Seeing that your #1 priority is ocean ride/comfort in chop, hands down, there's not any other cat in that size range that will compare to a Skater 28. Don't let Joe scare you off about the wood...

Leah Martin seems to be the problem from what I'm hearing Joe. She recently terminated the guy that set up the entire new schedule (rules, purses, fees, schedule, TV coverage, etc.) for the 2026 IHRA...

Every month or so it blows my mind to see another new manufacturer enter the 30' and up outboard cat market. There can't possibly be enough buyers to profitably sustain them all. There must be 30+...

I doubt they were able to secure any dock space for Supercat Fest week Tank, especially with PBC having such a lock on that lake.

No, they do not. To be honest, I wouldn't want leg straps such as the Lifelines have just due to the inconvenience of taking them on/off and the discomfort factor. I'll take the slim chance that the...

Glad to hear that Tank! I figure if the USCG and Navy put their trust in the brand, I should too. They're obviously not as good in the event of a high-speed accident as Lifelines, but they're WAY...

I think you may have my boat confused with another 36. Mine is hull #75 and was originally built as a "kit boat" for Bob Teague. It even made it all the way out to California before it was sent back,...

You or anyone else have never had an issue in the back seat of the 36, have you Rob? No doubt that the style seats in the 30 needed them, and they worked great, but the wrap-over-sides style of the...

The only modern cat that could possibly break 140 with stock 450/500Rs is a 32DW/PB320 (not including Warren Duke's 28 Skater). One of my buddies has a late model 32DW/450R rig and he said he feels...
