1999 28 skater
 

Hey guys I was wondering if you can help me out. I bought a 1999 28ft skater from a guy in michigan, he did not no much about the boat, he used it 2 times and broke a lower unit and put it away for 3 years.So now I am trying to find out if anybody knows the first owner, he is from Alabama his name is Larry Davis.I would just like to find out some stuff about the motors, like what was done with them performance wise or maybe somebody on this form knows the Boat. Its all white with painted silver 3.0 liter mercs,white with blue and grey int.
Thanks,Rayhttp://skater

Post some pics to jog the memory, Have the tanks been done ? he broke 1 lower and did not use it for 3 years?

I will see if somebody can post the pis for me I cant get them to load.The tanks have not been replaced there has not been any ethanol gas in them and there is a few gas stations around here that dont have ethanol in the gas.That is the story I got when I got the boat and it only had one lower with it.Thanks,Ray

FYI just because they say there has been no Ethanol in the tanks or the stations say its not in their gas does not make it so! My 28 is having the tanks done now and showed early stages of ethanol poisoning from gas stations who stated there was no ethanol in their gas and previous a owner who also thought there had been no exposure to ethanol. You need to have them checked and watch it very carefully to prevent major damage to the hull. We caught mine very early!

I know the previous owner of this boat before the guy in alabama had it. It came from Florida and the original owner got the boat bare from Skater and did all the rigging himself. The motors were 250's worked up to aboout 275. There was a red folder that came with the boat that had all the rigging and paperwork. It had diagrams of how it was rigged and even invoices for the boat and motors. The best we saw out of the boat was about 105, then we blew a lower, after that my buddy took the boat down to Florida and sold it not long after that. The boat was very clean.

Just curious where in Mich was the boats location and who was the old owner ?
