No issues or worries !!! Why one word VINYLESTER . all boats with issues were either built with general purpose polyester or more expensive Epoxy which are a problem with today's fuels . I knew this when purchased which was confirmed with Peter . The boat is Kevlar and Vinylester

Good to Know.

You've done your research well!

I have been around boat building business for many years , know enough to get in trouble .


This is the only way a I could afford a Skater , buy an hunk of ****!!! As my friends say " polishing a turd "

My logic is simple , they will still build you a 2010 Skater 32 classic which is fine but I don't do payments and will not tolerate deprecation . At the end of the day I will have 65 k with new power , super slick paint job and better than new trailer . Everything done in house except for galvanizing trailer

I'm with you on that 100%

My next boat will be a cat. A used Skater if all goes well.

Brand new engines is the way to go either twin or tripple 300XS.

What work will you be doing next? If interior, will you start on the flooring?

Not sure what you mean when you sad " flooring " but the 6 way power seat track and designing and building rear seat shell from Starboard lite then shipping it to PPI have to be completed before we can paint deck .

Larry, in this pic it looks like you laid down new stringers on the port side?

what was the issue there? ...noli

That is top secret area ! That is part of my aft cabin area which now has a lightweight floor , just enough room to catch a nap or lay pipe

Sorry I don't swing that way !!!!!!:lolhit:

Buhahaha, now that's funy!

Question about the rear seat shell.

When you build the shell bound for PPI, will PPI simply attach the cushions onto your shell or will they build a new shell using your Starboard Lite shell merely for dimensions?
