Have Joined the Skater Nation
 
After a long wait, I am now officially a member of the Skater Nation. And what a ride. Almost two weeks now after my first full day out on it and the memory still makes me grin ear to ear. WHAT A RIDE! I still have some tweaking to do with props and such but, DAMN!

46', fresh 1350hp Sterlings, crashboxes, and new #6's.

The boat has about as checkered of a past as the new owner but the boat is in much better condition.

1. Clearing boat at Virgin Gorda BVI Customs.
2. Customs looking for contraband or Haitians-could put about 40 in it.
3. Gotta love those engines.
4. For size perspective. She couldn't wait to get to the polishing.

I'm with you on that. The boat seats four guys or about seven ladies and myself. Every stop we make in it we get volunteers to fill the cockpit. Love taking it out.

Sure did love that Tiger and had a lot of fun with it and I will always be a Cigarette guy but....this Skater is a whole nuther ball game and I am fully in the game. What a ride. The damn thing just makes you grin til it hurts and that is what it's all about.

I had the privilege to spend most of last week in the BVI with David and Chrissann. Got to see the Skater but no rides till next time. David was short on time and with his wanting to do a few things with the boat first we decided to wait. It is a beauty tho and can't wait to get some running shots of her, probably in Feb when i return with Team PREDATOR. Here are a couple of pics I was able to get. I like the clean lines and graphics he came up with.

Yes, but I want to spend some time running it before I get into that project. I want to have some fun with it first.
