Looks great!

Thanks everyone, it's been a dream of mine to own a Skater since I saw my 1st 24 at the Dallas boat show in 1988.... It only took 32 years to achieve, LOL

I hear ya dude, BUT the 1st thing I have to do is change all the fluids, and then, whenever I buy a used boat, I start at the front of the engine work all my way back to the prop shaft and tighten/inspect every nut/bolt/hoes clamp... It'll be a couple of weeks before she's ready to hit the water.... For an in the water pic, this will have to do for a couple of weeks... Work gets in the way of all my fun! https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...0e0668daa3.jpg Dean |
And I've got to change out the raw water pump impellers also

Morning folks,
Went and surveyed the new to us, 2000 32B this past weekend, and I'm headed back this weekend, to drag it back to Fl. At a beam of 9' 4" , it's slightly over width, do you think DOT will notice or hassle me. Boat is in WI. Thanks, Dean |
No problem
Towed a 36 Skater from ATL. to LOTO many times with no issues! Florida will be the easiest part of the trip.
