Skeeter Over five decades have passed since
we built the first Skeeter, which just so happened to be the world’s
first bass boat. Since then, we’ve been setting the standard,
raising the bar and leaving the rest of the boating industry in
a wake of innovation.
It was way back in 1948 that Holmes Thurmond designed
and launched the first Skeeter boat. By no means was it the last
“first” for Skeeter. In 1961, we built the first bass
boat from fiberglass, a huge leap forward in performance and durability.
Then in 1975, Skeeter introduced the
”Wrangler,” the first V-bottom bass
boat ever built. As time passed, Skeeter introduced a host of other
innovations: the first full-length rod box, the first bass boat
rated for a 150 HP, and the first to introduce “space age”
composite materials with the X-Treme and X-Cel composite construction.
From then on, cutting-edge technology and attention to detail have
been the key ingredients of securing value for long-term owner satisfaction.
Skeeter is a company that listens! We listen to
the highest level of tournament fishermen! We listen to our dealers!
More importantly, we listen to you, the customer, and take what
we learn, putting it into every boat we deliver to you. The water
remains our training and proving ground.
It’s evident that Skeeter’s philosophy,
“engineered like no other,” permeates everything we
do – from the way we build our boats, to the courtesy we extend
each time you walk into a dealership. Beginning with the extensive
efforts taken in the methods of manufacturing, all the way to the
winner’s circle, Skeeter’s pursuit of perfection has
become clearly evident as the best engineered bass boats on the
water today.
