Trip to Skater
 

Just got back from taking my boat to Skater.WOW ! That place is awesome,I have been to a lot of the "major players" factories but Skater is by far the Best.Had lunch with Peter, and Chris took me on a tour of the plant.Both Peter and Chris are Top Notch!They explained every process in detail from the layup through painting ang rigging.It is unbelievable the amount of work that goes into making a Skater.I look forward to a return trip to pick up my boat:D
Anyone who has not made the trip to the factory I "Highly Suggest Going" it is well worth the drive.

It is a cool place to visit!!

thats not what he was saying a few weeks ago , FREE is the magic word :D

Free??????$5,000....A cheap price to pay for the amount of work involved.I saw the process yesterday and am Glad I took it to Skater for the work.:D
Only problem with going to Skater is you will want a Larger Newer Skater:D

Like i told offshoreSTEVE when he called me he'd be very impressed by the shop and if it came from PETERS mouth its good as gold :cool-smiley-027:
ITS A SKATER NATION !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!

Going to Skater is like a kid going to Santas Toy Shop! :cool-smiley-026:

DAAAAAAAAAYUUUUUUUUUUM Bro beautiful boat :cool-smiley-011: theres some nice Chit in the OSO classifieds and the ole bud boat with 1500s is nice and so is RECOVERY,and so is CAT IN THE ACT ....... is it christmas yet ?????:D

Been 3 times since I ordered my 388 and it gets better every visit and thats not just cuz my future Title contender is about 3-4 days from the paint booth :cool-smiley-011: but cuz the hardware is always changing and always some bada$$ piece to check out

RHR158,

I considered buying the DW & finishing it w/ a pair of Ilmor 710's but the deal just became too complicated. There was still quite a bit of rigging required.

I switched gears & am determined to join the SKATER NATION!!!

I have a set of 1600's going in it for Havasu. The old one ran 175 on the rev limiters and on pump gas

:worthless_without_p

No problems with the tanks they were clean:D.The Butcher sent me some pics. last week of the progress in a P.M. Looks like a big job doing the tanks $5,000 is a hell of a deal for the work involved.I have tried to send the pics to forum but it returns"invalid file".

[QUOTE=offshoresteve;2491443]The Butcher sent me some pics. last week of the progress in a P.M. I am not sure how to send them to the forum though

Ya OK right forgot how to download pics since you were last on the melting fiberglass tanks thread that got deleted you emailed OSO about ???? mmmmmmm :cool-smiley-011: No biggie for sure it will be 110%
ITS A SKATER NATION !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

For A.J. ...making progress
