Did you purchase it up here or down south? First year I had my bassboat I think I drove it everyday, now all I want to do is upgrade items, add more crap and keep trying to make it faster, still love my boat after 3 years. I'm in the same state as you I can't wait for the ice to melt.

it was listed on kijijijij and on BFB............bought it down in southern ontario..............

it will run in the low 60's...........fast enough for most days.............there are posts on other forums about this boat............a guy has 225 on the back of his and ran her at 91mph.............scared the poop out of him and he propped her back down to 80mph..........boat could not handle that fast...very unstable and felt like it was coming apart at the seems......lol you figure.........

may upgrade some day to a 20 fter with a 225 but that is a lot of boat to haul and launch ....i fish alone a lot of the time and a boat that big doesn't really suit my needs...............

the only thing you gain with the bigger boat is another 15mph............

this one will do for now...........don't plan on messing with the set up just to gain 10mph............or adding anything..........it has a finder built in the dash and another up front and a gps/finder at console as well.............good electric on it and a on-board charger...........there is nothing that needs to be added except water........

Make sure to take photos of the work you do on that one...would love to see it finished...would be a great report for this forum as well.....all you lucky dawgs with your boats

I'll start another thread in the Boat Marina forum. The work has started and I have pictures of the progress. Once the home computer is fixed I'll load the pics and post them with a description of the work that's taken place.

Here is my 2004 18' Skeeter. 125 merc, 75lb minkota, hummingbird electronix......

IT IS FOR SALE FYI. I need more horseys and length. It gets the job done just fine though, alot of fish have met the live wells.

A trade is in the works with hastings marine right now.....SO act fast if your interested.

[mattdbz29]

nice boat scottser... thought you were a trout fisherman though??? lol

[The.Scottster]

LMAO why can't you fish trout in my boat? I can canoe on the small lakes but I miss my trolling motor for sure, call me lazy!

The laker in my avatar any many like her have been caught in the Skeet!
