Glad to hear it's all dialed in and you're happy with it. These inboard 30s are really great boats with mild, naturally aspirated power. It's interesting to me that your 30 (#2 built) is an '07 and mine (#1 build) is an '05.

My assumption is that it's based on the completion date & what Skater considers their production year!

I believe the model year cutoff date is the sixth (June) month of the year, and my boat was finished/delivered in May of '05 (hence the '05 model). I don't remember Mills waiting over a year before he got his after I got mine. I'm guessing he did though, and it must have been on or after June of '06. Either way, I'm glad it's working well for you!

To me the year of a boat like yours or mine matters not b/c each one is custom unlike a Formula or Baja where they were mass produced & similarly built just different engine pkgs or colors. Your & my boat are unique & you can't really compare them to any other boat except for maybe each other and even then you have custom power w/ Arnesons & I have a production power w/ matching retrofitted drives.

At the end of the day our boats are only worth what someone else is willing to pay for them regardless of the year! Just my $.02!

Congrats also on #48's historical run !! Class act.

Nascat, I was checking your boat out at Islamorada, VERY NICE!! Glad you had a great run!!!

Thank you!

Sorry we didn't meet I would have liked to put a name w/ a face. Met several OSO'rs while I was there!

Ktron - Nice to meet you at the Ilmor booth in KW. Sorry that I got distracted, and couldn't spend more time with you.

Nascat, You were busy and I didn't want to bother you. Next time I will make sure to introduce myself.

C Spray, Great meeting you too! I love your Bat boat, it is quite a rocketship!

Sure looked and sounded mostly all right to me! :drink:

Good to see you.
