1994 Skeeter SS140 Boat in Sullivan, WI 53178 US

1994 Skeeter SL140 Fish & Ski w/ 115 HP Mercury Outboard & Trailer - LOADED WITH UPGRADES!

115 HP Mercury Outboard • 17'0" Fiberglass Hull • Minn Kota Terrova 55 lb. w/ i-Pilot GPS • Lowrance Elite Fish Finder • Dual Casting Decks • Removable Fishing Seats • Minn Kota Precision Onboard Charger • Jensen Bluetooth Stereo • JVC Speakers • Dual-Console Windshield • Stainless Boarding Ladder • Matching Skeeter Trailer Included

If you're looking for an affordable fishing boat that can do more than just fish, this 1994 Skeeter SL140 Fish & Ski offers an excellent combination of fishing capability, family comfort, and upgraded equipment in one manageable package.

Built by Skeeter, a name recognized throughout the fishing industry, the SL140 combines the features of a traditional fiberglass fishing boat with the seating and versatility of a family runabout.

And this particular Skeeter has some excellent upgrades.

Power comes from a 115 HP Mercury outboard, while the fishing package includes a Minn Kota Terrova trolling motor with i-Pilot GPS technology, Lowrance Elite fish finder, dual casting decks, removable pedestal fishing seats, and a Minn Kota Precision onboard battery charger.

But unlike a traditional bass boat, this Skeeter also features a dual-console cockpit, full walk-through windshield, upholstered bucket seats, rear bench seating, removable bow cushions, Bluetooth stereo, and rear boarding ladder.

That means you can spend the morning fishing your favorite shoreline, take the family cruising in the afternoon, and enjoy a swim before heading home.

One boat. Two completely different ways to enjoy the water.

And with the matching Skeeter trailer included, this is a complete fishing and recreational boating package.

Classic Skeeter Fishing Performance

Skeeter has a long history of building performance-oriented fiberglass fishing boats, and the SL140 carries many of the features that made the brand popular among recreational and serious anglers.

With its sleek fiberglass hull, elevated casting decks, low-profile design, and outboard power, this boat is designed to provide a practical fishing platform while retaining the comfort of a family runabout.

At approximately 17'0" long with an 82-inch beam, the SL140 is a manageable size for Wisconsin's inland lakes.

It's large enough to accommodate dedicated fishing areas at both ends of the boat, yet compact enough to remain practical for trailering, launching, docking, and storage.

115 HP Mercury Outboard

At the stern is a Mercury 115 HP outboard, providing the power needed for traveling between fishing locations, cruising the lake, and enjoying recreational boating.

The outboard configuration also provides convenient access to the engine for routine inspection and maintenance.

Mercury Power Package

✔ Mercury 115 HP Outboard✔ Three-Blade Stainless-Steel Propeller✔ Traditional Outboard Propulsion✔ Convenient Engine Access✔ Great for Fishing & Recreational Cruising✔ Practical Match for the SL140 Hull

With a published maximum horsepower rating of 140 HP, the installed Mercury 115 provides a substantial power package without exceeding the boat's rated limit.

For someone who wants to fish in the morning and cruise with family later in the day, it's a versatile setup.

Minn Kota Terrova - 55 lb. Thrust w/ i-Pilot GPS

One of the biggest upgrades on this Skeeter is its Minn Kota Terrova trolling motor with 55 pounds of thrust and i-Pilot GPS technology.

This is a major improvement over the basic cable-steer trolling motors commonly found on older fishing boats.

Instead of constantly making manual steering adjustments, the GPS-assisted system provides advanced boat-positioning and control functions.

Minn Kota Features

✔ Minn Kota Terrova

✔ 55 lb. Thrust

✔ i-Pilot GPS Technology

✔ Handheld Remote Control

✔ GPS-Assisted Boat Positioning

✔ Bow-Mounted Design

✔ Precise Low-Speed Maneuvering

The system is especially useful when fishing shorelines, weed edges, submerged structure, and other locations where boat positioning matters.

Whether you're casting for bass, working a weed line for northern pike, or fishing along a shoreline, the Terrova gives you much more control over how the boat moves.

i-Pilot GPS - A Valuable Fishing Upgrade

For anglers, the i-Pilot system is one of the most desirable features aboard.

GPS-assisted positioning helps reduce the amount of time spent constantly correcting the boat's position.

That means more time concentrating on fishing.

It's particularly useful when:

✔ Working Weed Lines

✔ Fishing Shoreline Structure

✔ Casting Around Docks

✔ Holding Position Near Fishing Spots

✔ Controlling the Boat in Wind

✔ Making Repeated Passes Along Productive Areas

On a boat from 1994, having a modern GPS trolling motor is a significant equipment upgrade.

