Re: New 30 Skater in Powerboat
dont get me wrong, that boat is absolutely DEAD GORGEOUS. I mean when ya look at like a 30 spectre 300x's, fully rigged, trailer etc...$1teens, 30 AMT 6.0 Vortec's, IMCO Extreme's loaded up high $100k area (which still seems a little steep) in comparison to a new 32 Spectre 575's loaded up trailer etc...$230's Granted none of these will run the kinda MPH the 30 Skater does with those monster motors but just pricey as hell. I mean even a new 32 skater with like 525's and arnesons gotta be more reasonably priced then that 30 no ?

Re: New 30 Skater in Powerboat
Earlier in this year, not now, you could have purchased a 32' Standard deck Skater (quarter canopy) with the same power for about the same cost as a 30' flat deck.
With the new pricing increase last month, the 32' cost a bit more now vs the flat deck 30'. The drive train is a mute cost as either boat needs a drive train. Rigging is the same and so is the trailer.
PROROC just finished a new 32' Skater with 496's that ran 105 on the bump box first day in the water with fuel and people. Yes this is a much less expensive package as the engines are less than one of the Sterling's alone.
The $460K was a price that was put there for the Mag. It did not represent what I sold the boat for.

[QUOTE=Harper220] I think Skater is a bit too proud of their boat.

When skater runs out of orders their prices might drop. Too proud is a relative term. Ferrari's are an expensive way to get to the store too. NK

Not really. The mag has not hit the West coast yet so he, like I do not know what is written.
As you know we don't know what to expect. I'm having a copy over nighted to him. I'll tell him of this thread and let him take it from there.
You ever get that video on a CD?
