I've never met a person that has spent time in a 46 Skater in rough water that doesn't say the same thing - it's the best riding cat in big water they've ever been in. The countless national and world titles from all over the world speak for themselves as well - starting back in 1993 when JAWS first hit the racecourse in Europe. Again, I'm not taking anything away from MTI, they build an incredible boat that has won its fair share of titles as well, but when the water gets big, the big Skaters are what I want to be in.
