Thanks Jolley, here are some shots with the console, controls, and carpet thrown in there to see how its coming together

Wow, it's coming together nicely David!

thanks for the compliments guys
Here we are loaded up and headed on road trip

brought the "Boss" to ride shotgun

Bee - youu - ti -ful ......... the boats nice too!
Fantastic work you guys.

Looks great!
very curious as to how the pods feel in chop? can you feel them?

good question, not water tested yet, will let you know

Wow, Boat and Crew ready for the maiden voyage. Good luck and be safe, your boat turned out incredible

It's got a ways to go yet before the water test.
I'm having the electrical system wired professionally. Hence the road trip
Good news, when I get it back, I'll be good to go

Boat looks great, It should fly with 4 engines. Maybe I will get to see it at LOTO next year.

Lookin sweet!!

That would be awesome Jim! I really like what you have done with your Skater.

Thanks, she's a good Boss too

David who is gonna do the wiring for you? LOOKS GREAT!!!

I just spent 3 hours reading all the posts and getting up to speed on this project. Dave yourself and everyone involved have done amazing work to this boat. I can't wait to see the YouTube video of you flying across the water!!!!!!

Thanks Ryan!

Thanks TPro, I cant believe it has been four years since I pulled it back from Oklahoma. The project has been a great experience. I always wanted a Skater. My wife asked me one time, if we hit the lottery, what boat would I want. Well we didnt hit the lottery but I still managed to find my dream boat.

Who better!! Well Played!

Nice .................................................. ..

Yep, it will definitely be wired correctly. Congrats.

Very cool project! Have you ran it yet? What props are you using for it???
Brett

Thanks, no I have not run it yet. I'm starting out with the 15X32 3blade merc cleavers, but pretty sure I'll be turning 15X34s by completion of dial in.

Hey Dave, what do you imagine slip % is going to be? Love the boat.

NP that is a good question, Having 4 gearcases in the water will have an effect on slip. anyone out there with a quad 32 have any ideas on what to expect?

here are some pics of our visit to Skater

anyone know of some 15X34 3 blade merc FatShaft OB cleavers LH, RH available?

To try or buy? You gettin close?

to buy, just getting ready, it's in Pete's hands now

Wrong size but I've got 4 four blade 32"x 14.5 Merc cleavers with fat shaft hub kits. 2RH 2LH.

It's in good hands, I'll keep my eyes open.

yep, i appreciate that NP, Im going to go for the three blade cleavers for now, im mainly after top end. Thanks

I asked Skater to come up with a solution to my trim switch dilema. I had no room on my dash and with 4 engines, I didnt like the idea of having all of them wired to the throttles. I like what they came up with pictured here (not completely wired yet)

Looks great, what all are you having Skater do at the factory for you if you don't mind me asking.

Is that the only trin switch ? Why not have one throttle switch with diodes and use those four to make a + or - bump to even out .

KK, I wont be using the trim that much. With my past experience, most outboard cats seem to run the best when trim is set level with running surface. I just wanted it close to steering wheel in case i need to bump it a bit.

Im having Skater wire dash and bilge, finish off fuel system requirements and connections and basically have it ready for me to run. :ernaehrung004:

Very nice !

I started reading this thread last night and just finished it. This is an amazing project. Are you keeping up with your costs or are you throwing the recites in a box?

I saw your baby today. There were about four guys all over it today. Looking good.

ok I'm jealous, wish I could be there watching. Any pictures would be great
