It shows why Skater is a year out, and they can name there price. Your boat rattled me so much I had Scott Conrad start to work me a price. With 75k worth of aluminum Donovan dry sump aspirated 540 cubic" motors from my engine builder, hook to bravo style drives, rigged on a trailer was about 380K. Does this sound right on price?

i would think the dead pedal would be a must to keep your balance...

We used the in-control unit. Your foot does not fly around in the thing.
Maybe that's down to the layout of the cockpit? There is a dead foot and the foot throttle and the seats are set at the right angle.
