The safe use and operation of this boat is dependent upon the use of proper operating techniques,
as well as upon the common sense, good judgment, and expertise of the operator. Every operator
should know the following requirements before operating the boat.
• Before operating the boat, read this Skeeter Owner’s/Operator’s Manual, the Owner’s/Operator’s
Manual for the outboard motor, the literature for all other equipment supplied with your boat or
trailer, and all warning and caution labels on the boat, motor, and trailer. These materials should
give you an understanding of the boat and its operation.
• Never allow anyone to operate this boat until they too have read the Owner’s/Operator’s Manual
and all warning and caution labels.
• Skeeter recommends a minimum operator age of 16 years old.
• Adults must supervise use by minors.
• Know the operator age and training requirements for your state. A boating safety course is
recommended and may be required in your state. You can find local rules by contacting the United
States Coast Guard (USCG), the National Association of State Boating Law Administrators, or your
local Power Squadron.
• This Skeeter boat has maximum capacities for number of passengers and weight on board. Never
exceed these maximum load limits. Weight distribution affects performance. Keep weight in the
boat low and evenly distributed from side-to-side and front-to-back. Remove any unnecessary
cargo and store it on shore.

Failure to follow WARNING instructions could
result in severe injury or death to the boat operator
