The 52's a beauty. Is there any running shots of it???

Any word if Ron (Flight Club) has a build under way for a summer debut?

I would love to duplicate the black/gold flight club skater in a smaller version. The 33 fatboy has a different style design

All the hype points to that direction and it is a awesome running boat but for lake use some might like a 338 or 357, for rough ocean use a 40SS or larger might be better. The 388 sure has the reputation of being our hotrod model though.

Blume- Screw just calling the 338 & 357 lake boats... I rode on Nascats 30 in the ocean from Miami to KW. Ben Robertson Sr was driving & we were in some good 2-4 footers and the boat was running awesome & no problem through it at like 75-100... Ben came over the radio and said "this is a 30 footer? No way feels like a 35 out in this stuff thing handles this slop with ease!"

Skaters are just Big & bad period, nothing lake about any model!! I've seen a 28 go through SF bay which is very rough, handled it no problem. Sure of course a 40ss would be better!!

Blume, it seems that there are so many variations of skaters based on length, width, SS, SLW, bussel designs, etc. Do you have all of them cateloged with examples and pics?
