If your wanting to replace it with what is there I would suggest contacting Skeeter. Could also contact a sign company and see if they can make you one. Looks like some kind of plastic and many of the larger pint shops can make it.

maybe a diffuser for a florescent light from your locale home store

better yet colored lexan or plexi in a color that complements your boat.... as long as that color is amber or white LOL

if you don't "have to have" the skeeter name then go to hardware store and by some plexi-glass/Acrylic sheeting in the size you need. buy the type with the prism texture like the fluorescent shop lights have and put the rough side inwards so the outside is smooth and easy to keep clean

The skeeter name is actually a cutout of the trailer

ok, well you just need a smooth piece of plexi and lightly sand the inside and spray paint it white

very possibly.... maybe not..... if those lights were dim and you also had a bright amber normal light nearby MIGHT be less likely

green is definitely not legal but then kids with ricey cars sometimes get away with it


Don't paint it..... will look like crap when lit
