2000 46 Skater GPS@223MPH ???????
I was checking out my new (Feb. 06) Powerboat Mag. and saw an add in the classifieds that made me wonder......
It read as follows....
2000 46 SKATER (4)1800HP GE Turbines,
GPS@223MPH, $1,600,000 (then his name and number)
My question is, If someone has a 46ft Skater with four turbines and has GPS it at 223MPH, then why haven't I seen or read about it here on OSO???? I would think something like that, everyone would be talking about. If someone does know the skinny on this boat, then share it with us!!
I'm not trying to start an $hit with anyone, I just saw the add and it caught me eye.

Hello, golden bagel insurance.
yes i need insurance for a boat.
well you have come to the right place sir, what kind of boat are we talking about.
ummm, it's called a "skater"
ok and how big is this boat?
it's 46 feet long and 10' wide.
my word, that sounds like a big boat!
yes ma'am, I need the room.
oK, and power in this boat is what.
well, i dont know how to tell you other than just coming out and saying it, I have 4 aircraft engines in it.
ma'am?
ma'am?
yes I'm here. I seem to have a bad connection, I thought i just heard you say there were aircraft engines in your boat.
yes ma'am i did, 4 1600 horsepower motors for a total of 6400 horsepower.
in your boat?
yes ma'am.
is this a prank call like on the tv show? are you with those yanky cranker people?
no ma'am
uhhhh I don't think we are going to be able to service you sir but I wish you the best of luck.
Would it change your mind if I told you it was an Apache and not a Skater?
I dont know what that means sir.
Just pullin your leg, have a nice day.

I was thinking the exact same thing how do you go about getting an insurance quote on that thing???????
Oh wait you just paid over 1.5 Mill. So aw who cares about insurance you must have it covered in case of loss!
