Never heard that. Pretty sure bill put almost 200 hours on them. They had some tuning issues with mefi initially, switched everything out, and played around with water pressure.

Bad ass motors. I just think the thread starter meant- there was so much hype early, and then there hasn't been really anything written about them since.

Two more Skaters nearing completion with Goodwins.

One of the boats was slowed during the build by the overall custom job, not by the motors per se.

I find this post very interesting and I wish you'd elaborate.......

Correct me if I'm wrong but don't you own Predator 2? Arguably one of the baddest Skaters around.....
