Here's some pictures of the all new 520 Skater Catamaran, 6 seats, BPM Drives, Rudder and a Gas Turbines!!!!!! Gas motors will also fit......................

520 Skater!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

1500hp Gas Turbines estimated top speed is 195+mph.

520 Skater!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

Estimated Top Speed with 1200hp motors is 160mph...

Here are few more.

Is that really a 46 with 6 feet of stuff added in the back for the drives?

That's a big motor scooter!!!

Interesting how they " guide coat " the gelcoat before paint , I do this all the time on old junk , just thought modern mold work eliminate this technique to insure straightness of hull or deck

520 Skater!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

For 2 Arneson drives and a rudder.

Mystic competition?:drink:

Yeah Baby :eek:


ITS A SKATER NATION !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:d rink:

If thats Mike's boat, isn't he using Arnesons and 3000hp plus per side.

Look at all the Carbon Fiber!! Awesome!

What carbon fiber? looks like guide coat to me....thats the stuff you spray on and sand off....are you referring to the sponsons and sides ? If you are,it is ! I didn't see any carbon.

Look inside the rear hatches.

I cant see carbon either

Top Cat!
Skater is on fire!!!!!!!!

look inside all the hatchs all carbon, 3000hp/side, that boat will actually take off, would like to see it, wonder if it would break 250mph barrier

My favorite boat brand. Wow, that will be an incredible boat. and it is a Skater, what more is there to say.

I can see the coring looks like balsa pannel in side the cockpit pit area don't see any raw cf in the other cats its black in color. anyway boat looks cool turbines are the balls.

This boat is for sale and needs a new owner.

All the black inside of the hatch openings is carbon fiber.

..

Miss Geico ran 210 with that power. I doubt very seriously that a Skater is 40mph faster than a Mystic.

show opens in 10 hours...........................

I wish I could be there... :(

Isnt that mike fuscos new 46 that is going to have the 1850 turbines?BPMs and rudder.Lugo manufacturing is douing the tilt trailer.

520 Skater!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

The 52' Skater in the pics is un-sold and is for sale. Could be a Miami boat show special!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No, no, no.

It's a hull that a dealer backed out on. This boat has nothing to do with Mike Fusco. Fusco is getting Arnesons and 3,000 hp turbines.

Rik The answer man!! :bigbird:

Hey hope you have a good show!!

With more and more of these engines coming to market, how fast can the Skater 520 go with a pair of these?

Very nice boat!

Way cool!!!

I bet 175 to 180 with merc 1300 or 1350. nice design

Good guess, I sold a 2005 46' with Mercury 1075's and it runs 150mph with 3 people and a load of fuel.

Amazing that such a big boat would run that fast with only 1075s. :eek: Do you know its all-up weight(passengers and fuel)? What was the time to plane?

I would like to see someone build a 46 with Gary Collegewood's convertible top. I thought that was a very clever solution to the entry problem.

Where's the pics of this thing done?

A breakthrough engine/drive package without doubt.

It had 3 around 200lb men +/- and 3/4 tank of gas. As fair as planning we haven't done a drag starts but it come up on plane with very little bow raise.

I think Gary's boat is very cool, most of the time at Desert Storm he was running around slow with the top up.

Here's a pic of the 46'.

Douglas MI

not near as fast as with a set of these....

Thats purdey:drink:
