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..?

Critical Lift....

How fast can critical lift go with those outboards?

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.

Wasn't this the Ocean Outboard Skater, If I remember corectly I saw it race in Biloxi Miss. sometime around 1996. Didn't it have a cut down tunnel making it narrower than a regular 36'.

Snakeman was raced with triple 2.5's, saw 116 at lake x, and around 105-110 in normal race conditions.

The redone version will feature 4 2.5's sweet boat!

I thought they popped a 328?

Target had there own outboard boat that they "POPPED" it was NOT Critical Lift, I am pretty sure.

I know Ocean Outboard had a 36 with trips. Not sure if it was also Critical Lift as well. Ocean Outboard had a cut down deck...not sure about the tunnel.

It was Ocean Outboard at first..at least thats what the poster says

I could be wrong.

I seem to remember that CL ended up in Quebec

Ocean Outboard did become Critical Lift

Target did not pop Critical lift. It was a 32 cut down canopy outboard race boat. Which one or the tunnel width im not sure.

Pretty sure Pete said it was a 328, think it was the only one done besides mine.

That is correct sir!

It was quite a bit before your's was built though.........maybe the first 328.

I am pretty sure this is the boat that was splashed by Target in converted pleasure form.

If you look at that tunnel, it's def widened.

Is TJA a 36'? Trip 300's

Oh yea, wasnt doubtin you on that one buddy!:D TJA is a 32 classic with triple 300 pro max.

Does that mean you doubt me on other ones?:evilb:

Not on Skater topics!!:D

TJA Motorsports is a 32.
