Re: 32 Skater Outboard Speed?

Is there a website ? Curtis |

Alex Hledin, ( Pete from Skaters brother ) PTR is the company, Performance Through Research.
Make BIG power, don't last all that long.Big money to do. But if you want to fly they will pump a 300X. |
Re: 32 Skater Outboard Speed?
Just buy a 32 and put 2.5's on her. Don't worry about the speed issue. A 100 plus is moving in a 32 cat.

Re: 32 Skater Outboard Speed?
If you own a Skater and your running 100mph not to offend anyone but your parked. If you own a Skater I think you should be able to back it up.

Re: 32 Skater Outboard Speed?

Your talking about a cat w/OB's the speeds these guys are telling you is as fast as its gonna go. If you want that 120+ rock a Skater w/IO's and big ponies and be prepared for that bill $$ when either one goes or its time for maintenance but if you got the cash, hell why not. If you want reliability go with the X's and if you want a little more juice send them out to have work done. Cooking along a 100+ all day long sounds like a fun day of boating to me. :D |
Re: 32 Skater Outboard Speed?
Ryan but thats just 200's thats understandable now if you have a 32 Skater with twin 300x's a 30 Motion will problably right next to you. And then the guy in the Motion will most likely start talking sh*t about you spending big $ on the Skater. Catch my drift I agree I/O cost big $ to power.

Re: 32 Skater Outboard Speed?
A 28 Skater will eat a 30 Motion, 30 Spectre, 30 AMT for lunch all things equal, the only place those boats will excel will be in big water. On the river or anything under 2-3 footers there is no way those boats will hang with a 28. A 32 Skater will be close in top speed (actually I believe it might be slower in calm water) in rough water 32 hands down. A 32 with 300x's should run 102-105. A 30 spectre with 300x's should run 105-108, a friend of mine went 112 in a 30 spectre (I still beat him with 300 promax's).
