The 28, 36, 388, and 46 sure look like customer favorites. You may as well try a 388 since you've owned the other three

Don't think I've ever seen a skater 18'. That would be a cool ride to run the Colorado river on!!

The first model Pete built was the 17, then the 18, then the 18S. After the 18S came the game-changing 24, which as everyone knows, put Skater's name solidly into the world of OS racing. The other model not listed is the only V-bottom Pete designed and built the plug and mold for - the Skater 399V. Many of you probably remember the "Spiderman" boat that Todd Welling raced to many race-wins and championship titles. Skater has built several other V-bottoms for other manufacturers using their molds at their request, but the 399V was the only V-bottom that was 100% Pete's own design/build.

The chronological order of Skater models is as follows: 17, 18, 18S, 24, 21, 32A, 40, 46, 28, 36, 32B, 368, 40SS, 399V, 388, 308, 428, 318, 438 and 588
