K;Kat...let's run!
|
Went to Lake Greeson,Ark last weekend, for my once a month weekend.Perfect weather and water.
First time to swim in March, in a long time.The boat ran great.Had both tanks full, and 4 of us, with all the gear.We ran from Kirby over to the dam, and headed back. Everything looked good, so I throttled her on up.The K-plane worked great. Got up to 102 on the gps and could hear the wife Screaming from the back seat.She hates speed, but that was 7 mph faster than her last ride!!My buddy enjoyed it though.I think he is hooked now.I've been telling him to forget those Crownlines. Can't wait to get back on the water and make a HERO pass. It feels better everytime I get in it. The boat really acts crazy starting around 50 mph, without the K-plane. I wonder if it is possible to drive thru it, without the K-plane? I just bump the K-plane button, just enough to stop the porpoising, and then leave it alone.While doing the throttle and K-plane button , I'm trimming the outboards at the same time. It is all happening fast, but at least the outboard trims are on the steering wheel, which helps.I think I will eventually get the hang of it. The water was whitecapping, but no rollers. I was going with the wind. Any thoughts about going into the wind????? I'm open to criticism.I've been in dragboats since 1985, but nothing like this....... |

I know this is the 24 Thread, but we did this interior update in a 32 Skater. It could be reproduced in any size Skater, or maybe I need to go see Peter myself? Ergonomics, comfort, and lack of any lumbar support is the issue we have found on most older Skater seating.
XT Thanks! |
He is usually hanging in the Baja section

http://www.powerboatlistings.com/view/13343 Thanks Ronnie 954-325-7722 |
Anyone know whatever happened to the custom 24' that may have been the last 24 that SKATER ever built? Was for-sale at Lake Cumberland for awhile. It was a four seat, 1/4 canopied 24'.
