I bought a 2001 ZX2200 with a 200 HPDI from the original owner last summer. Has a 8" manual jackplate and no tabs. Absolutely love the boat.
I'm a freshwater fisherman, and wanted something I could take more than one person out with me on. The ZX2200 is like a bass boat on steriods and is much more flexible than a bass boat would ever be, plus I have the option of heading to the coast with it as well (which neither I or the prior owner has done). But for fresh water it makes a heck of a striper and catfish boat, and will hold 4 or 5 corn fed buddies on a crappie outing tied up under the bridge at night. It has a lot deeper sides than many bay boats too.
One thing some of the newer models have is the two extra storage lockers on the sides near the front (the rod and other storage locker). I think they started adding these in 2003-04 but I'm not sure. A newer year might be a pricing issue, but take a look at the difference in the design. Don't get me wrong, mine has plenty of storage, but the next model has a little more.
I also use the flip seat cooler for dry storage. The prior owner had his dealer plumb the front jump seat in front of the console as a recirculating shad tank, but it still makes an excellent ice chest as it's insulated. The front storage lockers are HUGE, and there is a nice fish locker.
My numbers are pretty much spot on with Skeeter2200's.
I would be a little leary of the 250 HPDI's as the early years are the ones I keep reading about problems with. The 200's seem to be rock solid though. Suggest you do some reseach and make sure to check with the seller's service center for history especially on a 250. The only factory service mine needed was the oil pump update Yamaha mandated. Other than that, regular schedule maintenance and it's purring like a kitten. The prior owner was pretty meticulious about service however.
The Skeeter ZX2200 will fit through a single car "boat door" in the average home (mine is a 9' wide door). It has about 3" to spare on the sides and I do have to tilt the windshied & grab rail down (it's made to do this - take out the two hex bolts and it's swings down).
If you are planning on putting trim tabs on a 2001 model it may be hard. The transom layout is a little strange as it has a built in setback under the centerline (look at a 2001 and you will see what I mean). Not a lot of straight line to put 12" tabs on.
Here are a few photos of mine.
Oh, and the last photo has what looks like a narrow alluminum boat sitting next to it. That's a 17 1/2' boat on the 17x56 bottom platform. That' ain't no small boat, but it shows how big the ZX2200 really is.
