Default 1350s

I know they are still new but I am surprised that the subject of maintaince and rebuilds has never come up, if it costs aprox
$ 25000 each to redo 1075s, and this package is twice as much will they in voice be $ 100000 per pair to rebuild them, even if they do last 200hr tbo I don't care who you are that has got to be cost prohibative.

There is a difference in running a kilo and running all the way to Key West for top speed. There is also a difference in a purpose built canopy drag boat and a open cockpit pleasure boat.........Last Kilo run: 2010 LOTO Shoot Out at a 40mph start.

David Scott in a full drag canopy 50' Mystic at 208mph
Chip Romer in a pleasure open cockpit Skater 388 at 186mph
Leon Derebery in a old open 36' Classic Skater at 177mph
Gary Smith in a 40SS open/pleasure Skater at 165mph

Gino Gargiulo...................155mph

Nordic's new Cat flagship has the Skater hull (licensed) and I saw the 1350's and M8s on the warehouse floor the other day touring the facility. It should be interesting.........
