Does anyone have any photos of this Fountain/Mercury backed 36 Skater from the late '90s? I ran a few races in this boat with the current owner, Rod Karnofel, in the late 2000s as Honker Cut Marine, and I'm looking at purchasing it and putting it back to it's original look when it was first racing the Modified class.

My Dads business partner had that boat built. I was a young lad and went to the skater factory with them to take delivery of it. It was one of, if not the lightest 36 skater built at the time. He raced a few GLOPRA great lakes races, then raced the US offshore race in New Jersey with the boat named "lethal injection" M-96. He sold it after that season, and the boat became "Defender Racing" Then was sold and became fountain mercury. If anyone has any pics of as Lethal Injection I would personally love to see it. I think I have a few of it as defender I will look around and see.
