Looks great!!! My boat is the same color red with black stripe. I added rod buckles also and just put a Talon on the back.
I put one in my 1996 SS140 17.6 ft boat. I didnt run into anything. I dont know if the boats are the same but they cant be far off.
I made my own out of 1/8" alluminum and mounted it to the bottom of the jackplate. Looks factory! and didnt cost anything but alittle time. I have a pic but cant for the life of me figure out how...
Put one in my 96 SS140. I paid $75 for it from Stratos boats at the time. It is all alluminum and powercoated. The thing is awesome and wont have another boat without it.

I have a 1984 15hp rude. Just replaced the water pump and noticed water in the lower unit when I was changing the oil. How many seals are there to replace? I know of the prop shaft seal and the...
What prop are you running? I can get 60-63 mph gps out of my 1996 135hp. I run a 25pitch 4 blade trophy that has been turned down to around a 24. This is on a SS140LX Skeeter 17.6 ft 82 beam. ...

I have ran Citgo TCW3, Lubrimatic, Quicksilver and all seemed to do just fine in my 1996 Mariner 135hp. I have never had a problem with it. Every year I run Powertune spray through the motor for...
Customer service!! I own a 1996 Skeeter SS140 and busted a hole in it on Lake Fork. Yes, all GLASS boats can and will have stump damage at some time. Anyway, I take very good care of my boat and...
