Interior in. Mike from Fine Line truly did an amazing job with the upholstery! I hate to say it but this may be the nicest 28' Skater built to date! Boat heading home to NC. Testing starts next weekend after break in.
Stay Tuned if it runs as good as it looks should be fast!

That is the sh!t right there. Well done guys! Looks fantastic. I'm very impressed on how those X's sound at idle. Can't wait for the dial in. Did I miss what props you will be running? Good Job Ron.

He bought the set the Dale ran on his boat they pushed his 300xs powered rig to 120mph.
Should be a good starting point.

I have the mercury smart craft converter/adapter and it seems to combine the fuel burn both motors together.

Yes as long as you have the multi-engine gateway and the motors are set up properly you can build a custom screen layout on the Garmin and tell it what information you want in each box.

I'm impressed with the work and detail you have done, very nice....As a Texan says, very "Sanitary"

I missed the part on fuel tanks, but saw the Bare Hull and part about capping the tank top. Something else was said to make me wonder if you had gotten a bare hull and added Aluminum tanks.

Our 28 Skater has never seen Ethanol, I had been hopeful good gas would return, so, the tanks are original. Further, an Executive from one of the major refiners had said there is another grade of gas to come. However, being impatient, new tanks are on the do-list.
