    Gas Springs for Hatches

    I got a 1998 Skeeter 202c and need a few gas springs for the hatches. Where can I get these the cheapest that will not be too strong or too weak. Anyone found some good ones.....

    Called my local Skeeter dealer and they sent them right over. I had to replace the rear lid shocks on mine and I actually went up 10 lbs on the shock load rating. CAn't remember the exact price, but wasn't expensive at all.

    I got a replacement from NAPA for $21.00

    You can get them cheaper online...

    I got the same boat. Paid around 20.00 at Napa 1 time. Took another bad one off and went to AUTO ZONE and matched it for around 11.00. They got all kinds and this one is stronger than the one I got from NAPA. Hope this helps.
