Re: New 30 Testing In Florida
 

Did u trade the Outerlimits for a 36 Skater?

I had the 30 Spectre when u were in NJ.

Re: New 30 Testing In Florida
 

I remember your 30 Spectre, very nice package.

Burce Bullock (Buloock Marine, TX) has taken care of me since I connected with him and Skater in fall of 2001. He sold my OuterLimts and we have done 2 previous Skaters together, 36 SSM#6, boats. He is absolutely the best.

Peter Hledin of Skater, and his team, have treated me wonderfully.

The current project is a 30 Skater, T/300sx. When I am out at Skater in Jan, I will take a bunch of pictures, and share them.

I have a 32 Skater now.

Re: New 30 Testing In Florida
 

Without putting words in your mouth, I am sure that you think it is the most awesome boat you have ever owned. You are a Skater owner now, that puts you at the top of the boating food chain. Tell me all about it. Who you bought it from, new/used, year, model (32/32B), canopy/open, engines, drives, ratio, props, speed/rpm. Post some pics.

Frank lots of luck with the new boat! I agree Peter is a nice guy, and truly talented. I bought the boat new 6 months ago. 32 quater canopy with Arneson ASD 7M, The power is similiar to Dale's 30. 572's, Bam trans, 1090 Barry Grant, 5 inch Stainless marine, 1.32 gear ratio, I have not run the correct propeller yet and I need to cool it on the RPM, The heads are Dart 345's, Dart tall Deck Blocks with splayed steel caps and siamese walls, Oliver Billet rods, Callies Cranks, etc, The lower ends were blue printed and balanced at callies Crank shop. The drive shaft housings are almost complete and ready for coating. Speed is really not important.

yeah thats hot. these 30's look much more substantial than the old 32 classic, is that right? looks like more freeboard etc...

does sound a little pricey but i am sure the package never breaks. i imagine very little downtime on those motors.

How many sterndrive 30s have they built? 2 or 3?

2 I Think Dales And A Ilmor One

Thats what I thought thanks
