My College fraternity brother and roomate's dad had a Super Skeeter. He used to fish the Reservoir when it first filled up. Taught Don Norton and Hal Battle a lot of the lunker holes back then. We always had fun times when we fished together out of that boat.

We flipped and sank one just like that in Bayou Pierre when the river was out back in 93 or 94

I'm sure that boat is priceless to you, but I'll give you my first born child for it

I had this same boat. I gutted it completely though and it was awesome. I got in a tight financially and sold it to another member of DuckSouth. I called him the other night to find out how the boat was working out for him and he told me that someone stole it.....That's a sorry person that would steal from another hunter!

Please keep an eye out for it you see it going down the road. It is all black with no seats.....(The whole boat is covered with LineX)

It's the only one of it's kind. If you should see it stop the guy and ask him how he got it.

I hate it for the guy I sold it to!

I got a question for your skeeter rehabers.
The bottom of them is balsa right? If it gets rotten, where the hail do you get that much balsa wood to replace/repair?

Fun rigs for sure. Hunted outta one for about 5 years. You could hide that thing anywhere, but it had a 50hp short shaft on the back. That thing was scary fast!

Didnt the ole hand that bought it blow the motor up right after he bought it? Scary fast wasnt the word...it would fly...in pitch black dark...seen you do it

I believe the earlier year models had wood in the floor. This dude is straight glass......
