32 Skater project
Sold the red Fountain and bought this Skater for the Chain-o-Lakes. This is (was) the worlds fastest 32 Skater called B'Yond Reason. The GPS recall was at 170. Since I wanted a minivan for cruising the engines came out. These low hour 525's are finally installed (by me) and ready to fire. Just need the tailpipes and ready to rock. Notice the mockup PVC tailpipe that will exit below the water line for noise reduction. The transom tips will have flaps for reversion and 90 degree turn downs to route the exhaust down for even further noise reduction.

I was able to angle the boat just enough in the garage to drop that port engine in. The old exhuast holes will have a painted flap to relieve the air pressure in the bilge. It should look nice.

The boat had 1200's. The seller kept them per our deal. I have a MTI with big power for those days when the urge to go really fast hits me. I wanted a reliable, cool looking 2nd boat. To me this is sort of like a minvan to go the lunch with the wife and not worry about wrenching on it all the time. I have owned too many fast boats that break down. Number Six drives and 525EFI are about as reliable as you can get for power. It is funny all my V-hull friends say the boat will be fast, cat friends think I am a wimp for using such small power.
