Jim,

doesn't it have an aftermarket windshield and swim platform? Why not just restore it to factory original? It will make it worth more money.

Definately would not make it worth more,mthe full wrap wind shield is a 25k option from skater and the bussel is another 10k option, nobody wants the quater canopies anymore. Boat looks awesome with them and is 44' long and is easy to get out of the water on tie bar and alot of room to sit and lay on bussel, girls love it

I'm a fan of the 1/4 canopies. Not a fan of the wrap around windshield but thats me.

What is a bussel?

I think it would be worth more back to original UNLESS the full windshield was installed by Skater and was purchased from Skater.

Please post pictures of your boat. I would buy it for "under $100,000" after a comprehensive survey of the boat and motors.

Skater does not make their windshields, mine was built and installed by the company who builds windshields for bobcat, caterpillar, and nascar. It is polycarbonate not acrylic like new skaters have, bussel is the drive overhang . I thought u just bought a skater, but i still see its for sale.

It hasn't been delisted from the previous owner. I have no contract for selling it. What does that have to do with the topic at hand Jim?

It doesn't change the fact that your boat would be better original. Not just my opinion but the opinion of the entire boating world....
