My 04 runs low mid 90's w/600's. With the cooler full and stereo blasting. Hard to beat, straight out of the box. And it will do it all day and in any water (something you won't do in a 28 skater). Now compare like for like (larger Skater). Skater is a awsome boat, just doesn't have the cabin comfort.

A perfect world I would have both and a center console too
He means the fountain of course won't hop in the midrange like our 28s

Two entirely different boats. Both are just about as good as it gets in their respective class.

The cabin on our 1993 is still perfect. I love the lines in the water too.
