I agree that the #6 boats would be a much better option but my original plan was to replace the Bravo's with IMCO SCX drives.

The Skater cabin is barely enough to even sleep. Id rather sleep on the Talon. It does have a cabin.

I went to the Hustlers site and did not see the dimensions of the cabin for the Talon. In the pics it looks small and looks like the head is between the 2 cushions. I have 3 girls to deal with and so far the only 1 they want is the Awesome. I test drove 1 at the factory when it was open and my wife loved it.

There was a 36 Skater years ago that raced under the Yahoo name...with 500 HPs and supposedly ran around 112 mph. Was that a Bravo or # 6 boat?

And currently Spectre is one of the only manufacturers that is actually building boats and showing strength and presence. Spectre is still tooling up new stuff for the market as well....
