Want to go fast, Buy Sterling. :party-smiley-004:

Want to float around with your engine hatches open and twice as lite in the wallet.... well, you know.

yes it sold but still has Goodwins in it. There is another 388 that was just finishing up at Skater that has them as well.

So is he having another Skater built?

Lots of conjecture and flat out wrong information in this thread. Actually sorta humorous.

I have heard horror stories too. Have also heard stories about loaner engines being ran around the country because the engines in the boats were blowing up and the company didn't want to get a bad rep or any of that info getting out in general.

for us who don,t know what [blowing up]means can you explain,are they exploding like a bomb?blowing up is a generalized statement.what exactly is happening to the engines?burnt pistons,spinning bearings,blowing head gaskets.it would be nice to hear facts instead of rumor.

Maybe blowing up is the wrong word, I'll be more political, make my statement general and change it to "having tons of issues."
