Wow on the power, and wow on the 6's being able to handle it!

6s are it, especially when Vern builds and maintains them

The best is the truck out front with barrels loaded up in the bed lol.

Boat is a fav of mine and I am not the biggest Skater fan. He has it all right in that one though.

This Skater is high quality throughout. Thanks for posting this thread, I enjoyed it. Looking forward to more from all involved.

Don't tell me your a fan of those boats that just have fancy owners with merc turbo power in everyone of them. I believe it has the letters TMI in it. Lol haha

I am actually a fan of just plain ole Vee's.

Cats are fun and cool but nothing I ever want to dabble in. I will leave that to these guys

come on now ...skater is doing it as well ...you have to admit a 388 is just about perfect 165 to 170 mph with merc 1100's on 89 pump gas with all that reliability and a 1 year warranty is hard to beat .... may not be psi glamour motors but mercs run and idol like a dream if you had the money i think it would be tough to pick between the to manufactures ... both our great boats and each have there own pros and cons

I will say I always liked MTI interior much better. Having said that the inside of that new Skater "F46" was as nice as it gets.

I know what you mean, it's all in fun. Yes merc motors are awesome, I was just saying that the only thing MTI owners seem to use.

And no it would not be a tough choice for me to choose between the 2. Again this is of course my opinion.

Skater Nation. The original!
