The beauty of your boat Jim is it not only kicks ass, it "hauls" ass as well - both literally and figuratively. Who doesn't like to see your boat show up at the dock?

Always enjoyed that powerboat. Going from memory here, but I believe when raced as Zero Defect she sported multi speed transmissions, and (then new unheard of) dry sumped VISSM's. Had a undefeated race season. An exciting Skater to be sure!

Love it when I see that boat tearing it up. Gives me hope that mine (2002) has a lot more years left in her.

Is that 32k plus unlimited lap dances?

After that it was raced as Big Thunder for a couple of year and then refurbed into Freedom US1 poker run boat. The only race its done as Freedom was Bimini and back. Still has two speed transmissions (Speed Shift)

A testimony to Skater's build quality!
