They redid the fountain?

I thought the ugly ones in the fountain was done by the same company that did the skater?

Then again I may be,,,,,,,,,,,, just maybe confused

Waves and Wheels is currently in the process of redoing the Big Thunder Fountain's interior.

I have seen worse too, but not in a $800k boat. Makes you wonder why the buyer "opted" out.

Seriously? That doesn't sound like Skater.

It wouldn't be for the interior that I am sure he was part of in the design and fabric stages.

Interesting that a V bottom that long has such a porpoise - seems like you would just tuck the drives in a bit but there must be more to it. Would be interesting to her Tyson's (OSO Big Yellow Cat) view.

You guys are harsh. :O looking through the pics I didn't think the interior was bad. Different. But not bad at all. But then again, I guess it's not white vinyl.

If you could buy a 50SL Outerlimits or that Skater particular Skater for the same $$$, off the same sales dock - you would almost certainly take the OL admittedly because of the interior appeal. Miami's outcome will be interesting..... JMHO but I think you you would loose $$ on resale or starve waiting for the right buyer that wasn't taking X$ straight off the negotiating price to remodel.
