The water was a little rough on Wednesday. We made it as far as Islamorada again and blew a motor for the second year in a row. We ran the first leg to Gilberts in 3s' and 4s' with the occasional 5 footer or more running between 80 and 100. It was the best drive I have had so far in my friends 36 skater. It scared the chit out of one of the girls. Phuck the ***** in the boat next year!
You will have it setup soon and will be running 110+ in no time. We got the "other" DW running 115+ with the 280s' so I know your hull will do it easy. Your right it's all setup. Peace.

I was in the Skater, anchored on the beach, as you went by towards Boca Grande Pass.
A few minutes latter you came by, going the other way. I grabbed my camera, but I did not
have the real big lens with me, so this are just out of my reach. Enjoy.

Currentely it only has room for 2 seats and some storage behind the seats for bumpers, ropes, cooler, ect. For my wife and I it is more than enough becasue its just the 2 of us in the boat.

Just an update, been playing with set up and props. Ran 107 mph @ 6000rpm this weekend with 1/2 tank of fuel. I still think I can get to my goal of 110 with a few more changes in the setup.
