Thanks for looking and if you are reading this you are curious and wondering if this boat will be the right boat for you and your family or your fishing buddy.  This is a SKEETER bass boat that is a great boat and a well known name boat used by professional and novice anglers alike for bass and crappie fishing but could also be used for other fishing or activities if so desired.  I purchased this boat last year after my at the time girlfriend and I were going fishing on a weekly basis and truly enjoyed the time on the water together but were using a canoe or aluminum boat; we wanted something much steadier in the water and found this boat locally for sale by a gentlemen that was moving away for a job and needed to sell the boat because he didn't have the room to store it in his new living arrangements.  I bought the boat and wanted to work on it over the winter but between surgeries, extreme cold conditions, the holidays, and other life changing events I did not have the time and no longer have the desire to work on this boat and would like to rid myself of the memories that go along with finishing it and purchasing this for what I had hoped would be wonderful times and memories for us on the water.  OK, so that is how I came to buy the boat and why I am selling.The paragraph below covers the gasoline motor.  It was not and still is not running but where I live and like to camp there are three lakes within a half hour drive of my home that are electric motors only.  I bought the boat with partial intentions of selling the gasoline motor and then making an electric boat only for use on these lakes and using my other boat for fishing on the bigger, gasoline motor lakes.  I have not done much except as noted below to the motor so it is still on the boat and I haven't performed any work.The gasoline 2 stroke motor that comes on this boat is the Johnson GT150 V6 motor; when I bought it I was told that it needed a head gasket.  I went and talked about boat motors, head gaskets, and how to work on marine engines with a local boat engine shop for a few hours to get some direction on how to check for that condition and what to do.  I checked the pressure in each of the cylinders and had one cylinder considerably lower than the others, the top cylinder on the drivers side was low, I pulled the head and could see where the head gasket had failed and that was the issue.  There was a small amount of rust on the cylinder wall as well but from what I was told by the boat mechanic a simple engine bore hone would easily remove that and a new head gasket would probably take care of any issues.  I looked at the parts on-line, I think a set of head gaskets was $40-$50 and a complete engine gasket kit was around $100-$110.  I did not go through with trying to fix it myself as things have changed in my life since then and I don't want to invest the time.  I do know that when I tested for compression I placed the motor in neutral and the engine spun freely and the starter gear engaged quickly.  Also, I put in gear and tried to turn the prop by hand and it was tight in both forward and reverse and spun freely in neutral; I don't know if that means anything but to me it meant that everything was engaging and disengaging properly.  When I checked with the mechanic, he said a head gasket would be about a $300 repair for him to do, worse case a complete rebuild with new pistons, rings, machining ,etc. would be around $5k but that was worse case.  I do not know if the automatic oil mixing part of the system works as the previous owner told me he just pre-mixed as a precaution because it wasn't worth the risk to him.  I looked under the deck and everything appears as it is still there for the oil system but again, I have no first-hand knowledge and do not know if it works.  That pretty much covers the motor, the electric trim up/down works fine as I used it to tilt the motor so that I could work on it easier when checking cylinder pressures.  The electric motor as mentioned above is a 12/24V DC motor meaning it can run on either 12 or 24 volts; I heard that when on 24V they perform much better and do not deplete the batteries as quick as when using the 12V.  I was told the motor works and it appears as it should but I cannot put it into the operating position when it is on the trailer so I do not know its working condition but again, I was told that it works.  As I stated above, I was thinking of making this an electric only boat so I was thinking of getting one of those fancy new 36V motors that I was told can run a boat this size all day without issue; if it doesn't sell and my heart heals a bit I may still go this route.The trailer has a few issues.  The jack stand fell out of the socket when I last moved the boat, it is on a side screw and should just be a matter of reinserting it into the hole and cranking it into place.  The crank handle is also bent and should be straightened out to move in your hand better.  There is one lug nut stud broken off of the one wheels.  There is no spare tire.  The trailer tongue has the surge brake device in it and can be finicky to put onto and off of the required 2" trailer ball.  I think some lube and just cycling it a few times should help with that.The boat itself is in overall decent shape for a boat of almost 30 years old.  The floor is soft in the middle but was little concern to me as the front and rear fishing deck are solid and where I planned on being most of the time.  The seat isn't ripped.  The hatches all open and close as they should but the ones with locks do not have the keys to them.  It does have a fish finder but I will have to find that in my garage, it isn't anything special, just a small one about the size of a pack of cigarettes.  Overall, I have seen boats in this condition sell for between $3500 and $5000 last year so when I found this one I was happy to invest the money I did on it.  I have the reserve for this auction set at $1500 which I feel will be reached and will get this boat out of my yard, allow me to recoup my money, and move on.  My plan was to re-carpet, re-upholster the seat, re-wire the trailer with LED lights, place LED lights inside the boat, and pull out all the electrics and just make this into a truly custom all electric boat but intentions didn't get me anywhere.  All electronic wiring looks intact but I did not test it, there is a factory wiring diagram under the one rear deck lid.  I think this boat should make someone a good project to possibly make an all electric boat or put a few bucks into the motor and use it that way.  Thanks for looking, allowing me to vent a bit, and hopefully get your gears turning in your head as to what you can make this boat into.  I will help you pick-up the boat but will not deliver.  I ask for a $500 payment via PayPal at close of auction and either full payment by PayPal or cash in person when you pick up.  Feel free to arrange to see if you have any concerns before you bid as winning bidder buys the boat as it is a contractual commitment.  I have Pennsylvania titles for both trailer and boat in hand and there is a PA boat notary 5 miles away if you live in PA and need to transfer or I will provide you the titles and a signed bill of sale for anyone outside the state of PA.  Thanks again for looking, happy bidding, and good luck....bid high....bid to win.
