Too Old,
No pricing on the listing I found these pics at. Try www.lakecumberlandmarine.com. There was not any pricing listed for this boat but look for a number if you really want the price. Hope this helps.

Re: Redesigned 2005 Skater 24'
Anyone ever run a single outboard on a 24 Skater????? I know they did it on the 21' but never have seen it on the 24'. I would think it would run pretty well.

The 46' that Copeland has was never rigged before he purchased the boat. It was one of the first of the "Cut Down Decks".
The "Ohio Steel" boat was sold to Wil Wingert who has been trying to convert it to Turbines.
Both boats look very similar but they are different. No handling problems with Copelands.
The 24' in the photo's is merely a flat decked 24'. Nothing more/less

Just to use the Bullet as an example.
Seeing it on the trailer everyone says the same thing. "Damn that bow dives down sharply."
But look close at the pics and the boat has the bow level....

There was one at the SOB Awards with I think a 300 X with a shorty midsection on it. Was running in the 80's I believe?
