Madhouse27 Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 Hey I'm pumped. Just made a deal on the 1998 17ft Skeeter Aluminum bass boat with a Yamaha 40 hp outboard that I'd meantioned in another post. After weighing my towing and storage situation I'd decided to go with an aluminum boat for a few years until I have a garage to park a big dollar rig in. The G3's were certainly my first choice but I didn't want to break the bank on a boat that was going to be a relatively short term deal. This Skeeter was a predecessor to the G3's and is somewhat close in design and layout. It should tow great behind the 4Runner and keep me on the water way under budget. Paid $3900 which leaves me with a good chunk left in the boat fund. Going to take the TM and electronics from my current boat and move them onto the Skeeter. Anybody want a Mckee Craft center console with a bum outboard? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delakid Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 Madman Aluminum boats are all pretty much the same. I have a triton AL and looks the same as G3 or express with the exception of color and a few tiems. The big part for you is the yamaha OB. They make a great engine. take care of it and will provide flawless service. Good luck Kid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
preach4bass Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 Congratulations!!! I'm on #5 right now. I've always heard that the second happiest day of a man's life is when he buys a boat. The happiest day is when he sells it. ;D Enjoy it!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
