there wasn't any skaters in my limited racing career in P1 ?
as for the print thru, i can't speak for kap's boat but that will be the first i have heard about print thru on a DW, since he uses all epoxy primers, fillers and paints. and please lets not kid ourselves that skaters don't have this issue. i owned 2, wrenched on a 388 SC and have seen several others with print thru. its most prevalent on the decks since skater gelcoats the hulls but the decks are flat sheets cast on a table.
i remember talking to 2 different custom painters that constantly complained about skaters. they could not put the boats in ovens to cure paint without major issues. they elluded that skater used polyester body fillers and epoxy resin, which different temperature curing points. both made a practice of baking the boats in a oven before ever starting and paint work.
if memory serves me right, skater just in the last few yrs started painting his own boats and i'm still not sure if he even post cures.

damn skater30, is that a pic of your boat ?
seriously, no really, seriously how can ever be sure water didn't get into the balsa core ? did you take core samples or whats the repair for something like that.
ps, i just asked for a pic of it running 160 not taking off to Mars. WTF????
gotta say skater does build a good boat, its still floating

And yes, I am one of the handful of elite Skater capjob testers! 
Mine tested good for the few hours it doubled as buoy #30 on the San Joaquin River.

Sorry Kap, I meant no disrespect. A guy who lives a couple miles down the road from me raced a Doug Wright cat with outboards (Dennis Berry) and it was very well made boat that he always spoke highly of.

You might also want to get a surveyor to check it out before you buy it. Just saying..... I'm not too keen on someone coming into my thread... simply to jack it up and start his own personal agenda.
Oh perhaps Mr. Rayzor aka Skater30 can put up videos with his concours cameras of all the structural damage that occurred to his boat. Great selling point....dumb azz.
Well it seems OK if the Skater boys come into a Doug Wright thread and trash talk. I don't f'ing think so! Wheres your boy he is the Skater dealer coming into a DW thread posting photos...gimme a break 32 Skater is $325 that makes a DW a bargain.
I don't know what your problem is douche bag but you need to get the flock outta my thread. I called you to find out what your problem is but you don't have the nads to speak up friggen coward. So why don't you and your minions just crawl back under the rock you came out from under!
You stalked me on my Facebook page...you did the same thing on Performance Boats Forums and now here.
I mean really why are you in this thread other than to disparge the product?

I do not mind reading reading threads when someone may stir-the-pot (cause a little controversy) when reasonable, but this thread, which was about a new, good looking and fast DW boat has went to hell in a handbasket. Bickering over the DW and Skater, for neutral party like me, who loves to hear about the new boats, about someone upgrading hardware seeking a performance improvement is great reading, but this b*tching back and forth is just, teenage sh*t. The thread about the new Hustler 39' Rocket which went fast disintegrated into a pissing match about speed, and Outerlimits.
I like the Doug Wright boats, I like the Skater, I like the 39' Hustler Rocket, I like most Outerlimit models, but b*tching needs to stop. Come-on man!
