North of South Haven, cool place, been a while but used to spend a lot of weekends in that area.

Actually, it's south of Grand Haven, between Holland and South Haven.

Home of the Coral Gables Offshore Challenges in the 80's. Old style, 155 mile races.

I'll bet somebody can post pictures: LOTS of big names back in the day.

Delaminating mystic-the boat is going to Skater today to get fixed.


Jeff,
Skater is only about 75 miles from Michigan City.
Will the issue be fixed in time for you to get the boat down here next weekend?
We'd LOVE to have that beautiful boat in Michigan City.

Sorry to hear albout all the problems you have been having. Amazing that the best stuff money can buy doesn't last.

Post your results with skater. I've heard many stories of other manufacturers boats going there to be fixed correctly.

It's a Skater Nation!

They fixed my Apache 41 twice: after races in Chicago (hull crack) and Coco Beach (explosion).

Boat left Skater better/stronger than new.
