Brad Do you remember the poker run to Key West I met you on? That was a more comfortable ride in the Playboy than the skater. If all I did was florida poker runs I would probably go back to a cat and take the minor chance of cabbing from sunshine key on a bad day. Most of these poker runs are run inside and the cat rules. Even outside is only iffy near Miami and Key West. The great lakes are just a different animal. The skater was great Brad and you get a hell of a rush. 90 feels like 150. NK

I don't think a 32 skater can even be compared to a Nor-tech in size. If you want to compare a 40 that would be different.

Re: opinions needed: going to a cat maybe

Gatorone you are very correct. The 32 is much smaller but Brad was asking me about my boat and dreamer was asking about a 36 and Gardner has a 36. Seems to me a 36 skater and a 36 nortech are similar in length. I've been in a 36 and a 46 on lake mich when it was rough and it was not pleasant. Just giving my opinion. NK
