What size Skater is this?????
 

Found these pics on the TAOD website and was just curious about this boat. Anyone know if this is the 30' Skater or is it the 32' by Skater???

Re: What size Skater is this?????
 

UHHH I think it's like a 36 or a 40.

The beam on that is way bigger than a 30 or 32.

Just does not look like it is long enough to be a 36 or 40. I did hear they were going to build a 32' wide-body and wondered if this was it.

Thank You very much Rik

No. It was an ASD 6 with a drop box and a very unusual looking shaft. :drink:

Rik is that the boat you were having built??

Re: What size Skater is this?????
 

That particular 32' was built at the beggining of the year, notice the snow on the paint job.

It belongs to Al Burns son and they ran this boat at LOTO shoot out.

Hey Kaama, I heard girls prefer width over length...nothing wrong with being hung like a tuna can.

Awesome boat though. Hope it fit in the slip when they got it home. Kind of like when I built that airplane in the basement. You only do that 3 times before you catch on.

Re: What size Skater is this?????
 

It looks awesome!!! But the front is so low slung that it looks like it could stuff pretty easy....... It's probably just how the pictures look.........

Re: What size Skater is this?????
 

I really like that boat as well...I'm curious, does anyone have any more information on it like motors, power, speed etc.

Rik,
Are you the guy in Nor. Cal that is building the new 30' with Arnesons? If so, how is that coming along?

Thanks
Chris

I saw that one run at the shootout and i don't think it would have a problem stuffing.. i think it looks lower than it is, maybe the paint job? if i remember correctly he was in the 120-130 range? andybody know for sure?

Re: What size Skater is this?????
 

Boat has 680in, single 4 barrel on a sheet metal intake. We ran 140 testing at LOTO and are current working some new props. Like this one only purple.

sweet..... :D :evilb: :D

Who did the motors Nitro???? Do you have any pics of the boat yourself???

Re: What size Skater is this?????
 

The valve covers say Duttweiler$$$. Like Ken says he never builds the same style mortors twice.Doesent have to.

Now if he built one of his Turbo motors with big cubic inch and could get some headers to work.I bet he could build some with 1500-1800hp on pump gas and on race gas 2700-3300hp.

Moran is allready at 3000hp on his Camaro drag car.Duttweiler
is close to him now.


Congrats :D Nice looking boat. Looks alittle thick in the mid section to me.
