Re: hey skater experts
 

The CG - each boat is a little different - Pete is the best one to get you in the ball park based on year, style and length - If your fuel tanks are centrally located the amount of fuel in the tank will not vari the CG much - quick answer is where are your fuel tanks - body style makes a difference enclosed vs open cockpit - No one owns a skater to go slow - it is imporant on an open cockpit boat to understand if you are getting lift as the air comes over the cockpit - the faster you go the more the factor - like an aircraft wing lift comes from above - the faster laminer air over the top creates lift - you may of may not have lift @ 100 and may not have it @ 150 if you have a lot of turbulence - the lift or lack of it can shift your dynamic cg - so you have a couple of factors to consider - a simple hg or WC guage can get you some of these answers for less that 50 bucks

Jmes- Showtime has a ballast tank right?

Carbona Boat
 

If anyone is interested everything quoted about the boat "carbona" is accurate. I am th eoriginal owner and Pete built the boat for me. The art of design did the paint scheme and he was given the freedom to come up with a different idea from, the then stripes. I loved it. And yellow was the color of all 3 skaters I had , plus 5 Ferrari's..Peter got as close to that color as he could and I approved the pantone. We put the bigest motors Merc had at the time...And for a short time it was the fastest package around. I personally went 147MPH in it. It was a weekender and I was spending more time in FLorida then Dallas, so it sat, in storage, motors fogged every 6 months, for like 2 years..So I sold it..
I still miss that boat and would have boaught it back had I known it was for sale...Who ended up buying it???

PS I have a bunch of photos of it being built and running in poker runs....

I just looked at all the photos..It looked pristine....So sorry it was given away..looks like th eguy got a GREAT deal....Sorry you had problems with the canopies, glad Peter sent you new ones..I also see you put some tabs on and took off the rain drops...? Was it easy, did you just wet sand it off?
