Nice run this snow and ice is getting old fast

Cool Vid

Thank you for the great vid, must be nice...

Yea, Living in South Florida during these tough winter months SUCKS!!!!!:lolhit:

:evilb:

Thanks for sharing for us snow bound boaters. The 28 Skater is one my favorite boats.

now i know i want a cat.......... nice vid .....

Thanks it sure is cold here. High today 35! I need to move in the winter!

Wow!!! Great video!!! That boat looked like it ran pretty smooth out there on the ocean. What kind of speed did you running out there. Gotta love the warm weather, we have the same thing here in So Cal:)

I Am Impressed !!!

Nice video. Whats the differences between a 28 and 32? Obviously length but what about beam, tunnel depth, tunnel width?

28' Skater has a 8'.4" beam
30' Skater has a 9' beam
32' Skater has a 9'.4" beam

great vid.... i wish i was out there too!:musik010:

Thanks for the compliments guys! just wanted to keep you all motivated to get boats ready for the spring. Worked really hard on the set up for this boat. Made to run in the ocean where we live. I have to say for 28 feet it is impressive. Was running just under a 100mph. Ran a 42' Cigarette with staggered engines same day and smoked him.

nice video guy i loved my 28 it was a hot rod the go pro is cool i got one for christmas cant wait to try it on my 30 going back down to ft meyers end of mouth cant wait boy those gear cases realy take abeating on the 28s keep an eye on the oil for water get the vent kit for them well worth it have fun be carefull try some weight in the front of that boat just in front of your dash bulk head makes a big differance in the rough stuff and wont effect speed 25 lbs aside just try it trust me helped mine alot

Nice! Thanks for the teaser:drink:

Nice Video. Looks like a fun setup.

Be careful !!! Smoking Cigarettes is very addicting:evilb:

I think im moving to FL.... where else can you enjoy a Skater stroll on a goregous January afternoon.... unreal!

Bad ass video! thanks for posting

Nice video and the Go Pro did a great job recording but I have one question. What gives with the long sleeves shirts in FL?

Sweet Vid

What OB's are those They didnt have that normal high pitched sound maybe just the wind

NK

For Fl home boys 65 degrees at over 90mph is cold!

Jim thanks for the input. I have water in gear case already when they were stock but did not blow them up. I check them every time I go out. Have done Wayne Taylor seals and put expansion tanks on them. So far so good. I have to keep my fingers crossed though.
Hope to see you on the west coast some time. By the way met you at the Miami show last year with my friend Tom at the Skater booth.
Are you coming this year?

They are mercury 300x's. They are stroked and do not turn the rpm's of a 2.5. Also the wind noise has a lot to do with it. I will get another video up of a run on Lake Norman last summer with them wound up.

VERY IMPRESSIVE:)

Thanks for sharing. I really liked the "transom cam" view. Now all I want to do is shoot myself. My boat won't even come out of the barn until mid-May!

I wish I had that problem...

NK here is link from last summer at Lake Norman NC.

dr i will be there at miami for shure come buy i remember you guys now was good talking to ya

Gosh I love the sound of a snorty outboard - and you've got two really nice sounding ones on your transom. Nice! I've gotta get a video like that of mine with its open exhaust. I'm only turning 6,500 RPMs, but it sounds equally nice.

Remember, outboards only smell bad when they're in front of you - which they usually are.

too stroked you been smoking to much 2 stroke youll be hearing the nice sound of my big small blocks LOL

Love the 28 Skater!!! I'm rebuilding my snotty little 2.5s!! back in the water by March!!! Thanks for the warm up vid!!

Have you contacted Diamond Marine down here in Fort Lauderdale? They are the best and their motors make a ton of horsepower!

hay jimmy hows the hanger coming along

Great Video.

Do you know the setting you are using on the camera?

I wouldn't send them anywhere else!! Their the best!! The motors should be done shortly. I shipped the there a couple of months ago and said no hurry. But I'll be ready for them in February.

The heated floor is down and they will start assembling the metal building this week if they can work around the snow and ice. Bad time of year but it will get done by summer if I had to take a guess. See you in Miami!!:drink:

Marty & company are a true pleasure to deal with. Mine runs flawlessly.

Has anyone ever used or know anything about Jay Smith racing engines for 2.5's?

Search over at www.screamandfly.com he seams to have a good customer service over there.

What about that Camera? Amazon has a Gopro hero motorsports. Is it the same? I want one.
