“Fastest Skater” Competition Returning to Shootout
 

A new wrinkle added to the Skater compeitton,http://speedonthewater.com/in-the-ne...-shootout.html.

I like that they are doing something for the vees also. I know there will be at least one there:drink:

Cool idea!

The cash reward was certainly nice, but if Skater keeps it going (and Peter Hledin is a man of his word) being on the "Fastest Skater" trophy is a lot more meaningful.

I agree........but 10k is pretty nice too:drink:

I would love nothing more than to see my name on that trophy.

Is'nt this V the 1 and only one made by Peter ?

The 488 Skater V is there also, with 1500's. You've got somecomp if he runs Eddie.

fountainfan, there a handful of V's maybe 7-8.

Can't wait Matt..!!

the shootout is getting better and faster every year!

Im really looking to see Gary Smith and Chip Romer's
boats and how they perform...

So you own a Skater V-bottom. Lucky man. Most impressive V-bottom ride I've ever had a 135 mph.

Good luck this weekend. Stay safe.

Matt, It's his client/friends boat. The same one you tested. Eddie rerigged and built 1200's+ for it. Owner had a 377 Talon and 43 Nor-Tech, now this sweet Skater.

Quite a collection, quite a progression.

I feel very fortunate to have ridden in that boat.

This is very cool.

Here's another vee- Tom's Tainted Lady.

He brought her here this weekend...
there are a LOT of Skaters on this lake right now. :drink:

There is another pleasure 399 with a wrap around windshield. It doesn't have a cabin though. I thought the one that I did (Bruce's) was the only one with a cabin. The one with the wrap around has a similar paint scheme to Bruce's but with green (I think) as the primary color. JC Perf. did the power in it. I believe they had some handling issues with the boat. Not sure exactly. I think Lake Cumberland has it for sale with 700/NXT's.

Unfortunately it isn't mine. I rigged and built the power for it. I did have the pleasure of running it last year at the Shootout and was lucky enough to win Non Pro Vee, as well as my class. I would love to do it again this year. Bruce wasn't able to make it last year so I took the boat, trailer and matching truck and headed to LOTO. Now that is a good customer that will give you his entire rig to go flog on.:drink:

Are you glad I'm not up there putting "Pressure" on ya? :evilb:

What kind of MPH with that 700/NXT's set up?I know the Skater V' rock&roll just wondering??:party-smiley-004:
