FASTEST Pleasure Skater??
 

What is currently the world's fastest pleasure boat Skater?? Is it the "Jett" twin turbo boat from New Jersey?? Any pics or more info. on this boat? What is its top speed?

I know it used to be the "Nauti-Marine" 36' that is also now here in NJ. This boat (ex-NM) is presently for sale in the OSO classifieds with lesser power than it once had in its hayday...still awesome however! Does anyone know what issue of Powerboat magazine this boat was featured in? (Circa 1998?) I used to have it and would like to get another copy of the magazine...or the Skater article at the very least.
Please let me know. THANKS for the help.

If you are talking about the Jet Set boat from NJ it has twin GE T58 turbine power. I believe speed is well over 190mph. And it runs every weekend!

the fastest official pleasure boat is still dave's old 36, there may be faster boats but they haven't run an official kilo to prove it....

dave went 180.233 one way and 176.162 average....

Re: FASTEST Pleasure Skater??
 

JET SET is the fastest i know of. Kilo or not has been radar'd in xs of 190 on numerous occasions and is a daily use boat.

then extreme xhibit is up there, he has a couple of 190+ gps runs now...

i was just saying officially timed records, daves 36 is still the fastest... you get into radar and gps runs and you open up a whole can of worms...

Re: FASTEST Pleasure Skater??
 

I believe it is the "Jet Set" boat I am thinking about...especially if it is based in/around Bricktown, NJ on the Metedeconk River. IS it? Where can I find more pics and other info. on this boat? How long is it? Any weblinks? Is this the same boat that is usually at the New York City Poker Runs?

Does anyone know what issue of Powerboat the "NAUTI-MARINE" Skater 36 is featured in? (The late '90s or early 2000's?)

Re: FASTEST Pleasure Skater??
 

Yes that is the same JET SET. Got fresh paint last year and looks amazing. I believe its a 40 but not 100% certain.

Re: FASTEST Pleasure Skater??
 

I just found a pic of it (old paint I guess...red, white and blue) on the www.njppc.com website under the members gallery. States there that it is a 40 footer. I knew I saw it someplace before!

I'll see if I can find out the issue your looking for. I have the current owner of the x- nauti marine boat's other cat in my shop now for work. He's also a personal friend and, i think, a member of OSO. I'm surprised he hasn't responded. I'll talk to him tomorrow and find out o have him post the info.

And yes it is in NJ not far from Jetset.
