36ft Skater with OBs?
 
Has it ever been done? I always loved the old 32 with triple v8 Evinrudes? How fast did that run?

36ft Skater with quad 300xs?

Your thoughts?

I think Snakeman racing was a 36 w/ quad 2.5's.. Ask glass Dave I think he is re doing the boat

The 36 skater that glassdave is redoing looks SWEET! there is a thread about it in the fiberglass section i believe..?

Really nice resto!


With that said, I would never consider OB's on a boat this size.

I think Crtical lift had the kilo at one point in the low-mid 120's. Im not positive though.

I far as I can tell from talking to Pete and others, a 36 skater quad outboard (Mercury 2.5's) is a first. Even though to some it doesnt make sense, to an outboard appreciator like me this is a dream boat.
Plus finding a guy like Glassdave to make it all happen has been fantastic
I'm not sure how fast it will be. It's sure going to be fun dialing it in though!

That "good old days" inside the shop pic at Lake X brings a tear to my eyes

I have a poster of the boat with the speed on the back. I will grab a pic of it. Definitely a cool piece. I believe Target popped Critical Lift to make "their" line of boats.
