I agree. In fact, it's my favorite Skater built in recent years.

wish the ROS woulda been made street... but if all things are equal sounded like more a problem of rigging and mid than actual engines so personally i say they gave up to soon..

ROS and 400R use the exact same powerhead. So why were the ROS motors problematic? Oh, it IS a beautiful boat!
