That boat is amazing! It was widened 1' after it was pulled from the mold and is the only 388 ever built that wide to my knowledge. It ran awesome with the 1100s in it, I can only imagine how fast it is (180+) after Mark worked his magic on the motors to bring them to 1350 specs. It looks like a completely different boat now! The Branton's always have the baddest of the bad Skaters!

Paint and interior are just over the top on an already amazing boat. Top build IMO
