The Skater has always been a very bad boat. Always one of my favorites! Back in the day it use to destroy everything else it ran against. It was so loud the ground would shake when it went by.
The Mti is new technology. The boat and the engines are the newest best technology available now. The motors in the boat are incredible. I know the numbers the MTI has run and I don't think the Skater has a chance.

I think it is about as cool as cool can get.
A two boat 'grudge match' is about as cool as it gets no matter what the circumstances.
Kudos to these guys for putting it on the line just for kicks.

The Shootout is bad ass and a FUN weekend. I'm pumped to hear they are allowing boats to start their run on plane without penalty. The new course is supposed to be smoother during the run as well.

this is gonna be awesome. offshore drag racing. i remember the offshore race in texas? about 10 years back, where it was too rough, so they raced inland. two skaters (alcone and the mercury boat-can't remember that guys name) were almost trading paint.
we know the 4 engine skaters don't do the highest absolute speeds, but what about acceleration?
i'm gonna go skater on this one. the 4 skeg drag ain't gonna make a difference in a drag race. the additional weight is of engines only (for the most part).
but i guess we'll see.
how about two 28 skaters goin' head to head.

Anyway it won't be a standing start.
