Anyone have info on a "Skeetow" boat company from Burbank back in the day??

This boat might be looking for a new home. Owners are trying to determine a value (I believe).

The bad part is wood boats are only attractive to a very limited audience. I bought one and spent a year refurbishing it. It can only be described as a labor of love. Lots of people like to look at a refurbished wood boat, but they don't want any part of the upkeep. I lost my ass when I finally sold it. However, it was still a very sad day when I saw it leaving behind another vehicle.

Next to nothing. Out here anyway. If it was Midwest it might have a little value. Scott outboard. If it was finished maybe 2 grand tops. I'm in some vintage boat groups on Facebook. Check them out throw it out there.

It's worth the value of the motor and trailer. There is very little demand and they take a but load 9f work

I'll ask my buddy about it, he is a classic boat guy.
He's looks very similar.


PS; the way it stands, assuming the Scotty motor works, it may fetch between $1200-1500 . There are a lot of desirable vintage boats out there for cheap for someone with skills to finish.
