On our little puddle they are more like 5 and 6ft brick walls that are close together, especially between the islands. I know when I @#&k up and wait too look to make the run home and the lake is worked up...I am usually the only dummy out there..and I am going slow caus they hurt. just sayin..

I grew up on Lake Erie and you are right... 5-6's on Erie are sharp, close together breakers and NOT where you want to be. NOTHING like 5-6's here in the Gulf.

after all this years he knows all his off spring.Who bought them who raced them and who

You are right on the money about Peter top notch guy! When I purchased this boat I called Him about it, As soon as I told him It was the witz end race boat he told me everything from A-Z about the boat you would have thought he built it yesterday! I am the third owner and he knew the other to personally. He asked if he could call me back later and I said sure! He called me back in about an hour, He had went and pulled the file and build sheets on the boat! He answered every question I has and mailed the original info on the boat to me! All this on a boat he built 15 yrs ago! He didnt make a dime off of be but treared me as if I just purchased it from him. That is what I call customer service, and why when I buy a new boat it will be from him!

I went with Steve to look at the boat and I have worked on it and boat on the same lake now. I tell ya pics dont do it any any justice it is one Sweeeet peice of machinery. He just had one of our local shops ( Marine Pro ) do some custom storage compartments in the cockpit for some storage room, they did a great job utilizing the space in front of the fuel cells.
I luv the 32' Skaters but I am pretty partial to 30' Shadow's.

Not one single time in all 9 pages of this thread has anyone said anything about an Apache.
An Apache would have went to Hong Kong & back in Typhoon conditions on one engine with water contaminated fuel before the Skaters or Laveys even would have made it out of the harbor.
