There's an older 32' Skater for $235k in the classifieds, I'd say TopCat is worth that & maybe even a little more. My guess it will sell for $250ish. |
Only 2 reasons things don't sell, they are over priced or they are a POS. Pick one.

Looks like a solid, reliable poker run setup that'll run good without high dollar maintenance in a modern hull design to me.
Two things come to mind: 1. Skater has/had a 368 hull for sale with no power for about the same price so it doesn't seem overpriced for a turnkey boat. 2. Correct me if I'm wrong but 6's can be bolted up to NXT transom assemblies so you could put 6's on it easily. |
" Skater has/had a 368 hull for sale with no power for about the same price so it doesn't seem overpriced for a turnkey boat."
Are you thinking of the never rigged white 368 w/trailer from CK Motorsports? IMHO, for the money in the neighbour hood of a quarter mil - it is what it is, a nice running 368. If anyone is putting it down for the reliable package topping out around 120ish mph.... they can take another Million$$$+ to Peter and he can build them a sister ship to PP. There's lots of boats that are on the market for a while for whatever reason.( Flightclub has boats listed before he fires the engines it seems - more power to him to be able to build each year). The owner of the 368 has a price in mind and is sticking to it ather than taking a low ball offer. In the mean time he's got a Skater! Insurance on a cat also can play a factor in who buys a cat these days depending on where you boat out of. |

I just don't see it selling for more than $200K , I think its been on the market for well over 2 years now. As for the 32 @ 235K way over priced, that one has also been for sale for a long time. I think when boats are on the market for that long it speaks for itself. There worth only what someone is willing to pay !

For me, I think this boat will be far more reliable/user friendly, I would get the necessary experience driving a Cat, and then make the decision or bigger and or faster. One thing is for certain, I will never ever be the fastest boat on the water, even if I had millions of dollars. I like the boat, I am thinking like a man on a budget, not a man with unlimited funds available. But that is my $.02 opinion for the day. And what is not to like, it is a Skater!!! I need seat time and experience before I would even consider a boat like Pure Platinum, Predator, Tomcat, ect.. they are all beautiful, fast, but are dream boats for me. |
