Here's my baby!!!

my 1964 restore

This is my 1970 with a 20hp mercury.

My Skeeter. I love her! She is lean, mean and clean and rides like a dream!  ;D

By the way, the trolling motor in the pics has since been replaced with a Motorguide brute 70lb. thrust model with gator mount!

Specs on the boat:

18 1/2 ft. 150hp Suzuki Oil and Fuel injected motor, dual live wells, in dash fishfinder with other goodies, up front Eagle fishfinder and lowrance flasher, 2 rod lockers, power tilt and trim, hydraulic steering, baitwell, huge ice chest and tons of storage!

LBH, I LOVE the job you did on this sucker! I saw the before and afters and all I can say is WoW!!

Helluva job!! *thumbs up*

Hey Cujo13. Could you scale your pic down a bit? HAve to scroll WAY over to see the whole post.

LBH, thats sweet!!

I'm looking for an older aluminum boat to fix up for fishing a couple of electric only lakes around here.

Don't know if i could do as good a job as you have on that one though!!!  

sorry bowjunkie i havent figured that out yet  :-/

Cujo13, here is what you do. Go to www.tinypic.com. Upload the pic from your drive and hit the host picture button. In a few seconds, you will have a scaled down version. It is not super small, but it will fit the screen.

Copy the new link of your picture and modify your post. Insert the new pics link in place of your old one and viola!

Glenn,

I don't think I have ever seen that color before!!

That is absolutely gorgeous!!

Glenn, are those bassresource colors custom or did you design the site to match the boat?

LBH I didn't even notice that, but they do match!!

The boat matches the site.  

Here's mine-fishes pretty good!

17 FT Ranger R72, 115 Johnson Fast Strike, 62 MPH on GPS.

Glenn- let me re-word.  You had the boat done to match the site or had the boat and used its colors for the site?

I had the boat done to match the site.  It had to be done.

Here ya go

Oh wow, that came out way too huge.

Here's my beast ;D.  I bought this when I was 15 (now 22).  It is great to fish ponds and smaller bodies of water, but my dad and I wanted to start fishing larger waters.  So two years ago my dad bought a '96 Skeeter from a family friend that honestly looked like it just rolled of the show room floor.  It was incredible.  Then last fall my dad was fishing by himself and punched a hole through the fiberglass.  A guy at the fiberglass repair shop offered my dad more than he paid for it with the hole still in it so he took his offer.  My dad was using it about once a month, but I was using it any chance I could get.  I was away at school when he sold it and he didn't even tell me until the next spring that he had sold it.  Now I am back to old faithful  :-/.  I guess it beats fishing from the shore.  I just don't like being limited to the bodies of water I can fish and I can't go if the wind is over 10 mph.

Now that's dedication!

The boat looks sweet, Glenn...lots of bling-bling.

Hey I had a 2 man at one time like that also. They are great for getting places some big rigs like mine can't. And you are right about being WAY better than fishing from shore.

About the wind. I was on a lake in mine once and the wind came up and blew about 25 mph.  with higher gusts. That was scary!! Finally ended up running the boat ashore (the wind) My little 27 lb. thrust trolling motor was not enough to fight it.
