Skater even builds their own custom trailers in house..... I have been to several boat factories over the years and nobody does the amount of custom work that skater can and does do. The talent level of the employees and their love for building every thing about these boats really shows and definitely reflects the the work ethic and drive that Mr. Hledin has. Skater sets the bar for custom boats world wide IMO!

Been there many times. Skater is not on the water.

Is this canopy boat a race boat?

What will be filled in the void on the roof? Acrylic glass perhaps?

Hey Boss, thanks for the nice write up! Chris Mills and I are partners in the buisness. And he is the one that lays down the paint.. I'm just another not so pretty face, lol!

You guys are welcome back any time. And Blume, thanks for stopping in.. Send some of that paint work our way .

Tom
