U dont learn in a few months how to run a skater to its limits in rough water, just curious how much cat experience have u had? U have to realize you stuff a sponson running over 100 mph in 5-6' waves your dead

No cat experience. Absolutely none. Zero. Zippo. Not even 1 full hour as pilot in command.

But I have two guys who will throttle for me with bunches of hours both race and poker runs in Skaters. And I'm not stupid. I was a pilot who took almost twice the required training for every phase of the ratings before moving on. Unlike some guys with fast boats, I have far more brains than ego.

Thanks for your concern.

How about a tentative list of who might make it not a commitment but a list for June and then list for September?

I'm in either
