Holmes Thurmond built the first Skeeter in 1948. Since then, we've been setting the standard, raising the bar, and leaving the rest of the boating industry in the wake of our innovation.

1940s
In 1948, the first Skeeter Bass Boat was built by Holmes Thurman in Shreveport, LA. It was just over 13-feet long, made of molded marine plywood with a flat bottom and tumblehome side decks. The boats were named Skeeter because their long, needle-shaped nose resembled a mosquito.

1950s
Skeeter became one of the first innovators to use fiberglass in boat construction. Fiberglass made it possible for more sizes and styles to be produced in much larger numbers. Throughout the South, many of these early models are still in use today by avid Skeeter fishermen.

1960s
In 1961, Ben Cook moved the Skeeter plant from Marshall to a bigger operation in Longview, Texas. Skeeter Marine began. During this period, the first fiberglass boats were built, and stick steering was developed to control the longer 15-foot Super Skeeter and Skeeter Magnum Boats. The need for bigger boats, larger horsepower, and more control at high speeds were met with the introduction of a series of tri-hulls in the mid-’60s.

1970s
Skeeter expanded operations to the company’s current plant site in Kilgore, Texas. In 1975, we introduced a 150-horsepower, V-bottom bass boat called the Wrangler, a popular model on the fledgling bass circuits.

1980s
In 1983, the Coleman Company, famous for its camping equipment, purchased Skeeter, and the Fish ‘n’ Ski series was launched. Skeeter also introduced the first SX model. Despite an economic recession growing at the end of the decade, Skeeter’s future remained bright with recognized hull designs that continued to lead the industry.

1990s
Skeeter introduced the ZX series of bass boats, incorporating advanced-hull designs and modern styling. Tournament bass fishing was booming in the early ’90s throughout the South, while walleye tournaments were being introduced for the first time in the North. Walleye-tournament anglers needed a new kind of boat to take on the huge bodies of water in the northern United States. Skeeter responded by developing a line of deep-V boats. In 1994, Skeeter’s most popular Walleye model took the triple crown of Angler of the Year in all three major walleye professional tour circuits.

Skeeter also launched the company’s first saltwater-specific boats, the high-performance, center-console Bay pro series. The introduction of Skeeter’s biggest bass boats yet, the 20-foot 200ZX, soon followed.

In 1995, the demand for boats to run faster and more efficiently through the water with more tackle, gear, fuel and batteries than ever before was met with the addition of a 21-foot 300ZX to accommodate high-output 200- and 225-horsepower motors. Completing the product line, Skeeter introduced a 19-foot version, the 190ZX, and a popular 18 footer, the 150ZX.

Using aerospace technology and modern computer software, Skeeter introduced the ZX202 in the mid-‘90s, one of the first composite boats available in the United States.

An all-new SX product line was also introduced in the late 1990s, which brought the basic ZX design into entry-level and mid-range priced boats. Customers had more than 35 new models to choose from throughout the mid ’90s, fitting the needs of all levels of anglers.

In 1996 Yamaha Outboards acquired Skeeter. Teaming up with the most technologically advanced outboard engine company in the world brought new resources and advancements to Skeeter’s product line.

In 1998, Skeeter celebrated 50 years as a bass boat company.

2000s
Skeeter brought out new hull designs and graphics for the all-new ZX202 and ZX185, and a new ZX Big Water/Deep-V line was introduced for the saltwater market.

In 2001, a new Torque Transfer Transom and Stringer System was introduced on the ZX bass boat models, setting a new industry standard for modern boat construction. This unique system transfers the vertical torque and energy from the engine to the stringer system in the bottom of the boat, virtually eliminating stress on the transom, deck and hull sides, while providing lift along the entire keel of the boat.
In 2006 Skeeter launched the i-Class series with cutting-edge modular consoles, improved comfort and fishability, and the new Digital Multifunctional System, which permits control of all onboard systems with the use of touch keypads.

2017
Skeeter expanded their facility in Kilgore, TX by building a 43,000 square foot trailer factory. This enabled Skeeter to build their own high-quality, innovative Skeeter-Built® trailers in house.

2020
Skeeter developed the new standard in performance bass boats with the introduction of the FXR series. An all-new hull meticulously CAD-designed and extensively R&D and performance tested. Skeeter also increased the deadrise and modified the pad for a smoother ride. Casting decks are larger and cockpit area wider, thanks to increased length and wider beam. Skeeter manufactured the boat with lighter materials and redesigned structural components throughout. To top it off Skeeter added aggressive hull style lines with 3-D accents for a unique design that is sure to stand out from the competition.

Skeeter also introduced the all-new fishing and family focused SX2550 bay boat. The largest bay boat Skeeter has ever produced featuring an oversized console with built in head, a Carolina flared hull, and family and fishing features throughout.

Skeeter continues to lead the way in engineering and design. In 2018 and 2019 Skeeter received back to back innovation awards for their WX2060 and WX2200 deep-v walleye boats. Skeeter also accepted their 19th consecutive CSI award for 'Excellence in Customer Satisfaction for Fiberglass Outboard Boats.'

Skeeter was the name on the first:

Our boats are fast and nimble while resisting listing, skipping or slipping as they bite into every turn. Our deep-V hulls are built to give you maximum control in even the harshest conditions. And our new REACT™ keel feature (on Skeeter’s WX2190, WX2060, WX1910, MX2040 and MX1825 models) takes your precision trolling and drifting even further by virtually locking the hull to the water and keeping you right where you want to be.

Skeeter’s goal, to build boats that are engineered like no other, permeates everything we do—from our design and manufacturing methods to the courtesy we extend each time you walk into a dealership. From no-corners-cut construction all the way to the winner’s circle, Skeeter’s pursuit of perfection is evident in the best-engineered bass boats on the water today.
