The 338 is widened and sides altered to create a 10'6" beam per Peter.

Ok.. I was searching for the beam and they state it's a 9' beam so I added 8" and came up with 116"

What ever it is it's bad ASS!

All I know is I'm the proud owner of a new 14' door to my shop. Ever try to take out a 10' door set in concrete block and replace it with a 14' right under your master bedroom??

Sam, that thing turned out sick, Brad was really excited about this project and put a ton into it. You have yourself an incredible machine, well done and congrats!

Thanks LV, it was definitely a labor of love for Brad who was showing off what he could do. I asked for 850HP. He called me after the first dyno run and said we've got a problem. All I could think was what now. Then he explained to me how far north of 850 we were. All I could say was "that's a great problem to have!"

That is a really cool story, With the 30 prototype boat running what 160ish with 800 hp per side I bet your boat could put up some serious numbers.

Don't get me wrong I think skaters are the best boats in the world but the model names are kind of tough to follow. Example a 388 is a 38' hull with a bussle and a 338 is a 30' hull with a bussle lol

Love the clean white look. It probably looks better in person. Congrats Skate. You can't sell it though. Its just a perfect machine.
