Don't think so. Can't see Skater redoing the mold.
28' Skater is 8'4" beam
30' Skater is 9' beam
32' Skater is 9'4"

makes sense

This is fact , my 1988 32 a is 8 ft 6 inch wide . Go to NADA boat value site or come measure mine or the this red one . I hope you guys are referring to a 32 b being 9 ' 4 " if not I don't know how to reply

Major diff between 32 a and 32 b

Don't know about anyone else but I'm talking NEW or something older that is still in the current line up.
Looked at your #37 post and it does say 32 a. Been in several and sold a few of them but don't know the beam but it is narrower then the new 32b which would be the size of your 88.

32A=102" Beam or 8'5" according to mfg data

Blume how are ya?
Call me crazy but I've got six inches of 308 Skater hanging over each side of my trailer 8'6" trailer and everyone I meet on these narrow Arkansas highways dodges me! Also when we added 10" to the middle of a 308 hull to make the 338 we ended up with a 10' 6" beam by the time the deck was finished. I'm pretty sure the 30 has a 9'6" beam.

[ATTACH=CONFIG]521947[/ATTACH]Sam your close, Louie's boat started out at 9' 4" beam and ended up just short of 10' 2" beam. The 308 I think measures 9' 4" but for internet conversation it's got to be what's on the Skater web-site or you get your butt handed to you.
I'm doing well and I hope Will is continuing making progress and all is good with you and your family.

This thread is about a 32 classic (32a)... they are 8' 6". PERIOD!!!
Blume, didn't you sell Skaters for years???

The newer 32b is wider at 9' 4" iirc.

" ...you get your butt handed to you " too funny Blume!

I measured the width of a Skater trailer bunks for a 32B, and the maximum tunnel width on a 32B is approx 51", when measured under the chine, inside the tunnel

Most 32a will run right around 95-102 with twin 300X OB's, the 300XS will be a few ticks slower. A 32b will be significantly slower with OB's. The 32b was designed to be better suited for I/O's. OB's will work on the 32b, but it won't be too much of a performer.

Since you seem to only be talking about 32b's above, your numbers are VERY optimistic for a 32b/ twin 300 OB combo!
