That is the original Skater. It is a type of spider that goes across water. It has been part of Skater Powerboats as long as I remember. Peter loves it.

Also that little bug is how Pete came up with the name Skater.

Gerridae. Today's science moment brought to you by Wikipedia... and "Skater" sounds way cooler than "Jesus Bug Boat Company".

Sorry for the derail, Mr. Boden. Pictures are excellent per usual, love the outboard OL.

'79 or 80's vintage - the early 24' we ran had that logo. Great to see it back and well received.

Incredible looking boat!
