Default Dirty Duck Skater

First, congrats! Wow was it a cool run to see!

Correct me if I am wrong, but isn’t that the first time a Skater has hit the 200mph mark at the shootout?

I believe so. It is a very pristine boat up close too. Slug takes a lot of pride in his toys.

Thanks for the response, what a big day not only for those guys and that team, but for all Skater in general. I am very happy for them all!

That boat was gorgeous in person! I was lucky enough to be in my boat floating around next to the dock as they pulled in after making their big run yesterday. My goodness did those turbos sound so good. It was not a typical race boat, it was surely pristine looking!

I think it is the first time anything other than a Mystic ran over 200 in the shootout.

No kidding, I had not thought about that either. In one way that’s clearly impressive by Mystic as well. Another great shootout!

I’m pretty sure it was the 1st time 2 boats ran over 200

Agreed, I was hoping he would see this thread and write an article about it. Would be a great article with all of what happened that we just discussed.
