Skeeter Boats is deepening its long-standing partnership with Johnson Outdoors by making Humminbird MEGA Live 2 Forward-Facing Sonar an option on all 2026 XR APEX, FLEX, PRO or ZXE bass boats. 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 Series of fish finders — 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 elevate the fishing experience with Skeeter,” said Betsy Radue, Director Brand Management. “By bringing Humminbird’s MEGA Live 2 Forward-Facing Sonar and the all-new XPLORE Series of fish finders to Skeeter’s high-performance boats, we’re empowering Skeeter anglers to fish smarter and more effectively with Humminbird’s best-in-class image clarity, unmatched detail and seamless integration with Minn Kota trolling motors and shallow water anchors.”
Added Chris Brown, Brand Marketing Manager at Skeeter Boats, “Our anglers expect the best, and Humminbird MEGA Live 2 delivers—offering incredible clarity and detail that helps them make decisions on the water with confidence. Combined with new XPLORE Series and trusted Minn Kota trolling motor integration, we’re giving our customers a setup that’s not just advanced, but easy to use—so they can spend more time focused on fishing.”
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.”
