In addition to this manual, your Skeeter boat is supplied with component manufacturer information such as
instructions, warranties or other important information. Read these materials carefully.
Safeguard information about your Skeeter boat by recording the Hull Identification Number (HIN) and the model

Your HIN is located on the top right side of the transom, above the water line. The U.S. Coast Guard requires
