Default 368 Skater build

Hey Gents, I stated in a previous thread I was going to check out my 368 build last week. Mission accomplished. Couple members mentioned maybe a build thread...Here we go!



Hull is essentially ready to pull from mold. They want to install floor, which will be done this week. They are just finishing up laminating the baffles in the fuel tanks (140 per side)



These pictures give you an idea of just how big a 368 is.



close up of bulkhead material. foam core/balsa sandwiched between carbon fiber.


engine bay.



Looking at the materials used and build process, you begin to understand what makes a Skater

Will update as I get progress pictures from Tony.

Wife and I made a TON of decisions. Spent quite a lot of time with the painter. Met with the interior guy, decided on seat shells, dash layout, stereo choice, Deck hatch size and placement, engine hatches and scoop style. Deck cleat/style quantity and placement, bustle design and made final decision on profile. We decided on a low-profile cut. which is pictured.


this is an outboard boat.
