New 30 Testing In Florida
 

Was Out In Florida Testing The New 30 With 300xs Outbourds. Unbilevable Boat So Impressed Had To Buy One. This One Had The Standard Deck. The Handls Like A Bigger Boat Night And Day Differance From My 28. The New Motors Run Nice The Fuel Milage Is Unreal. A Plus With Gas Going Up Ocean Outbord In Long Island Has Them For Sale Nice Boat Jim

Re: New 30 Testing In Florida

thanks..

Re: New 30 Testing In Florida

Re: New 30 Testing In Florida
 

Speeds Are Clasified Call Chris Out At Skater Soory Dont Shoot The Messenger Can Tell You This Better Than The Competetion As Usall Pictures Will Be Coming This Week Paul Out At Ocean Outboard Took Some Will Try To Get Them And Post Jim

Re: New 30 Testing In Florida
 

How did you like the new motors ? Didnt you have 2.5's on your skater ? Give us a comparison.

Re: New 30 Testing In Florida
 

No I Have The 300x Not As Stout As Mine But Then Again Its A Bigger Boat. But The Perfomance Trade Off For Fuel Milage I Think Is Going To Be Well Worth It. They Took The Boat Out With A Half Of Tank Of Fuel. Johny T Did 4 High Speed Runs Then He Did Eceleration Test.
Then Bob Teage Did The Same Thing. Then We Took The Boat Out For A Wide Open Blast 2 Way Pass And Burned A 1/4 Tank In All That Testing .just Unreal Please Excuse The Speeling Have Not Figured Out Spell Check Will Do That Soon

Re: New 30 Testing In Florida

Re: New 30 Testing In Florida

Re: New 30 Testing In Florida
 

Great news on the performance, handling and fuel economy. Would not expect anything less from Skater. Can not wait until mine comes, (T/Merc 300 XS), getting close now. Going to MI to check on rigging in next 2 weeks.

Re: New 30 Testing In Florida
 

Yahoo Im Problaly Going With 300xs The Varadoes I Think Are Going To Be To Heavy

Re: New 30 Testing In Florida
 

Loefler, I am going to be in Charlotte for Thanksgiving, is your 30 going to be running?

Re: New 30 Testing In Florida
 

If it's the one that Ocean Outboard rigged, it's this boat...

Re: New 30 Testing In Florida
 

Is it safe to assume that you could get this new 30' with canopies ??

Re: New 30 Testing In Florida

Re: New 30 Testing In Florida

Re: New 30 Testing In Florida
 

It beats the hell out of $240,000 :eek: for the Lake Cumberland 24 Skater :D

Re: New 30 Testing In Florida
 

THIS IS TRUE :eek:

oh

Re: New 30 Testing In Florida
 

Thats Ocean Outboards New Boat Has Some Nice Color In The Interior They Will Be Rigging It Soon I Saw It Out At The Toy Factory Just Before It Left

Re: New 30 Testing In Florida
 

dang that new 30 is one fine mo-fo (some old motown lingo) as im originally from Ann Arbor Mich, i sure wish i could justify that cost, they quoted me $130,000 for a blank, i dont know if they just wanted to get rid of me as i didnt need their rigging..so im buying this 28 and im putting the 300XS'S on it .
i need to sell my ocean express before i can order the motors (the mama put her foot down) but have to drive from florida to PA to get it. if anyone knows someone looking for a nice 33 ft ocean express with new drives and 540's merlins let me know.

Re: New 30 Testing In Florida
 

Does anyone know the weight of the tested boat

Re: New 30 Testing In Florida
 

According to Powerboat magazine, Jan 2007, page 80, the 30 Skater that was tested, was listed with a hull weight of 3,000 lbs.

Re: New 30 Testing In Florida
 

You Can Figure On Around 4300lbs Average On The 30

Re: New 30 Testing In Florida
 

Jim,

Thats about what we figured for the total
3000 hull
1000+ T/300xs
350 addl rigging
-------
4350 or so, dry

I am waiting for a confirmation from Skater, but am presently planing on being at Skater Tue Jan 16.

Re: New 30 Testing In Florida
 

Frank do u own a Skater now?

Re: New 30 Testing In Florida
 

I Don't Know What A 30 Weighs But A New Painted 28 Weighed 2300 Lb. With Only Hull And Interior And Cockpit Cover Installed.

Re: New 30 Testing In Florida
 

No, I am in between performance boats right now. My latest boat, 30 Skater is just about done. going to MI in Jan for final rigging.
