The odds that you will burn down the entire marina are really slim, go ahead and roll the dice.

Why won't anyone insure a 24'?

Too fast, too short, too much horsepower, lol :coolcowboy:

Stacey at Wakezone insurance has a few carriers up her sleeve that can insure it and that would actually follow through if there were ever a claim!

FINALLY got the 24.. Spent a day running around the Gulf with a couple of buddies and had the TIME of OUR LIVES on it! Then the water turned snotty.. It was a very wet ride, doesnt take much of a gust of wind to get vertical and dramatic..

It was 25 hours down, 25 hours home.. One HELL of a trip..


On a side note, this is NOT a boat you'll learn to drive ina day..

Thats' the fun part. I've had more fun learning how to drive/fly my cat than a barrel full o monkeys! Have fun and bee safe. That cat will amaze you.

QUOTE=Ryan Beckley;3340015]This one was S-99 Skater Express[/QUOTE]

This was the second 24' Skater Express,

The first Skater Express was an all white kevlar race pleasure hull with four 60 gallon tanks. It ran the Mississippi New Orleans to St. Louis race and did well before running out of fuel south of St. Louis. It was later rolled then repaired by Skater. I purchased from Glazer Marine and did a repaint and restore on it. Howard Arneson then blew the record for the Mississippi making the boat obsolete for the River run.

I was sold to a guy from Suriname who towed it to Miami the put it on a barge home.

Skater Express restored and at Key West and Lake X in 88 or 89
