Dirty Duck Skater
 

First, congrats! Wow was it a cool run to see!

Correct me if I am wrong, but isn’t that the first time a Skater has hit the 200mph mark at the shootout?

I believe so. It is a very pristine boat up close too. Slug takes a lot of pride in his toys.

Thanks for the response, what a big day not only for those guys and that team, but for all Skater in general. I am very happy for them all!

That boat was gorgeous in person! I was lucky enough to be in my boat floating around next to the dock as they pulled in after making their big run yesterday. My goodness did those turbos sound so good. It was not a typical race boat, it was surely pristine looking!

I think it is the first time anything other than a Mystic ran over 200 in the shootout.

No kidding, I had not thought about that either. In one way that’s clearly impressive by Mystic as well. Another great shootout!

Congratz to Slug & the Dirty Duck crew

That was fun to watch !!!

I’m pretty sure it was the 1st time 2 boats ran over 200

if you add the 30 mph all the boats are allowed to hit the starting line with the mystery skater with a standing start 170 put,s them at 200 that pretty darn good, hey matt do a story on these guys its has to be a good story

Agreed, I was hoping he would see this thread and write an article about it. Would be a great article with all of what happened that we just discussed.

I remember riding on a skater called Dirty Duck in 2013 owned by Ray Rosenberg, not sure if this is the same boat. But we hit close to 140mph.

There have been several Dirty Duck Skaters - even a Mystic 50 and Mystic 38 O/B... but nothing ran like the 438 when they pulled the pin on the engine setup to get past 200 - great show.

what about the early 2000's dirty duck boat? same owner carrying the name on different boats? man that boat was nice back then !

not saying these newer boats are not by the way !

slug has been builing dirty ducks for 40 years

This pic looks like it was from his fountain/scism, MTI cat he had back then. As said lots of dirty duck boats.

The run was impressive. Congrats

You are probably right. They were not a lot of cats back then on the Chesapeake Bay.

Turbos and nitrous on Carson Brummet motors right? Any transmissions?
