I'm rethinking a 28 skater and modifying the cockpit. My 25 Talon has twice as much room as my friends 32 skater. My throttles are located on my right with the steering on the right side also. Another thing about the skaters under 40' is getting in and out of the front seats. How about 10" or so on either side of the front seats for access. My .02 cents.

Yes it might be slower than say a blower motor I. O but look @ it this way , super simple power , run wide open all ady and all season without poppig the hatch to see oil seeping out someone or a rod on the floor . From what I hear high power I.O cats are falling out of favor to Opti power ( 32 ft and under )

Those new pics , I thought mike @ fine line was going to take over int design ?

Outboards are reliable....LUs on an outboard cat take a beating...you may never lose a powerhead and have 6 sets of lowers on it. Give me a a pump gas lower RPM big block and a number 6 drive, thats a bullet proof combo

This is a 32' that has been widened to 10' 2" and has a bussel, 2-4 seating. The way your thinking this would be a great boat with Mercury Racing 700SCI's NXT transon's with #6 drives. And for the guys that need more room in the cockpit we can move the console to 2 outboard consoles with coolers in them.

Bob, it is an option to put outboard consoles and leave the middle open. Just not what most of the bigger boats want but that is how I would build one of the new 338's or 357's models coming out. It really opens up the cockpit and that is what I'm hearing from all the lake guys.
