There are actually four 368 outboard Skaters - this first one, the second red/white one that Chad mentioned, the all white one out west that was originally built for inboards, then sent out to Eliminator as a bare hull and rigged with 400Rs, and a fourth that is going to get a pair of the new 450Rs on it.

Is the inboard to outboard 368 the one that was initially being set up with 700s?

To my knowledge, there were never engines for it. The original buyer backed out after it was built for inboards, but never even had motors at Skater for it. The subsequent buyer bought it bare and had it sent to Eliminator for rigging with the 400Rs. There is a new 368 being built right now that is getting 700s in it though. Skater is VERY busy building big inboard boats right now.
