Default Ruffled Feathers Skater Undergoing Transformation at Chief

This 2002 32-foot Skater is at Chief Performance getting refreshed for the poker run season for Miami's Frank Areces—and the offshore racer is looking forward to his first poker run and many more.

Thanks everyone. Tommy and team are the best. It's the only place we trust and always take our boats. As we speak parts and motors are getting painted. Also thanks to Ron (Double Rigged) for the electronics and Rob from Rob Rich Graphix for our crew apparel. Looking forward to doing lots of PR.

Can't wait to see it when it's done.

Be careful, Frank... and get JT to take you out Haulover. Can't begin to tell you how much I learned in such a short period of time with him behind the wheel. Everything seemed completely backwards compared to driving the v's.

With that power, I'm bettin' that's going to be too much diameter on the props (possibly 1/4 inch too much). If I'm right, careful with the stern coming around when it lifts, especially under high speed acceleration.

Looking forward to seeing the finished product, it's going to be a 'screamer' for sure!

Good luck Frank and Mike!

Thanks everyone, we are definitely excited. Good advice Joe. I will take it slow and get the feel with some seat time before pushing the Rs.

When your boat was put together by the original owner, the rigging was laid out very well, super clean, and very simple stout. Ive always like the 32 B and your boat, enjoy.
