both have very big power.. (heres a couple of pics) my skater is seeing horsepower way beyond its jawanna days. also the shock absorbing seats are a must to ride beyond 130mph and 5 footers in a v bottom. my back still hasnt fully recovered from the old static seat days...

Very Nice !!!
I only have some single carb Big block in ours, but its still fun

I believe the boat Don Cooper ran with Rick Bulthius(bbobs future father in law) Called ''Juwanna'', was a 38 Fever, built by Fountain. I believe the boat after that, called ''Juwanna" was the boat 40 Skater Built boat that ViperFitness now owns. I think.

Judging from the Saber Wicked Won thread, there is some decent power going in that boat too...man, gonna be some big steam at this gathering!

Its gonna be awesome. I cant wait to hear the Thunder. I also cant wait for the after party.

Couple pics of the lake I snapped yesterday.

Now thats big water!!!LOL!!Love Apaches but Skater gets the win in big or small water !!Big Skater that is!Did East coast members survive this storm OK???Stay safe worst I've ever seen!!!

Joe - I don't know if Rick was still involved with the team when they had the Skater-built hull, but Don was. He's got pics of both boats hanging in the shop.

I put two-and-two together after talking with Don and seeing some of Viper's posts, and figured it was the same hull.

I was happy to let Don know she's still out there running stronger than ever!

Jimmy, where does this start and finish and what is the date for the event, where will it be held we want to get a room booked,

I don't think your motors will last for the whole run. And good user name I don't think any one will fiqure out who you are!
