Going to MTI won't do it, because what he really wants is a Skater. :eek:

Haha someone had to stir the pot right?! Skater’s are awesome though and what a name they have built. Look amazing too. My one gripe with them, their interiors, they are very meh imo versus some of the other brands out there. Their interiors come off very dated looking and behind on times in regard to design, layout and materials used. Other than a few that I’ve seen.

At the same time in saying that, the Rockette Skater is if not my favorite, one of my top 3 favorite boats of all time.

Easy to replace the interior.

I got to say that is one thing I like about the Mystic, something different and uses the room you gain with OB's.

Yea that’s what anyone wants to do, buy a new $500k+ boat and completely redo the interior 🤦🏻‍♂️

I agree with OP that most skater cockpits are a bit dated. But that’s made up for in other ways

I suspect (and I could be off base) that some of the Skater clients pay for the quality and performance of the product and don't give as much of a hoot about interior bling. It would be low on my list if I was fortunate enough to be in that category of buyers.

Anyone know what brand has the biggest body count?

I bought the Nortech partly because their claim to fame is not a single one has ever flipped.
A Playboy bunny and her friend used to drive Monsoon to 170mph (at 2:00...the guy in the back is just a phtographer) so I feel like I should do okay :drink:


First time Eddie Youngs wife drove a cat she drove a 3600 Nortech to 150mph. :flag:


I don`t know who is driving the black 3600 but he needs a wheel barrel for his balls at :50 and at the end
.. wow that`s some air at 152mph .
