I found a Skater 24 that has a center pod and came with triple 2.4's
The boat is now rigged with twin 2.5's. Decent shape. What do you think it might be worth and how much do you think it would cost to triples back on it. Not sure how it handles with twins and the center pod. Any idea how many came stock from the factory with 3 motors?

The centerpod is quite small and would think the effect on handling would be minimal.
I would not spend the time or money to go back to triples, its really too small of a boat for 3 motors, too much weight hanging off the transom, will make it more unstable in rough water.
There were maybe a handfull of triple engine 24's ever built, and Peter always advised against it, they are just insane, maybe 10 mph faster than a twin.
I had a 1990 24 Skater with twin 300X's, ran 115.
I wouldn't want to go much faster than that in a 24 foot boat.
The 24 Skater is deceptively stable though a that speed until you hit some rollers.
Good luck.

I have a really nice 24 with twin 2.5's. It sits on a nice trailer. Boat is good and solid. Whit paint with cool decals. Runs 116mph with 3 people and a half tank of fuel. 5 hours on motors sense total rebuilds by a certified merc mechanic. Also has cockpit and full covers.
If anybody is looking, I would like to sell it. I have a 40 classic and a 488. This thing just sits now.
I would take $40k for it.
Thanks,
Tom
