Can you email pics to ?

Russ199A · April 28, 2008, 09:46:44 PM

You bet, I will take some new pics and send them.

Russ199A · May 08, 2008, 12:23:50 PM

Hey folks, if you are looking for a good used boat at a good price, then this is your boat. Lots of extra's and in great condition, just take a look and lets talk.

Folks, this is a good looking boat. Looks to be very well maintained.

Do you have a shot looking from the back of your truck towards the motor? Have you had to do any repairs on Johnson motor or had any problems? Let me see if I can get my Skeeter sold and I may be very interested.

Russ199A · May 13, 2008, 08:06:34 AM

I'll take one tonight and post it. The only thing that I have had to do to the motor is oil and gas. Once a month I take off the cover and put a screw driver, wrench or whatever on all the fasteners I can reach and ensure they are tight, and just inspect everything I can see. The motor has never given me any problems. It runs about 25 lbs of water pressure when running and about 8-10 at idle. Starts well on cold mornings or hot, it doesn't matter it is very reliable.
Do you have an idea of which trolling motor you would want on it?

Russ199A · May 13, 2008, 08:06:41 PM

Here are some pics from the front. Due to the storms tonight I left it in the garage to take the photos.

Russ178,
you need a fourwheeler? We could trade my 1997 Skeeter with Yamaha90 and my Yamaha Kodiak 400....

Russ199A · May 18, 2008, 09:18:53 PM

My son would sure like that but I want to sell my Gator so I can move into something a little bigger.
My gator did it again thou, got 3rd in our club tourney today.
It's a good boat and at the weigh-in those fish were fiiiisteee.

k² · May 25, 2008, 08:52:55 PM

Let's make a deal. I looked it up on NADA and it doesn't go for quite what you want out. I want the boat with the bigger trolling motor.

Russ199A · May 27, 2008, 02:52:37 PM

Just give me a call on the phone and if you want, you can come look at it too so you can see it in person.

Countryboy, check you PM's. Sent you a message.

Russ199A · June 17, 2008, 11:38:45 AM

$8000 and you got a deal. Put new DCycle battery in it this past weekend, w/18m free replacement. Receipt is still taped to the battery. I'm going to pull it out of the garage and give it a good wipe down and vac the carpet before I go on leave for three weeks.

Russ199A · July 18, 2008, 09:20:54 AM

Ok, folks, I really need to get this sold. Lets get serious. Boat is in good condition and is very quick for it's size. Fishes great.
$7700.00 and it is yours.
First come first serve. You will be getting a steal on this boat.

If you want you can delete my boat ad out of the classifieds area. I'm going to have to find another way to sell it.
