Skater Powerboats Going ‘Full Bore’ On 588 Catamaran Hull Mold And More

Yes, I've talked to Pete about it, the plan is for twins - unless a customer wants quads. Twin 1350s will run 170+ in a 46, so even though the 58 will definitely not be as fast, it should still be plenty fast with a pair of1350/1550s. This cat is going to dwarf all other existing performance cats, the intended goal is definitely not crazy top end numbers - they've already got the 438 for that (180+ w/ 1350s).

A 46' next to a 36' Skater looks like an aircraft carrier so this this would leave most awestruck... a 58' cat running north of 130/140 may not have the same sensation of speed inside, but outside it would be unreal.
Interesting to push the size though as there were not a lot of 55 MTI's built (same niche market IMHO)

I've been fortunate enough to see the progress of this project for awhile now, and every time I see it I still have a hard time grasping the size! I have no doubt it will perform very well!

Skater and MTI got a strangle hold on the .1% market. Almost a 60 footer, this is going to be a monster, I’m looking forward to seeing it. Even 18” diameter props and big drives will look like RC boat drives

this would fit perfect in the CC market
