Just Bought 88 32 Skater
 

I Just Bought 32 Skater From Canada This Past Weekend . It Is A Race/pleasure Outboard Boat , No Engines , Just What I Have Been Looking For . I Do Auto Restoration Work For A Living , So The Boat Will Be Painted Very Soon . I Have A Question , The Boat Has The Very Tall Stringers In Rear Cockpit , I Want To Trim These Down To Around 2 Inches High In Center Of Floor And Around Tank Cut Down To Within 1 Inch Of Tank . Has Anyone Ever Done This ?? Also Has Anyone Ever Made A Fiberglass Motor Well To Finish Off The Rear Of Boat ?? I Can't Believe That Skater Would Let A Boat Go Out The Door With That Unfinished Motor Well Area .

I would not cut into any of the stringers.

If you must then I would Consult with Peter at Skater.
Remember do not leave any sharp edges. Cuts should be
round with large radius.

Good Luck with ur Skater.

Lets see some Pictures!

Thank you ! That was exactly my plan . on a pleasure version the strigers are not 12 inches high in the cocpit area .

I had a 87 32 ob #3204 the back near the engines was not finished ether, i would check that transom for mosture and rot.
All those boats at that time were old race boats. Mine started out as risky busniess as well as a couple other names along the way. let see some pictures..

Was yours blue under the risky busniess paint?

no white gel

No rot , that was the first thing I looked at , very solid . According to Peter , this boat was built for somebody in NJ who used to race with Billy Frienz .
