Skater with 4 engines
 
Can someone please help me out here: There was a Skater 40 back in the '90s or early 2000s that had 4 engines. For the life of me, I can't remember its name ... but it was the fastest race boat on the planet at the time. If you rembmer, can you post some pics of that boat? :)

Bob Morgan's "Bad Moon Risin" is the only quad that jumps out at the moment....RIP BM and JTT.

I think it had " something Nauti something" in the Title.

The boat was "NuffRespect" built by Bobby Moore.

The Boat started out as NUFFRESPECT and later became Big Thunder Marine and it was BAD ASS / RIP Bob and JT

Bob's 43' Skater with the wide tunnel was also campaigned under Big Thunder Marine was a twin - that is the boat that went through the sales auction with the property after the accident in KW.

Did Dave Scott/ Nauti Marine ever have a Quad boat?

For the longest time there was a skater in the Classifieds here that was in rough shape. It had two motors but looked like it was originally rigged for 4.....

Ignore me. Just realized you were looking at an old race boat

Spectre Man 11-21-2021 06:33 PM

Thanks, Tension and Hyper! That was the boat!!!

Believe it or not, it was 10 years last week that Bob Morgan and Jeff Tillman flipped at Key West, losing their lives.

because offshore racing is as much about attrition as speed (or at least "back in the day"), If there was an engine problem, Bob could lift 2 and still finish the race under the power of the remaining 2. Not as fast, but still enough to finish the race. I never met Jeff, but Bob Morgan was a hell of a guy.
