My new Skater

Well I finally made the deal on a Skater 32b, to say I'm excited is an understatement. I'll be picking it up tomorrow and delivering it to Supreme marine, Troy is going to de-rig it, remove the 2.5's and then re-rig it with new 300xs's with smartcraft. Here are a few pics

Are you going to rerig it with quad 300's?

tzrider 04-17-2007 09:05 PM

No I'm re-rigging with twins

Lucky Strike Jr 04-17-2007 09:23 PM

Nice boat! I drive by it everyday. I guess the Pantera didn't work out?

tzrider 04-17-2007 09:25 PM

Hey Lucky
The Pantera deal was about to close and this deal came together and i couldn't pass it up.

You will really like this boat.

TexomaPowerboater 04-17-2007 10:04 PM

Sweet....

tzrider 04-17-2007 10:13 PM

Anyone have an idea what I should ask for the 2.5's, they have 70hrs total of mostly fresh water and the lower units have just been gone through

thedonz 04-17-2007 10:44 PM

I would ask $12,000 + ea .Parting them out might bring more:D

yahoo 04-18-2007 05:38 AM

put them on scream and fly, you can probably get about 9-10k each. enough to pay for the 2 300xs

SKRAMER 04-18-2007 07:16 AM

Congrats!!!!! Sweet !!!

KNOT-RIGHT 04-18-2007 07:23 AM

Awesome boat!!

DiamondPerformance 04-18-2007 08:37 AM

Have you run the boat with the four 2.5's, what was that like!

GLH 04-18-2007 08:38 AM

Sweet rig.

Good Luck with it.

tzrider 04-18-2007 08:47 AM

Diamond
The boats flat out hauls with the 2.5s however it's a bit stern heavy.until the boat gets above 70-80 the ride is so so as the tunnel gets slapped a little hard. Above that is is great, I have only been in it once and and feel it's manners around the dock, fuel efficiancy and reliability would be better with the 300's..any suggestions

Paul

DiamondPerformance 04-18-2007 09:00 AM

I agree, the 300xs will be a great choice.

redlinecat 04-18-2007 10:02 AM

nice skater
 
Congrats on the boat.

Love those outboard cats.

Good luck with the 300xs the run great.

I know this will get slamed on here. But spend a little time looking at the verado's. They are coming out with a 300hp soon and more hp in the future.

You get power steering, and I think mayfair or someone has the steering worked out, Ocean Performance in NJ was rigging a 32 with them.

Also heard a sportmaster gear case was coming.

The extra weight between them and the 300xs wont matter on a boat as big as the 32.

That is a very cool 32B! I hear those 300XS's are killer!

Beautiful boat! I made an offer on that boat a few months ago. Ended up with a 1999 32 Classic with I/O's. You will have no problem selling the right hand drive engines in the 8-10k range. The lefts will be tough as stand alones unless you sell them really cheap. I reccomend holding out and ONLY selling them in pairs of right and left.

Cash Bar 04-18-2007 03:59 PM

I saw it today and she's a beauty for sure.

TeamSaris 04-18-2007 04:10 PM

Nice!:cool: Nothing like a Skater.:cool:
