1986 skater topgun PLEASE HELP!
 
Hey Guys, I'm new to the boat world but I'm dead set on building a nostalgic off shore boat. In the near future I'd like to buy a Skater but in the mean time this is what I'd like to do. There is a 38 foot top gun and I'd like to build it with dual 800's or something close and would love to use arneson surface drives I'd like to hear your opinions on the boat and the drives. What I could expect for speed and if the boat would react well to surface drives or be in favor of the leverage from a #6 or imco. Thank you in advance! Cheers Robby Woods

Look for rik from arneson. He is on these boards.
Also do a search for arneson in this forum.

I've talked with him alot and he's confident it will work well I just want to know more about the boat it self. What to expect?

Dave told me that the 29 and 32 are "Much better boats all the way around" lets leave it at that.....I'd like to know what the 34 did bad and hw bad is it?

but I thought you wanted an F-34?
