Skeeter Boats knows many anglers looking to buy a boat may shy away from the larger boats. For those anglers, the new 15’7″-long ST15 offers a full complement of fishing amenities to appeal to first-time buyers and anglers who are ready to move off the bank to fish new waters.
“We designed the new ST15 to appeal to anglers looking to get onto the water quickly and to retiring hobbyists who want a boat that’s easy to handle and easy to trailer,” said Dean Burnett, National Sales Manager and Marketing Director for Skeeter. “Our value-based pricing on the ST15 will enable those anglers who wonder if they fish enough to justify purchasing a boat to get into a high-quality Skeeter bass boat and out on the water. And with Yamaha power up to 70 horsepower, those first-time buyers can rest assured their investment is money well spent.”
Some of the numerous standard features on the new ST15 include:
Composite transom and stringer system for added durability and
strength.
Cockpit Command Center (with tachometer, speedometer, fuel gauge, trim
gauge, horn and tinted windshield) keeps the driver informed of the boat’s
operation.
Single-cable non-feedback steering for minimum effort in driving.

controlling the foot-operated MotorGuide 743 trolling motor with Little

current is available to the trolling motor.

timer to keep fish alive for weigh-in.
