32 Skater in classifieds
Came across the 32 Skater in the classifieds for 38k, I am looking for some help from the Skater guys about the older Skaters. Whats the good, bad, anything I should look for? How they run with tripps, Just some input from the guys that know these boats best. Ive been in the market for a spectre or Motion but wouldnt mind doing this project. Kinda wondering if an old Skater is like an Old Apache, Worth the time and money to build. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks Tom

I have a 1988 32 Classic and it is a Vinyl-ester / Kevlar lay-up and checked with the man ( Peter ) on that issue . Simply put any boat layed up with Vinyleter resin are not affected by todays fuel , epoxy and polyester resin have the problems . When they "fix the tanks" on affected boats they use Vinylester resin . My Skater is almost done

Gas Tanks
I figured the tanks would need to be replaced. What kind of cost is involved in that?
I was also thinking pull the 2.4's and repower with 300's. Any issues with transom's on these boats?
