I have a Powerboat cover when it was first American Offshore. I only have one or two pics of the X-Men theme, I always tried to find more of the paint job. Between X-Men and Conrad getting it, it sat, and sat, and sat in rain. Enough rain to fill up the sponsons, which there in lies the problem. Scott knew about it, but I was too excited and too trusting to think he was selling me something hurt. My fault either way....

You or Erik have pics you can post of it when it was X-man? I'd like to see it.

Yes it's interesting that they are made to take a beating at high speed in rough water conditions right?
but definately don't do well sitting in the rain on the trailer

If my eyes do not deceive me, you appear to have a red Haflinger parked in the driveway. That would make a great tow vehicle for the Skater, and a great picture! LOL
