I have an electric robotic mower that works great. Got rid of a crummy old zero-turn rider with a 20 hp Kohler Magnum and never looked back.

Electric power is not there yet for leaf blowers and powerboats.

Weed eaters and cars are a different story.

It does look fantastic running on the water. I didn't get the paint job at all when looking at photos of boat on trailer.

Then again, a good Gun with #6 drives is a rare gem in any case.

Dale knows his STVs (and Skaters). He was not referring to the design of the hull, but the driving experience.

(Peter Hledin knows Dale's STV too, but that is a story for another day)

They run well in the rough with 300XS two-strokes that weigh 229 kg.

15 inch 300R four-strokes weigh 247 kg + some motor oil.

Not a big difference.

My 28 was originally rigged with 300X, but they stayed in Florida when the boat went to Norway.

I wish they were still on the transom when I bought the boat.

You'd be surprised by how big v-bottom inboard hulls you can run with in a 28 Skater.

Every powerboater should own at least one.

450R resale price

Yeah, the 450R is quite a bargain now.

A friend picked up 1 new and 2 used earlier this week, and I was surprised by how cheap they were.

Great news for many people - it is a fantastic engine.

There is still COVID liquidity floating around. The Fed increased the value of dollars in circulation by a quarter in a single year. That’s the most important factor.

Had an offshore sportmaster (straight skeg) on a 2.5 260 on the Hydrolift Sportcat for a while. Hated it and bought a fishing Sportmaster with cambered skeg.

My 28 Skater was CE certified when imported to Norway.

It came with some CE booklet. It explained which side of the boat was supposed to be up and stuff. I can check who issued it.

It turns out it has something to do with sports. And I am not sure what.
