I am not necessarily looking for speed, but if any comes with it, mo' betta. Removing 200 lbs from the ass end of a boat will do something, if only to lighten the ass end by 200 lbs.

Plus, I think it would look cool. Down here in SoCal, custom vehicle capital of the world, there is no end to making your ride look cool. Cars, bikes, boats ... skateboards, you have to personallize it. I want my **** to stand out amongst the BCC's, DMan's, Jeffrey's, KWB's, Stinson's, PhantomChaos and others.

Cig 1 - I understand, Just givin some Chit. Every little bit helps. After I get everything working right on mine I might be able to worry about that stuff. Maybe next year. Good luck.

Too late, I already put it back on. I put both engines back in Monday night. But I can easily lift either end by myself (no cushion).

I like the new hatches too. I was looking at having the center of mine cut out and raised, and installing naca ducts. The price tag came to $4500 so I decided on the scoops. Here's what I was thinking about..

Cignificant, that's a nice rendition(sic) .. that WOULD be sharp ... $4500 ... yeoweee

Jim, this is my third year with this boat and I am just now getting to the cosmetics .... You got the right boat, take your time and do it right. One of the guys from your area with the ?32 Skater? came down to our SCOPE Poker Run last year ... you should follow him down this summer.

Gary, I like the rendition also...i think it would be better thatn the scoops...no offense to those who have put them on, just my humble opinion.

it is styled much like the new boats and would make a great update. 4500 sounds pretty steep though..

If anyone wants to follow my rebuild process, I've posted pictures at www.geocities.com/greshah

My target is to have everything redone (engines, cuddy, cockpit, dash, hatch, and nose cones) by April 1 (yes, of this year ). Then next winter, it will just need paint.

Cig 1 - That would be Don Holtz and it's a 36 Skater. He is a very good friend of mine. He and I run the Channelman's Club up here. I hope to make it down this year but don't have a truck yet. I may just fly down and try to hitch a ride with someone. I've been about 110 in the Skater but the cats kinda scare me a little. I don't ride with others well to start with. The pic of your boat was the one that sold me on the Cafe' Racer. Here's a pic of my CR.

Gary, Do you guys have your CRT logos painted on or made from vinyl? I got a couple from Cigarette and they are about an inch smaller than the ones on there now. Your's are much bigger.

Here's the pic of your boat that sold me.

Are these two boats one in the same. He must have showed up late.
