Nice boat, sorry to hear about your problems, wasn't that boat @ Shogren once upon a time. But you didn't buy it from Scott, correct?
BTW, I don't own a Cat because of the $$ of Cat insurance here if Fl. Was it hard/expense to insure that beauty here in FL?
Thanks,
Dean

Fresh Motors
Parker,
I am sorry that you had problems with your motors but in fairness just a few things. The motors were fresh when they were put in the Skater. The motors came out of an MTI @ Pier 57 and were sold to us then we sold to customer who owned the Skater which you were aware of.
When you called me about the boat I told you the boat was ready to go with exception of having motors ECM's programmed properly. You were told not to run the boat by me and the owner of the boat. You decided to run boat even though you were advised not to run until engine builder flew into see you and program/map ECM's. You chose to run boat then called me and told me it would not run right and it was back firing and popping which was most likely detonation which was also the assumption by the people you dropped the motors off to after you blew them up.
Even though I did "not" sell you the boat, did not take your trade and did not deliver you the boat I offered to throw $500.00 towards you to help pay the $1,000 the builder wanted to fly down and program your motors which you did not want to participate in. You then tried to run motors again and called about more problems with more back firing.
I think this would all be mute today if you did not run boat as advised. Shogren did not sell you this boat. The customer sold directly to you, met you in TN and took your trade and you paid seller.
In closing, I am sorry for your problems but feel the could have easily been avoided. I do not have 38's but I have a set of 17 X 37.5 that you could use to test if it helped.
Best of luck.
Regards,
Scott Shogren
