder, offered as an option on SL model boats, provides anglers with features traditionally reserved for much larger units, such as full color backlit LED screens, broadband sounder technology and Advanced Signal Processing (ASP).
“At Skeeter we have built a reputation for listening to our dealer network and the performance requirements of end users,” said Jeff Stone, Skeeter Boats' senior vice president and general manager. “Back by popular demand, we are pleased to once again be able to offer Lowrance products on our boats.”
Added Leif Ottosson, CEO and president of Lowrance, “Skeeter's pursuit of perfection is evident in the way they engineer their high quality bass boats. The Lowrance HDS Gen2 Touch and Elite-3x model fishfinder and navigation systems complement their philosophy by offering unmatched clarity and functionality.”
