Fantasic News!

Skater Fest is awesome. I was hoping that it would return on the Detroit River after it didn't happen last year. Ron has made a lot of people very happy with bring back Skater Fest again. It is also great for all the fans who don't have a Skater or boat to see all these beautiful Skater Powerboats roaring by them on the Detroit River in both Countries, United States and Canada and two great Cities Detroit and Windsor. Thank you to Ron Szolack and all the participants for bringing Skater Fest back again for 2018, I can't wait. Thanks Matt for the great article and pictures. Andy

Is there a noticeable difference in speed between running it as a guest/potential buyer and running it as an owner?
My hypotheses is Mad Props will be faster this year. Because, lower weight and aerodynamic drag of your wallet and checkbook. Lol

Of course, it got 2 gals a mile(93) them and more like 1.6 mpg(89) now so the fuel will be a lot less.

I am excited to see Rons new ride. My main gripe (if you want to call it that) with Skater is the cockpit size, always liked the size and layout of MTI so this 8 person boat is intriguing.
