    1969 Super Skeeter: Restoration Beginning Soon

    I found another Super Skeeter and it is getting ready for beautification. This gal is in much better shape than the 1967 Super Skeeter that was restored last year. http://www.bbcboards.net...11619

    The floor is solid and transom too. Looks like this one will only need a little gel work and see will be showroom new again. But she features some neat standard equipment like running light, spot light, storage box, and the Jim Dandy Cable Steer System by Reeves Marine (1st Skeeter and Bass Boat Dealer!)

    I need a pair of seats and looking for a 1969 outboard that runs to finish this project.









    Number 2 1568

    I now have my perfect orginal to make Name Plates From!!!


    I do have offer name plates for Super Skeeter's if need: http://www.dougvahrenberg.com/forsale.html

    This will a great finish to help Skeeter Celebrate it's 60th Anniversary as the Orginator of the Bass Boat

    Some contact me and I look around on the internet. There's alot of them out there - the hardest part is getting someone to let go of them. They are very stable and manueverable. They work great for Duck Boats and that's where alot of them are.

    Doug,

    I believe that front mount goes to a 12v trolling motor.

    My 1967 still has the original TM that is stamped "Motor-Guide Herschede Hall Clock Company Starkville, Mississippi". I don't know the history of the company, the trolling motor still works and the 1967 Super Skeeter that I have.
