was up at skater yesterday looking at another boat, hoping to see yours, must have just missed it. Guess we'll see you at the nyc poker run!

Just found this thread. What an awesome combination! Will this be the first Skater 30 with LS small blocks ever built? How much weight savings compared to big blocks? I would expect the balance and handling to be great.

Those LS engines should be about 1/2 the weight of a BB.
