Skeeter Livewells

[PMAinRHI]

I'm looking for a used 18' Skeeter with a "musky livewell". That is a livewell that is the size of two livewells joined together. I've seen them where it actually is two livewells with a divider that can be removed or swung out the way. The approximate dimensions are 8" wide X 48" long. I checked with a Skeeter dealer, and he said that livewell is not offered on any of the new models. That's OK with me, because I can't afford a new boat. Does anyone know which years and models offered this livewell?

PMA how important is the livewell for you?<br /><br />A friend of mine actually converted a regular size coolar to a live well with some aquarium stuff - cost him less then $ 50.oo and works for him.

Pma<br /><br />i had an 1993 skeeter sl/180 fisk/ski<br />it had 2 live wells both small though.<br /><br />i did have a very bad experance with the aft live well.<br />i tied up to the dock after a little evening fishing trip and i forgot to turn the fresh water pump off that goes to the aft well.<br /><br />came back the next mourning to find the boat almost submerged!<br /><br />the overflow tube in the live well does not let the water out as fast as it is pumping it in.<br /><br />the only thing that kept it from sinking was the 4 ropes tieing it to the dock.<br /><br />another thing that i didnt like about my skeeter was the fact that they used plain metal staples for the entire interior not stainless steel.<br />i dont have to tell you what happenes when water is around plain metal. the entire interiour fell apart in no time. <br />here was this beautiful metal flake boat with a crappy interior.<br /><br />for a manufacture that claims to be the builder of the first bass boat you thing they would have thought of that! <br /><br />Russman
