This is according to Johnny Tomlinson, and he should know.
Brad,
I don't always agree with this Ron P guy but here he is correct. I would also strongly suggest a call to Dave Scott. He owns a few of both flavors. Call if you need his number. SQ

Isn't MTI what you get when you don't want to be another Skater at a Poker run. The only step to go up after MTI is maybe a Platinum

How was the first MTI made?

I expect top speeds to really close so that is not a factor. I really like the Skater for build quality and reputation. I love the MTI styling and the cockpit. It seems to me the offshore racers are drifting towards MTI's lately. Must be for reasons?
Post #4 I believe partially answered your question. If your a racer who wants a new boat, chances are you won't be driving a Skater next season.

After visiting Peter's shop I'd take a Skater over almost any boat. Sure he's not the fastest but how many builders keep the boat in the mold for nearly a month. There is a lot to be said by low volume builders that take their time to make sure everthing is perfect.

How about resale, skater may produce 20 boat's per year, good for resale
