308 Classic Outboard Skater
#41
I'm building a 338 Fat Boy like the one they are building for Louie. I'm using ASD7's and marinized LSA's for power. My goal is to contain cost and produce a reliable rig with a good power to weight ratio. We will see if it works!
BTW we missed you guys at Destin this year it was a blast. You guys looked great ripping the bay to Pensicola last year! Hopefully we will be able to keep you guys in sight with the new rig.

Seems like there are a lot more Skaters with #6's than ASD's. Why is that?

Beautiful ride Louie! Congrats Sam. If I could afford an I/O cat the setup you are building with the ASDs' is the direction I would go in also. Steve didn't show any interest in Destin this year. Instead we did Lanier and Jacksonville. We are going to KW again. You really need to go sometime. It's the best in my opinion. A nice winter break and then Islamorada in Feb. When are you guys fatboys supposed to be completed?
