Chris played a big part in the purchase of my boat as well as the recent upgrade to the ILMOR Indy drives. Great guy, we had kept in touch since his departure from Skater, couldn't have been 3 weeks since we spoke last, said he was feeling much better!
Very sorry to hear, condolences to all!

Sherry, My heartfelt condolences, go out to you and
your family. I met Chris, in Sep 2011, when I started my
first Skater. He quickly earned my respect, and turned
a 'customer - vendor' relationship, in to a friendship. We
ultimately worked on three boat projects together, the
last of which I presently own. After he left Skater, we
remained friends, and called each other regularly. He
had invitations for both you and him, to come down and
join me in boating, Ft Myers Offshore events, air shows,
or just stop in and say hello. We spoke quite often when
his Mom got very ill. More recently flying was the tropic
of discussion, and he seemed to really be enjoying that
activity. My thoughts and prayers, go out to you and
your family.
