My Skaters 15 years old and if it could tell stories it would be real interesting. Lot of 4s, 5s, 6, 7, 8, 9,10s and 12, most recently on the way to Freeport!! Poor thing get bashed hard every time I take it out!! JT used to bash it as a race boat Zero Defect then Bob Morgan and I Bashed it as a race boat Big Thunder and now its a poker run boat Freedom US1!! Hard to believe it still floats!! Maybe all of us Poker run boat guys can get together in Key West for a four lap race at the worlds like the Bimini race. Just for fun of course!!

Having issues with a fullsize pic, so here's the link to the first of a 3-shot sequence:

Thank you guys for all of the nice comments!
Yes Jim, it's Chris' former boat, although the shape it was in the first time I saw it, made me question if he'd EVER even had it outside, much less on the water! It was/is literally immaculate. I just had the whole boat redone over the Winter at Skater, just to keep it looking as perfect as possible. They did a fantastic job on it, and Craig at Appearance Products outdid himself on the interior pieces, as well as other here & theres.
I absolutely LOVE it. For how I like to boat, it couldn't be a better boat for me. The size is plenty big enough to handle any water I'd be out in with no problem, and many of you know I REALLY enjoy running in big water of all kinds. Anything it can't handle, I likely wouldn't be boating in ANY boat that day anyway.
It's easy to transport, with only really needing a 2500 series truck with a diesel. My 2500HD pulled it with ease when I couldn't borrow one of the fellas' "semi's". Storing it is no problem either.
Another great part that can get overlooked with Cats, is aside from obviously being fast, it also cruises around comfortably at 60mph or whatever slower speed you want. If you want to just putt around and relax, it does that as well as it goes fast.
-That house in the background is owned by a long time Grand Laker. He's actually a Cat guy too, although I think he's between boats currently. He tried to model the look of the house to have similarities to the old "Justification for Higher Education" posters. The 5 car garage at the base is one of the give away hints to people that know the poster. It's really a great looking place. He has it for sale currently.
Thanks again for the compliments guys!
