I have never used my tabs.

Notched boats have drive lines (drive shafts)

My 40 is notched.

Non notched the power can set back farther in the boat.

Smaller the boat less room in the engine compartment.

CG is everything

My 40 planes effortlessly at 1900 RPM, 25 mph

5 blades greatly reduce the harmonic vibration in relationship 4 blades.

Bill, got the bug after this past weekend?

YOU BET !!!

What is the story on this boat?

New lowers
New canopies
Re-painted
New hardware

Seems like a lot of new stuff for a 1999 boat with only 79 hours. From the pictures, it does look perfect, and seems like it is priced for a quick sale, but it all depends on the boats history.

Balance/CG is everything - take time to know what you are buying and before you get it wet check the CG - depending on how you are going to use the boat an aft cg can be fast until it trips up - then you have to get the check book and bandages out - spend the time/money now to balance the boat -

color and motors probably downfall, smaller motors mean smaller insurance bill , i would be interested without motors.

I don't think so

Just where should the C/G be ?Look at the above thread by CAFE on history of 36.The way that 36 is sitting on the lift truck,looks like the C/G is way back !thanks

Boat Came From Lake Texoma Bought It From The Orignal Owner John Carbona Only 29 Hrs At The Time.The Boat Had Clouds For A Paint Design Ugly Thats Why It Was Painted And The Canopys Were Starting To Turn Colors And Wouldnot Polish Out Anymore So peter At Skater Sent New Ones Out To Us We Freshened Up The Motors And Updated The Drives With New Hering Lowers Vinny From The BAD Skater nows The Boat And So Does Jeff Cropper From JC Perf. Call Peter At Skater He Will Verifie That ..Boat Never Had Any Problems At All Heres What It Used To look Like

I thought that it might have been the Carbona boat.

It is going to make someone a really nice boat, you have done lots of recent upgrades and maintenance. The ability to verify that the boat has a good history always helps. Hope it works out for the seller and future buyer.
