Skaters, MTI's are awesome performance machines. BTW 55 Skaters for sale in the classifieds. If you want to be top dawg, go with one of these. If you enjoy boating on the lake go with the DCB. Nice rigging and ergonomics. More Space for people and items because of the cabin. A place to get out of bad weather in the cabin. We get caught out in Lake Cumberland in showers all the time and it is nice for my wife and kids to be able to get out of the rain. Attention to detail is second to none Eddie Young told me that the rigging and construction of my boat was the nicest he had ever worked on. My boat is 13 years old and not one check or craze line, no creeks or rattles. The DCB's are much heavier than the Skaters. Hledin is a master of building things light and strong. But with the DCB's there is less of a risk of water intrusion into coring as the boat ages. Don't really hear of any DCB's needing to go to the shop to replace their fuel tanks... The training wheels make the boat much more maneuverable and fun at lower speed which most of us who boat on crowded inland lakes contend with. The true tunnels do not feel great until they start packing air which can be a speed which is tough to run at safely with SeaDoos pontoons, etc.. out in full force. The DCB is a fun boat, that is easy to live with, not slow, and built very well. The Skaters and MTI's are the fastest race machines on the planet and can be run on the ocean. I can not afford and don[t want to mess with a boat that needs a tilt trailer or wide load permits and no cabin. DCB owners can enjoy their time on the water and wave to the very few boats that can pass them.

I have the 1989 "econo family truckster model" 25' Talon with outboards. It's no Skater (LOL) but it will run side buy side with a 24 Skater or 25 Motion with equal power. I can run in 2 to 3s' anything bigger my friends in their Skater and Motion can handle the 3's and walk on me. Twin 280s 114 to 116 mph, twin 260s 110 mph and twin hopped up 225 promaxes 100+ mph propped for speed. You can do it on a budget Cap. Get you one they are all a blast!!




Keep selling people!
