Skeeter offers the origial retail purchaser a Structural Warraty that covers ay major structural defects i the material or workmaship, for the duratio of the owership. Ulike most compaies, the Structural Warraty may also be trasferred to the secod ower for a full 10 years from the first retail purchase date. Skeeter also offers a Compoet Warraty to the first retail purchaser, where certai factory-istalled parts are covered for up to three years from the date of purchase. The Compoet Warraty may ot be trasferred to a secod ower ad is subject to limitatios outlied i the 2010 Skeeter Fiberglass Limited Warraty. Skeeter Products, ic.

6 CONTROL Sharp boats. Smooth turs. Whe it comes to cotrol, Skeeter has o rival. Our boats are fast but also icredibly imble, while resistig listig, skippig or slippig as they bite ito a tur. We build maximum performace ito every Skeeter by adherig to NMMA, Coast Guard ad America Boat & Yacht Coucil stadards. Whether you re hutig dow fish or just havig fu, whe you re i a Skeeter, you re i cotrol. ENGINEERED LIKE Skeeter performace starts with Skeeter egieerig. We ve assembled a world-class team of desigers who love fishig as much as physics ad who live to figure out ways to make Skeeter boats faster, smoother ad better tha ay other boat o the market. Our traditio of egieerig excellece bega with the world s first bass boat. We ve sice added iovatios like the V-hull ad the Skeeter Sposo. Skeeter boats are ENGINEERED LIKE NO OTHER. Here are seve really good reasos why: The NMMA 90 MANEUVERABILITY TEST The test is coducted by acceleratig the boat to its maximum speed, ad the sharply turig the steerig wheel 180 degrees with o chage i settigs. The boat passes the test by completig a 90º chage i directio without the driver losig cofidece i his ability to maitai cotrol. RIGHT ANGLE TURN 90 (+) PASS: DRIVER MAINTAINS CONTROL AFTER 90º TURN (-) FAIL: DRIVER LOSES CONTROL AFTER 90º TURN This critical test is just oe example of how we ot oly adhere to, but exceed our idustry s techical practices. emergecy tur DEMONSTRATED BY A Professioal driver AT a safe AND maeuverable speed. 4 All Skeeter boats have bee certified by the Natioal Marie Maufacturers Associatio, ad meet all Uited States Coast Guard ad America Boat & Yacht Coucil requiremets.

7 NO OTHER No Backwash Extremely Stable RELIABILITY. The perfect power for your boat. Stop! Do t worry about swampig the back of the boat. With Skeeter s revolutioary hull desig, you ca ow stop your ru at full speed ad forget about the followig wake washig up over your deck ad your ethusiasm. Eve whe your parter is jumpig aroud i the back, it wo t affect you o the bow. Extreme stability ad optimum flotatio reduce rockig ad rollig. We eve drilled holes i oe of our hulls to prove it. Four me fished comfortably, ad the took the same boat to plae. With a Yamaha outboard behid you, there s othig but good times ahead of you. Yamaha is as obsessed with reliability as you are with the water. Every last detail is egieered to give you advaced outboard techology you ca cout o. Every weeked. Every year. Smooth & Dry Ride Quick Hole Shot The aggressive 20-degree deep-v of the pateted hull desig works i cojuctio with the primary ad secodary reverse chies to keep the water off of you ad i the lake. Smooth ad dry is how every ride is remembered i a Skeeter. Whe you brig the hammer dow, a quick view of the bow is all you get. Gettig o plae takes a mere three to four secods as the hull levels ito a highly aggressive attitude. Without a secod to lose, we put you i a better positio to wi. AVOIDS Chie Walkig SUPERB TURNING The Yamaha VMAX SHO TM Itroducig the future of bass boat power. At the extreme level of top-ed performace is where Skeeter leaves the competitio behid. Deliverig you resposive hadlig i situatios whe most boats lose their edge, the uique egieerig of the Skeeter hull desig keeps you o top ad i cotrol. Take a tur for the better with less chace of hull liftig, slippig or skiddig. Skeeter s hull gives you the ability to maitai a tur i complete cotrol either trimmed up at full throttle or at more moderate speeds. Accurately maeuver through tight situatios with cofidece. It s the first of its kid a V-6 big-bore four stroke outboard for bass boats. Ad it s outperformig competitio two strokes with: Up to 13% quicker hole shot Class-leadig, 4.2 liter, big-bore displacemet ad power-to-weight ratio A desig that s 34 pouds lighter tha previous two stroke VMAX desigs That s just for starters. It also delivers clea-burig power ad a level of fuel efficiecy pro aglers ever thought they d see o the touramet circuit. 5

