Default A VERY special thank you to Peter, Chris and Eric @ Skater!

Yesterday I spent the day with Peter, Chris and Eric at Skater. They each spent time with me explaining various parts of the design, construction and lay up process. EVERYONE at the shop was beyond friendly! EVERYONE!

They even said, "feel free to wander around at your leisure for as long as you would like"! It was awesome. Saw some amazing boats. The new 30 is KILLER! I hope that Merc comes out with the new HP 4 STROKER! Rumored to be a 4 stroker, 4 cylinder, with the boost bumped up to make serious power and be relatively light.

I would like to go there someday to check out the factory. I met Peter out here in Califonia and have talked to him on the phone several times. He has always been helpful and is one of the nicest guys I have met in the boating industry.

A fact few remember, Peter is a good narrator too - Back in the late 80s - Peter narratied several films for me - he was articulate and more than fair when talking about other builders - a gentlemen indeed - Ask T3x for a video - Saugatuck or Grand Haven Michigan - there are several that he narrated - You wont be disappointed ! Peter helped me make NNRT become a world wide production company - I too thank you Peter !

You obviously did not speak to your wife about the "NFL Experience". So busy they did not even get in. I on the other hand, met Peter, toured the factory, and saw my new boat.

Now tell me...what is not SUPER about going to Skater?
