From a 28-foot pleasure cat to a 46-foot raceboat, Skater Powerboats is hopping, https://speedonthewater.com/skater-b...nge-of-builds/

Nice little preview of what I'll see when I'm back there Monday.

You'll get to see all that and the stuff Tony Cutsuries wasn't ready to talk about.

In the one picture, do they still use wood in their construction?

For sure Matt! There's nothing there that I don't already know about, but it'll be cool to see everything.

Yes, Skater builds their boats with a mix of coring materials - which includes balsa and marine plywood (transoms). That's why Skaters hold up so much better to accidents than all the others. I've heard it said from almost every guy in the industry that the crew in the Freedom One 388 that went over at 200+ mph were lucky they were in a Skater.

Shoot i should go for a drive and meet up for lunch with you guys!

You definitely should Jon! Chris Mills is planning on coming down Monday for lunch too. Sorry for the thread hi-jack Matt!

Id like to see morer of that little 26 they are working on.

No jack whatsoever. I post here to promote SOTW content, of course, but the discussions that follow are what matter on any message. Have fun, Dale.