Lowrance Elite Fish Finder

Mounted near the forward fishing position is a Lowrance Elite-series fish finder.

Its bow location makes it especially convenient for anglers operating the trolling motor while fishing from the front casting deck.

Lowrance Electronics

✔ Lowrance Elite Fish Finder

✔ Bow-Mounted Display

✔ Sonar Information

✔ Underwater Structure Identification

✔ Convenient Forward Fishing Position

Rather than constantly returning to the driver's console to check electronics, the angler up front has a dedicated display within reach.

It's a practical addition to the boat's fishing setup.

Dual Casting Decks

One of the strongest features of the SL140 is its dual fishing-platform arrangement.

There are elevated casting decks at both the bow and stern, giving anglers separate areas to fish without crowding the cockpit.

Fishing Deck Features

✔ Elevated Bow Casting Deck

✔ Elevated Stern Casting Deck

✔ Carpeted Fishing Surfaces

✔ Removable Pedestal Fishing Seats

✔ Dedicated Fishing Positions

✔ Storage Compartments Nearby

This is particularly useful when two people are fishing together.

One angler can work from the bow while the other fishes from the stern.

Instead of both anglers casting from the same small area, each has a dedicated fishing position.

Removable Pedestal Fishing Seats

Both casting platforms are equipped with removable pedestal fishing seats.

These provide elevated seating positions when you want to fish comfortably for longer periods.

They can also be removed when you prefer standing and casting.

That flexibility is valuable because different fishing techniques call for different setups.

Sit while fishing live bait or working a stationary location.

Stand when casting lures along a shoreline or weed edge.

The SL140 accommodates both.

Minn Kota Precision Onboard Battery Charger

Another excellent upgrade is the Minn Kota Precision onboard battery charger.

This system provides a convenient way to recharge the connected battery banks between trips.

Charging System Highlights

✔ Minn Kota Precision Charger

✔ Onboard Battery Charging

✔ Multi-Battery Arrangement

✔ Dedicated Electrical Compartment

✔ Convenient Charging Between Trips

For a boat equipped with an electric trolling motor, an onboard charger is an especially useful addition.

Rather than removing batteries after every trip, the charging equipment is already installed in the boat.

Dedicated Fishing Storage

Fishing equipment can take up a surprising amount of space.

The boat features carpeted storage compartments throughout the interior, including a large center-floor compartment suitable for longer equipment.

Storage Features

✔ Large Center-Floor Compartment

✔ Storage Around Casting Decks

✔ Room for Fishing Rods

✔ Tackle & Accessory Storage

✔ Space for Recreational Equipment

✔ Organized Battery Compartment

Keeping equipment stored below deck helps maintain an open, functional cockpit.

A True Fish & Ski Layout

This is where the Skeeter SL140 separates itself from a conventional bass boat.

Many dedicated fishing boats are designed almost entirely around fishing, with limited passenger seating and few recreational conveniences.

The SL140 takes a different approach.

You still get the casting decks, pedestal fishing seats, trolling motor, fish finder, and fishing storage.

But you also get a full walk-through windshield, dual consoles, upholstered bucket seats, rear bench seating, removable bow cushions, stereo, and boarding ladder.

That gives you the flexibility to enjoy the boat in completely different ways.

Comfortable Dual-Console Cockpit

The SL140 features a traditional dual-console arrangement with a full walk-through windshield.

This is an excellent feature for anyone who plans to use the boat for more than fishing.

The windshield provides additional wind protection while cruising, while the walk-through center section allows passengers to move between the forward and rear areas.

Cockpit Features

✔ Dual Consoles

✔ Full Walk-Through Windshield

✔ Driver's Bucket Seat

✔ Passenger Bucket Seat

✔ Rear Bench Seating

✔ Upholstered Interior

✔ Carpeted Flooring

✔ Convenient Storage

Compared with an open fishing-boat cockpit, this layout makes the Skeeter considerably more comfortable for recreational cruising.

Comfortable Family Seating

In addition to its fishing seats, this Skeeter provides cushioned cockpit seating for recreational use.

The driver and passenger have individual upholstered bucket seats, while the rear bench provides additional seating.

Removable bow cushions further expand the boat's recreational versatility.

That means the SL140 doesn't have to remain in its dedicated fishing configuration all day.

When it's time to relax, you've got a comfortable runabout-style interior.

Traditional Skeeter Helm

The driver's console retains the classic Skeeter appearance with a straightforward arrangement of controls and instrumentation.

