Next Goodwin-Powered Platinum Edition Skater is in the Works
 
The next 388 Skater with Goodwin Competition engines is expected to hit the water this summer. Here's the first story on the boat being built by longtime performance boater Dave Branton with guidance from fellow poker run enthusiast Bill Pyburn.

Don't matter, it will be M8s. Predator is running 2k HP through 6s

Has there been a turbo motor that's gone 600 hours without being opened up?

I hate the sound plain and simple. Boring and flat and I don't care to just hear turbo's whistle at high speed.

I don't hate merc but if I had the money and a choice I rather not use them and go with a great builder instead.

Even the guys in the video say "quiet". No soul in that at all, sorry.

yes I know this is his old boat/set up but there is only a few short clips of his new one and it sounds just as good.
