That's not because a skater cannot push those speeds, but that just isn't the market they are necessarily going after. Im sure skater wouldn't hesitate to build a 200mph cockpit boat.

Pretty sure the "50" Mystics are 43 feet in actual hull length, like the "50" Skaters are 46's.

Did JBS also have a glass problem at the last race in Florida or was that just a bad rumor?

Wow... So that's from the 2nd boat?

I haven't kept up on the boards but was anything ever said about it? I had heard it from someone who was at the race but never bothered to confirm.

last years boat had "cosmetic" issues so many times you could not count them. from front to back and even the trim rams were going through the bottom of the boat. stringers were added and we were told that "it's only cosmetic"...

this year..."it's only "cosmetic"!!!

"we may have been able to be fixed the night before the race—but both Jeff and I judged it wasn’t prudent to take the chance."

john made the call and said he was unable to fix it there.

jeff and i are not into getting killed because of "cosmetic" damage.

skater has been an AMAZING help!

the above pix is the "cometic" area that was fixed every day in key west and the next year!

when the boat blew in miami jeff and i were in constant communication with shore and the powers that be...."it's only cosmetic" we know how that ended.