8 PERFORMANCE HULL DESIGN DESIGN Maufacturig boats that fly. May of our curret boat-buildig techiques come directly from the early ivestmets Skeeter made i aerospace egieerig ad techology. Our desig team made us the first boat maufacturer to use space-age materials with X-Treme ad EX-Cel composite costructio. Ad aerospace priciples have cotiued to ifluece our cocepts, materials ad maufacturig processes to this day. Maybe that s why our boats seem to fly across the water. A S t r a k e s : Agled cuts alog the chies provide lift ad act as a rail, deflectig water as it smoothes the ride. B Primary Reverse Chies: These cocave sectios are built to exactig specificatios to deliver cotrol ad comfort, eve i the roughest coditios. C Secodary Reverse Chies: Addig aother layer, the secodary reverse chies deflect ay additioal water passig over the ruig surface. D ruig Surface: The aggressive area of the hull combies the ceter pad ad the ier strakes to give Skeeter the smoothest, driest ride i the idustry. E ceter Pad: The heart of the ruig surface where width, agle ad height are precisely egieered to deliver the best combiatio of speed, hadlig ad load-carryig capability. A B C Costat Curvature Priciple A distiguishig desig feature of the Skeeter hull is the costat curvature of the boat from bow to ster. With the widest poit just forward of the cosole, you get a larger frot castig deck ad oversized storage. With the deck guwale desiged to itersect the hull at a agle, icreased stregth ad rigidity prevet damage caused by dock or timber impact. E Revolutioary trasom ad striger It s called the Alumium Torque Trasfer Trasom ad Striger System. Ad F turig Chies: These importat performace features limit the amout of heel the boat will experiece durig mid- to high-speed turs to keep you i cotrol. D it gives Skeeter boats the strogest backboe i the busiess. O our FX, i-class, ad ZX boats, we adhere high-test aircraft structural alumium to our EX-Cel composite trasom. The result? Uparalleled stregth that completely relieves stress o the trasom, deck ad sides. To prove it, we re suspedig this boat by its egie bolts, with o loss i hull itegrity. G water Flow Foil (Setback): Allows water flowig uder the boat to quickly rise ad cover the prop while a miimal amout of hull remais i the water, reducig drag. H Sposos: Water flowig up from the setback pushes the sposos up ad gets the boat quickly o plae. At rest, they act as potoos that allow you to walk from side to side without rockig the boat. 6 G H F

9 20 boats, oe passio: ENGINEERING I I alumium Deck Grid System: Alumium structure provides superior support ad stregth, with lids that close tightly ad lock securely. J Composite Oe-Piece Floor: The floor of the Skeeter FX, i-class, ad ZX is oe solid piece. It is composed of a PVC crossliked foam, sadwiched betwee layers of fiberglass. K Alumium Torque Trasfer Trasom & Striger System: This revolutioary system bods high-test aircraft structural alumium to the EX-Cel trasom ad striger to elimiate hull stress. J K L ex-cel Composites, for the Idustry s Strogest Hull: The trasom, strigers ad floor utilize aerospace derivatives kow as EX-Cel composites, which provide outstadig stregth ad durability. L M M A Fiish That Lasts: Our polyflake fiishes use a exclusive dry flake system. Sprayig the flake behid the clearcoat gives a lustrous, durable fiish that resists migratio through the clear gel top coat. Additioally, our extra-tough Armorcoat gel coats are cosidered the best i the idustry agaist weatherig ad blisterig. 7
