Skeeter Adds Integrated Minn Kota and Humminbird MEGA Live Imaging 2 Electronics as Factory Option

RACINE, W.I. Skeeter Boats is deepening its long-standing partnership with Johnson Outdoors by making Humminbird MEGA Live Imaging 2 an option on all 2025 models. These flagship packages will also feature a complete suite of integrated Minn Kota and Humminbird products—trolling motors, shallow water anchors, sonar, battery chargers, and the all-new Humminbird XPLORE—giving anglers a fully connected, competition-ready electronics system straight from the factory.

By including the Humminbird MEGA Live 2 and XPLORE, Skeeter boats provide an intuitive, high-performance setup designed to take the guesswork out of rigging your new boat. With everything seamlessly integrated at the factory, the system ensures ease of use and flawless performance—making it easier than ever to get out on the water and start fishing without delays or additional setup.

“Johnson Outdoors is proud to continue pushing the boundaries of fishing technology with Skeeter,” said Betsy Radue, Director of Brand Management. “By bringing Humminbird’s MEGA Live Imaging 2 and the all-new Humminbird XPLORE to Skeeter’s high-performance boats, we’re offering anglers the precision and reliability they need to fish smarter and more effectively.”

Added Chris Brown, Brand Marketing Manager at Skeeter Boats, “Integrating Humminbird and Minn Kota technology into our Skeeter boats provides a seamless experience for our owners. The partnership offers consumers the latest user interface systems with advanced sonar and navigation, ensuring they have the most advanced tools available for both competitive anglers and those seeking the best on-water experience.”

With these integrated technologies, Skeeter boat owners now have access to a powerful, factory-installed system that connects all their electronics, making it easier than ever to maximize performance on the water. The combination of MEGA Live 2 and XPLORE allows for real-time, detailed imaging and intuitive navigation, while Minn Kota trolling motors and shallow water anchors enhance boat control.

“This is the first time Skeeter has offered forward-facing sonar (FFS) as part of their boat packages, and they’ve chosen MEGA Live 2,” said Brandon Palaniuk, Elite Series Pro. “New models come with Humminbird XPLORE, with the option to upgrade to APEX. With features like enhanced clarity, improved target separation, and real-time sonar feedback, anglers now have access to the same setup I use on the Elite Series—available as a seamless and integrated, factory-rigged option for Skeeter boats.”
