1996 skeeter Bass Boat

This classic Skeeter bass rig delivers that solid, “old-school” glass feel on the water, with the sharp entry and broad rear deck that anglers still swear by. The hull’s low profile keeps you close to the action, making precise flips and pitches feel natural, even when you’re working tight shorelines or brushy coves. Storage is laid out with tournament days in mind, with room to organize multiple rod setups and tackle trays so you’re not digging around between casts. At the helm, the compact console gives clear visibility over the bow, and the boat’s responsive handling lets you knife through boat wakes or swing into a narrow cut without drama. It’s a simple, proven platform that keeps the focus where it belongs: on the bite.

On the waters around here, you need a bass boat that can handle shallow, stump-studded backwaters one moment and choppy open stretches the next. This Skeeter’s hull design shines in that mixed environment, lifting quickly onto plane and staying predictable when you quarter across wind-blown chop. Its moderate draft lets you slide over skinny flats and ease into tucked-away pockets where bigger, deeper rigs hesitate to go. The compact footprint makes it easy to launch at smaller ramps and maneuver along crowded docks, while still offering enough deck space to fish comfortably with a partner all day. For anglers chasing bass in a wide variety of local conditions, this model hits a smart balance of agility, stability, and fishability.
