I will post more when we get it out of the paint booth and get some rigging done.

It's a Skater 488 Super Vee.

Skater built 3 of these. This is the third and last one that was built. The first went to Europe to race in P1, the second was used as cigarettes kilo boat and then turned into the poker run edition they sold, and this one is mine

The bottom is a 46 rough rider that's been modified by skater. The notch in the back is bigger and some work was done to the steps. The bottom on my boat is 5" thick. 3 layers of core, sandwiched between carbon and kevlar. The boat ways 5040 pounds with just the Gimbals on it. With twin sterling 1150/1350's in it... we are looking to run 135 with pretty conservative propping.

All that to say, I can't wait to get it on the water..

Clear gets sprayed Monday, then I will toss a few more up. Chris Mills came up with this paint scheme and done an incredible job getting it on the boat. Couldn't be happier, unless we were going testing on Monday.. lol!
