Heres Dans rig from last Summer on Grand Lake. Brutal.

What? Did Too Old own this boat? ;)

Re: 36' Skater with Sterling 1000's..
 

It depends on what you want to do with the boat. If I had the money, I would buy a cat over a V-bottom. I'm with xxxtreme171 though, I would want a cabin no matter what.

Re: 36' Skater with Sterling 1000's..
 

Hmm, big speed and a cabin? I wonder who builds something like that? OK, guess I'll have to plug this myself.
Just ran the first 36 Nor-Tech w/Merc 1075's yesterday. Out of the box 150 on the rev limiters.

That's what I'm talking about!

Re: 36' Skater with Sterling 1000's..
 

Baja Daddy,
If you're still looking for a nice cat I also have one on Bullocks site. It's a 36 Spectre w / 1000's. Its got a cabin and a windshield. Might be more in your price range. Either call Bruce or email me if your interested.

This boat is impressive and will definitely do 140+. We ran with Dan at the Texoma Poker Run last year and it looks great at about 120+ but then we fell behind.

Re: 36' Skater with Sterling 1000's..
 

I also saw it at grand lake last year, it is beautiful and hauls serious ass. Someday for me....

Re: 36' Skater with Sterling 1000's..
 

I can't believe this post is back on top after a year:eek: We ended up getting another V-bottom for ride quality. I sold it a few weeks ago because I still had a desire for a cat and would love a Skater. I still like the 36' at Bullocks but I am quite shocked that the boat is still available. Any ideas as to why?

Re: 36' Skater with Sterling 1000's..
 

I think the real reason why it has not sold is that the owner wasn't really anxious to get rid of it. It doesn't seem that he is like most everyone else who needs to get rid of their existing boat before moving on to the next. Also the market is very soft and has been getting softer since early last year. Oh, one other thing, I don't think the hikes in insurance for cats has helped. This boat is pristine though!

Re: 36' Skater with Sterling 1000's..
 

How much difference in insurance for Cat from a Vee? I was told alot depends on the area you boat in:confused:

Re: 36' Skater with Sterling 1000's..
 

Who needs canopy's on a 36 pleasure Skater? These wind flaps ended up in this position at the speed indicated. And you get a cabin too!

Re: 36' Skater with Sterling 1000's..
 

like you've been hearing so far... if you can afford it, go with the skater... if your budget is more like mine, i'd go with the eliminator. they haven't been doing it for long, but they have built boats vacuum bagged w/ epoxy resin/karbon fiber/kevlar which is pretty close to how a skater is built, which makes them very light yet very strong and capable of very high speeds for a fraction of the cost of a skater... and they do have the nice cabin...

Re: 36' Skater with Sterling 1000's..
 

My 36' Spectre is going to go up for sale next week.Take a look at my Avatar..That is my boat. It is georgeous and it runs 128-130mph with KE 675s.

Re: 36' Skater with Sterling 1000's..
 

With Regard to the "Pam Anderson" Skater. Dan and Jan just moved in a Condo at LOTO. Summer Place at the 35mm. I had the only cat on the dock for 2+ years, until he just moved in. I have met him once, and he seems like a really cool guy, and the boat is absolutely beautiful in person. I have a awesome view of it from my deck!!

Next time I see him I will offer him some $$ for gas and help him clean it up, for a ride, and hopefully find out what 150mph feels like.

Re: 36' Skater with Sterling 1000's..
 

Baja Daddy,

I currently have a 36' Skater w/1/4 canopies, 525EFI's and #6 Drives, dialed in and ready to go 115 mph on the GPS. No problems with insurance because of the HP.

Send me an e-mail at [email protected] if interested.

Re: 36' Skater with Sterling 1000's..
 

I still like the 36 spectre twin 440hp yanmars 100mph ALL DAY LONG 12-14 gals per hour total fuel use. 2000 hour warranty $1.38 per gallon. And the insurance company asks "are you sure its a diesel ? "" oh yea what a feeling when your running about 55 and shift it into 2nd gear.....

Re: 36' Skater with Sterling 1000's..
 

oh yea only down fall...... NO NOISE

Re: 36' Skater with Sterling 1000's..
 

What do the yanmars sound like, could you record it and post it here.

Thanks,

CM

That Pammy boat belongs to Kevin Sellers from Indiana.

Here are some pictures from the Chicago Poker Run.
