I really like the one off boats, as I like uniqueness.
The yellow and orange one with the twin canopies is is gorgeous.
I think it’s just the paint, but I definitely cannot get into the “Skaterette”.

That orange 388 V-Rod Skater is my favorite boat of all time, actually got to see in in person years ago and talk to the owner before it was sold and went to Louisiana. It popped up for sale on here last year last post I saw was $275k not sure if it ever sold.

You're referring to collaborations between Reggie and Pete where Reggie has Pete lay up Fountains in epoxy instead of glass (Fountain boats still). Skip had Pete lay up the kilo boat but the bottom was a Cig or at least it wasn't a skater bottom I should say. The Baja deal was Baja contracting Pete to design a stepped vee for them when they were thinking of trying out stepped hulls. When the deal fell through It actually became the Superman Skater Vee. Few other skater vees were built (not too many though) and their success can be debated but we don't need to get into that. Point is, these are all factory partner deals. The Skaterette was commissioned by the owner originally through Skater as a 39' Skater and then taken to Cigarette for interior and motor rigging. It's still ALL SKATER. If someone takes their Baja to Skater to have them redo the interior and re-rig the power should it be rebranded as a Skater? I think not. LOL
It's just my opinion but it shouldn't be labelled as a Cigarette....It's not. Not to mention there's nothing wrong with calling it what it is. Not like Skater isn't a very well respected company. Though, I'd take a Cig vee over a skater vee all day.
