Philip is a great guy and he knows me. I have a 32 Skater qtr canopy with Arneson and 572s. My buddy Joe and I run around the bay quite a bit. He has the 36 Nortech with 1200s. I used to run my 30 Spectre with Philip when he had the 32. That is a clean nice boat.

I was told by the previous owner he has seen 108 with no modifications. He mentioned at 90 the boat rides like a dream all day.


I will run this summer with the current power then decide if it makes scence to strap on a third (many seem dead set against it) or transfer to I/O's.

It is awesome to have a boat that allows for so many options !!

Someone asked, my last boat was a Cigg Cafe Racer with blown 502's with trs drives.

The difference between this Skater (from the little I have seen from her) and the Ciggerette are Stagering !!

Would love to hear anyonesand everyones opinion about Triple 300X's on the 32.

Thanks for any info in advance !!

KennyP whats up?
 
Hey KenP what’s up? How is everything? Hope you have a great holiday.

Patrick, Kenny's mom makes the best cookies in all of NJ, and she is the world’s best hostess, Choc. Chips. Otto got 108 out of the boat? Wow, that is pretty fast! I never saw that much, but we ran around with enough fuel to go from Brick to AC and back, 4 people and gear. 32' Skaters make 4 footers feel like 2's,, Watch out for KenP, his rooster tails from the ASD drives will get you. Pack those Sandwich's in water tight Baggies.
Good luck with Boat!:D

I Love cookies !! Does KenP = Pro1 ??

Otto did mention he got 104 in the chop and 108 in perfect conditions.
The Skater websights figures were very close so I figured it to be correct, but nobody would know like you my friend !!!
What would you say is accurate ? No matter what it is blazes faster then I am used to !!

Mental note to p/u zip lock baggies and rain gear before running in the bay. I am filling a notebook full with advice and tips from Phillip, I am very fortunate I had the oppurtunity to meet you.

Patrick,
 
Yes KenP = Pro1 Kenny's old screen name was KenP,,,, his mom is the best, she goes so out of her way to make Kenny's friends feel at home, One day we stopped at Kenny's house for a few minutes, his mother starts cooking up breakfast sausage, (it was Sunday Morning) after all the sausage was gone she turned on the oven and the cookies started to appear. If you ever get a chance, stop by Kenny's house,, his boat is immaculate, and the trailer is a work of art. Kenny built the trailer himself.:D

You can expect a lot of drive issues with the center motor if you convert to a triple setup. There was a 32 on our river with trip 300x motors, every problem he had was with the center motor or drive. It takes a ton of abuse in the middle of the tunnel. It should add about 10-12 mph to your top speed.

Thanks Philip for all the kind words. Philip and Kim are great people and I hope we seem them the upcoming summer. My boy has been burnt out with the weekend traffic. Peter Hledin and Philip go way back. I found out Philip bought one of the first boats Pete ever built. He was sketching it out on his kitchen table and nervous if he would make money on the deal. Pretty Funny.

Philip is a boater in the true sense of the word! My mother loves to cook. She still mixes it up in the kitchen. We should all get together for a beer one night.
