Default Skater Adding Outboard Power Options For 40-Foot-And-Larger Cats

With outboard power now being offered for its biggest catamarans, Skater Powerboats has come full circle, https://speedonthewater.com/new-boat...nd-larger-cats.

And thanks for the copy editing help. Mr Lane.

T.Y... I enjoy reading everything that comes from SOTW. Great Job as always

A 120+ mph 46 pushed by Verado's would be a sight.. Any orders or has peter just prepped the tooling?

No confirmed orders I'm aware (or Pete mentioned) but the news is pretty new. Thanks for the kinds words. (And next time I put a story URL in the title box, call to shout at me, 650-642-4726.)

I no the fishing guy's are putting quads on there 40 foot cat's and seeing speed's in the 70's and 80's so I would think there would be no problem getting a skater to hit the 120 range , those fishing cats are HEAVY

And they don't really pack air. They are cats for stability more than speed.

A baby pod
I would think a quad boat would just be a better handling boat then being thrown off with an on even amount of motors
