My Skeeter has seen 31 years of fishing, and the previous owners didn't appreciate her as much as I do.
So just as the phoenix dies and returns from the ashes, this ol girl will be totally restored.

If anyone has some tips or site I can use to rebuild this ol Skeeter, please post em.

I need to figure out how I'm gonna keep the decals without ruining them. Wonder if somewhere can make them for me.
