Today I took delivery of my 1995 Skeeter SS 90 with 90 hp Force motor. It is my first bass boat, and I am pretty excited to get out on the water.

I am not to hot on the outboard, but I got the boat for a great price.

It has new carpet and batteries and older electronics and trolling motor. The trailer has light rust, but is in good shape.

There is about a 6" repair spot on the port side midway down that needs some attention. It looks solid, but was finished poorly.

What are some things I need to look out for? Any advice for a new owner? I love working on and restoring cars, and I am excited to do a little work on her this winter. It seems like a good rig, but with some time and some elbow grease I think it can be great!
