I recently viewed the underside of a Skater (inboard powered) and was looking at the sleek design of the water pick-ups. Completely smooth with nothing protruding below the hull. Anyone can tell me the manufacturer of this hull water pick-up?

skater does them in house

They are available at Skater.

The bottom of the boat needs to be modified.
(A groove cut in the bottom). Its easy to do.

The height is adjustable so you can play with water
pressures.

Grants custom rigging sells them in Florida.
They have more of a curve to them.

MTI Uses these, I took the pictures at the Miami 2007 show

I believe the new Skaters are not using that style any longer. Pete is going with a transom mount now (his design). Adding a through hull is major glass work on an existing hull. Transom mounts work fine. There are a number of aftermarket companies for those.

Actualy Jon that is very similar to the way the bottom of the hull looks like after you carve the groove.
Come to think of it that would be easier considering all the contour is done in the metal. You would only have to cut a rectangle to fit it.


Brad,
I am refering to the transom mounts that Peter sells.

Here are the pickups Skater sold me a couple years ago.


I hacked the bottom to fit.

Hey Gerry,

Whaz up???
Maybe Keywest. If I can make the time here.
I got the first round!

Did you guys sell the 50 Nortech turbine?

These are the pick ups on the 46. It will be modified this winter to transom pick ups.

The 40 already has transom pickups.
