Pics of rear transom , added and extra 1.5 inches . Also back in the day Skater never finished of motor well and looked like **** , I made a mold and splashed a part with Vinylester resin also wanted a custom console much different from other 32 so I made a mold . I also made a rear cabin area ( stabbin cabin )

Thanks , it was a ton of work but still cheaper than buying a new boat and then factor in deprecation . Some of the glass work was done @ friends shop Nuwave Marine in Deptford NJ . Nuwave has sponsored me in the past when I raced with OPA and this past weekend the Bad Boy 32 Nuwave Marine came in third

Did you race this boat back in the day if so what was the name of it? Have you heard of an old 32 Skater called "Low Bid"?
