this boat would not be remotely competitive in that class. its to tall, to heavy and to slow to compete in that class. look at the boat that replaced this one now "warcry" and it was half a lap behind the skaters. i don't know people are saying this boat is worth so much when no used boat is worth anything these days and used race boats are worth even less. its a realistic 5 figure boat. 45k to convert? i'd say jump and jump fast if that were the case.
For that kind of money I would say "who cares" How many people can afford to race in this class? This would allow me to keep my Skater in tip top show quality shape and beat the hell out of the MTI.
It would be crazy cool just to be in the loop with these guys and boats. When I have watched the races I can't even tell who's winning. I just see a bunch of awesome loud boats zooming by. I wouldn't even care if I got lapped. It's not like the prize money would even pay for your fuel.
I'd really like to find a partner to split it with. Then it's doable right now.

It's always a way I can rationalize to myself and my wife with a slow start. First it was a 32' Crownline, then a 4460 Regal, then a new 390 Sundancer, then a Skater. You have to progress slowly.
I've been repeating in my head over and over but I keep getting confused "wanting what you have not having what you want" Well I must have dyslexia because it doesn't seem to work that way for me.

I agree with you! Other racers wouldn't mind, it'd just give them one more boat to beat. Offshore racing today is whoever throws the most money at their boat.... WINS!

I just figured out it was a 2 and not 4 seater. I'm no expert on the boat market (except I spent the last 12 months looking at everything), but it seems price right for what it is. About as limited of a market as the 46 Skater with diesel engines.
I would bet if the price was lowered to $125k it will still sit for a while..If it had 4 seats it would be worth twice as much (to me at least).

DOI seem like a ton of fun for the money! Pier 57's good job at pricing them so they don't have birthdays.
