The next 388 Skater with Goodwin Competition engines is expected to hit the water this summer. Here's the first story on the boat being built by longtime performance boater Dave Branton with guidance from fellow poker run enthusiast Bill Pyburn.

A 388 with massive non-Merc power and a Huntress.


Color me jealous

Good article. Thx Jason

.

will Arnesons be used or M8?


Proly Arnesons since the M8 has a max of 1650HP ?


.

Don't matter, it will be M8s. Predator is running 2k HP through 6s

I don't get all the hate towards Merc. 600 hours 12 years and happy here!!!

Has there been a turbo motor that's gone 600 hours without being opened up?

I hate the sound plain and simple. Boring and flat and I don't care to just hear turbo's whistle at high speed.

I don't hate merc but if I had the money and a choice I rather not use them and go with a great builder instead.

Even the guys in the video say "quiet". No soul in that at all, sorry.

yes I know this is his old boat/set up but there is only a few short clips of his new one and it sounds just as good.
