Shane and I Think alot alike, ( WE LOVE SKATERS ) The 18' started in the 70's and made it into the 80's. I believe it was competing with cougars little cats. but like skater18 said not one of their more famous boats. I think Shane said his old 21 is for sale. What a great boat. Good Luck, Craig

The original 18's were built in Quebec before Skater moved to Michigan. You still see 18's running around on the lakes north of Montreal.

Nice pic C12, my 18 only does 75mph. What do I need to do to get it up to 90 mph. My transom is a little loose. Ed I have a '79 skater 18 . I'll try to get some pics for you .

Cool

Here are some links to pictures of my 100+MPH 18' Skater. Ignore the 24 triple, and the 24 twin. It is for sale and is one of the best examples of the late 70s Skaters you'll find.

It can handle water that'll slow a 25 check, and it seats 6!
If you know of someone who wants a turbo 2.0L on a 79 18' Skater that will run over 100 MPH (on pump gas), send me an E-Mail.

Didn't the 18 "S" model have a true tunnel, without the center pod?

I grew up riding in an 18. It was a great little boat, especially for cruising in small lakes all day long at 80 mph with 4 people. The flip down back seats always made for an interesting ride though when the water got a little rough. Made for a nice ski boat too--I think my uncle got up to about 60-65. Just a little crazy.
