No the skeeter never did sink but onlu thing was out of the water was about 6 inches of the yamaha and half of my graph on a ram mount but before the last wave that we had hit i turned the boat towards a point and thank the lord the waves pushed us up on the point and we swam about 100 yards to land and by the way the game and fish said it was about 5 to 6 footers but im just thankfull the good lord had his hands on us my boat can be replaced but a life can not and on top of that we had to walk about 2 miles for help and that about sums it up guys


Thankful you guys are okay. You are right a boat can be replaced. Any water temp less than 98 cools you off in a hurry.

Fun N Sun would be my recommendation if looking for a Skeeter. I know they have been # 1 Skeeter dealer in the country several of the last few years. That doesn't happen by accident.

If you are interested in saving money go online and look out of state at other Skeeter dealers. You will be amazed how much prices will vary. I ordered a new boat with all the extras plus upgrades and saved $8,000.00 compared to local dealers.

Dealers are begging for business this time of year so keep shopping and do your homework and it will pay off big.
