Then, MTI was born here and if I remember right the word was the bottom was a lightly modified pop of a Skater. So, if I have everything right, Skater is whipping azz indirectly. No?

Bingo! Funny how a guy gets sent over to race Skaters and magically becomes an "expert" boat builder. To clarify, I'm not specifically talking about Scism.

Truth is that if they had the rules now about copying boats back then (specifically the old 10% rule), there would be a few cat builders now that wouldn't have a business.

Well I don't think anything can run with that Stihl 388 these days, especially in smooth water.

Not sure on build time, but they are not laid up the same. You have to upgrade the Mti to get it to where every Skater is laid up.

What does "laid up" mean?
