Congrats on the new ride. Looks awesome. Quick question- when you built your Skater, why did you pick the 2 step bottom over the 5 step? Better characteristics? Just curious. Enjoy!

That's an easy one. I didn't build it! It had five hours on it when I bought it.

Right on and a Monster in the big water. That's the point of my first post. :) 3'3" is a good bit of difference when the advertised number of a 48 is 2' longer.

I think your 46' Flight Club was the first one Pete called a 50 right?

YES, IT IS A 46 WITH A 4' BUSSEL. Pete is in the works of coming out with a true 50. 50' running surface, 13' beam

Summer Obsession, why would you build a Shaft boat instead.
FYI, I agree as I have one being put together as soon as Randy gets it painted, but I am curious about your reasoning.

I like the way the shaft boats handle. A couple reasons people dont build them are that the 1350's come complete with drivetrain so you have M8's sitting there, and resale wise most don't want a shaft drive because they assume they are less maneuverable around the docks.
