Nice vid. Looked like the boat was taking on that water pretty well.

If I were to get a sit down boat that would be my choice,:cool: Jeff

Hot ride !!!

Re: Skater V Running at SOTW
 

awesome boat, just dont understand why the 39v is'nt selling, is it because the price is too high, is it more than a ol39gtx or 39cig?

Re: Skater V Running at SOTW
 

Nice looking ride!

Re: Skater V Running at SOTW
 

wiggler, i priced one in general terms over the phone with the internal sales guy from douglas marine about 2 or 3 years ago and it was not out of line. they could not at that time decide what direction they wanted to go with it though, cuddy, no cuddy, sit-down, etc. i think they were trying to let the market take them to the end product rather than taking the market to their ideas. this was just the impression i got in my conversation on the phone. they were very open to my ideas of options and more than willing to accomodate, i did not pull the trigger on it then though because i did not know how the market would respond.

Re: Skater V Running at SOTW
 

I tried to call them today to get a price, no answer..

Re: Skater V Running at SOTW
 

They are not that outrageous.

List on the V starts at $314K and discounts down from there.

Re: Skater V Running at SOTW
 

I am a total Fountain guy but I will give the kudos on that boat. Runs flat on the water and looks smooth. Job well done with the Skater team. This is going to be the best year ever for race fans!!! Fountain, OL and Skater are going to be crazy commpetitors this year. Sit back and enjoy the battles!!!! You know the smack talk will be flying this season!!!

Happy holidays. I had the chance to play around and test this boat last year and you would not believe how flat it runs. Nothing like an Apache. That was probably no tab right there. 131 with 1075's and 6's. In calm water it was amazingly fast. NK

Re: Skater V Running at SOTW
 

Wish we could hear the engines and not that g*y music.

Re: Skater V Running at SOTW
 

NK, I was shocked in the vid at how straight that boat would fly, even when the wave temperment threw it different directions, it must have been awesome to drive, guess i better go to the next step and test with checkbook in hand. Has anyone heard of any performance numbers, or has there even been any with 525's, 600's, 700's or 850's? 1075's are awesome but more than i need(i did not say want). hammer

Re: Skater V Running at SOTW
 

boatme, when will the vids be out, can not wait to see a lot of great shots like this?

Re: Skater V Running at SOTW
 

Hammer
It did fly very level. I know Spiderman ran 105-109 with 525's so figure in between for the other motors. NK

Re: Skater V Running at SOTW
 

way cool boat!

Re: Skater V Running at SOTW
 

It's a GREAT boat!

I just thought it was landing a bit bow-down in that video.

But HEY! WTF do I know? I always ran launching to the moon.

Lynwood Lupo @ Lake X said that was the way to run that ol' turd. So we tried it.

Not "correct," but it seemed to work for us.

Did another Vee ever beat Allez Vite? And that includes Reggie!

BTW, Peter says a Vee @ 130 is not he's idea of "fun." Even his.

You wanna go that fast, get a cat.
