Muskie Boat??

Well the old Alumacraft found a new home and I just sealed a deal on a 91 18' Skeeter deep V powered by a 115 Merc. Anyone else fished out of or owned one if so what are your thoughts. Price is verry right but it's 700 miles away. I'll be picking it up Friday evening.

Sounds nicer then the old one although both are better then mine.

I haven't owned that particular motor but I've heard very good reports on it. Congrats.

Congrat's on the new boat ... I'm sure you'll be very happy with it. Looking forward to pic's when you get her home.

91 sounds a little old to be buying from 700 miles away, but hey if price point is great... go for it. I have gone down to Iowa and picked up a Nitro for cheap before. Id make sure you check out the cylinders,compression etc. I have been in a Skeeter from that era and it was actually quite nice, alot has changed, but alot has also stayed in line with the older boats.

I know it's along ways to go but it looks nice and priced less than I sold my 84 Alumacaft for, It still NADA books for over the asking price. Not sure what a above average 91 1850 Skeeter sells for around the upper midwest, willing to bet in the $4-$6K range???

If you got a good feeling about it, go for it. If the price is good enough, why not. Those boats were made solid. I have a 1989 150hp merc on a boat I no longer use and it has always worked, and that year was suppose to be garbage compared to the 90 and newer.
