    1984 Skeeter SS-1 Sport Fisherman

    Going to try and start working on this old boat... not too big (15') but it's enough for me and my gear



    She runs good and actually fairly dry for a tri-hull... The chrysler 85hp is a screamer, considering it's age, and what its on. I've had this boat up to around 55-57 gps and that's quick enough for me in a 15' bassboat



    Any suggestions are welcome as well as any advice anyone may have

    Not a bad looking boat already. I heard them ol MOPARs run pretty good.

    I bought one just like this a month ago, for restoration purposes. Hope to see a bunch of pictures from you. Hope you don't mind any questions. She looks great already.

    She's pretty solid, and after i rebuilt the carbs umpteen times before i thought to change the gas lines and tank , she runs like a new one. My F-I-L outran a 15' 2000 Nitro with a 90 hp on it, so it must do decent.

    That's a pretty nice looking old boat. I've got a 15" in the driveway I'm working on. Best suggestion is anything you can turn into storage, do so.