Helm Features

✔ Skeeter Steering Wheel

✔ Analog Instrumentation

✔ Mercury Throttle Controls

✔ Accessory Switch Panel

✔ Upholstered Driver's Seat

✔ Windshield Protection

Everything is arranged around the operator without unnecessary complexity.

For someone who prefers traditional analog gauges and straightforward controls, this is a practical setup.

Jensen Bluetooth Stereo w/ JVC Speakers

Another great upgrade is the Jensen MPR212 Bluetooth stereo system paired with JVC marine speakers.

That's a nice addition to a boat originally built primarily around fishing and recreational cruising.

Audio Equipment

✔ Jensen MPR212 Stereo

✔ Bluetooth Connectivity

✔ USB Input

✔ Auxiliary Input

✔ JVC Marine Speakers

✔ Phone Audio Streaming

Connect your phone, play your favorite music, and enjoy the afternoon.

Whether you're cruising across the lake, anchored at the sandbar, or relaxing between fishing spots, the audio system adds another level of convenience.

Stainless-Steel Rear Boarding Ladder

At the stern is a stainless-steel boarding ladder, making it easier to get back aboard after swimming.

That's another feature that helps distinguish the SL140 from a dedicated fishing boat.

For a family that enjoys spending time in the water, having a proper boarding ladder makes recreational use considerably more convenient.

It's especially useful for:

✔ Swimming

✔ Recreational Watersports

✔ Sandbar Days

✔ Boarding from the Water

✔ Family Lake Outings

A Great Boat for Wisconsin Fishing

With its 115 HP Mercury outboard, Minn Kota Terrova i-Pilot, Lowrance Elite electronics, dual casting decks, and removable fishing seats, this Skeeter is well suited to a variety of inland-lake fishing applications.

Use it for:

✔ Bass Fishing

✔ Walleye Fishing

✔ Northern Pike

✔ Panfish

✔ Casting Shorelines

✔ Working Weed Beds

✔ Fishing Submerged Structure

✔ Exploring Different Lakes

The compact fiberglass hull and included trailer make it practical for anglers who want to explore multiple lakes rather than keeping their boat in one location.

Matching Skeeter Trailer Included

This boat comes with its matching Skeeter single-axle bunk trailer.

The trailer features coordinated Skeeter graphics and equipment that complements the boat's classic black-and-white appearance.

Trailer Highlights

✔ Matching Skeeter Trailer

✔ Single-Axle Configuration

✔ Carpeted Bunks

✔ Diamond-Plate Fender Steps

✔ Bow Winch

✔ Mounted Spare Tire

✔ Coordinated Skeeter Graphics

✔ Included with the Boat

Having the trailer included makes this a complete boat, motor, and trailer package.

You don't need to source a trailer separately.

Easy to Trailer, Launch & Store

At approximately 17'0" long with an 82-inch beam, this Skeeter is a practical size for someone who wants to keep their boat at home and travel between different lakes.

You can use it for an early-morning fishing trip on one lake and take it somewhere completely different the following weekend.

The compact size also makes it an appealing alternative to larger fishing boats that require more storage space and a heavier-duty towing setup.

One Boat for Fishing AND Family Fun

The biggest advantage of the Skeeter SL140 Fish & Ski is that it doesn't force you to choose between fishing and recreational boating.

Want to fish?

You've got the Minn Kota Terrova i-Pilot, Lowrance fish finder, dual casting decks, and pedestal fishing seats.

Want to cruise?

You've got the 115 HP Mercury, dual-console windshield, and comfortable cockpit seating.

Want to relax?

You've got the Bluetooth stereo, JVC speakers, and recreational seating.

Want to swim?

You've got the rear boarding ladder.

Want to explore a different lake?

You've got the matching Skeeter trailer.

That's exactly what a Fish & Ski boat is supposed to offer.

Why This Skeeter Stands Out

This isn't simply an older fiberglass fishing boat with a trolling motor.

It's a versatile package with some valuable upgrades already installed.

That's an excellent combination of fishing equipment and family-boating versatility.

Shopping for an Affordable Fishing Boat?

If you've been comparing a used Skeeter, Ranger, Nitro, Stratos, Champion, Bass Cat, Triton, Tracker, Lund, Alumacraft, Crestliner, or other fiberglass fishing boat, this Skeeter SL140 deserves a look.

One of its biggest advantages is that it offers fishing equipment you might otherwise need to purchase and install separately.

A GPS-equipped Minn Kota Terrova, Lowrance electronics, onboard battery charger, and matching trailer all add practical value to the package.

And unlike a dedicated bass boat, you also get a more comfortable recreational layout with a full windshield, additional seating, and Bluetooth audio.
