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.

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!
