Default looking to buy a skater

Hello all, I am looking to purchase a skater 308 flat deck with wrap around windshield would like it to be powered by 700SCI motors but flexable on that. I was wondering if I could get some names of dealers for skater I searched the web for hours and only come up with 2 dealers. Let me here your advise and storyies of your dealings and why you would buy from any particular dealer over another

Thanks

Call Blume low. He is more knowledgable about skaters than anybody else. He knows where they all are around the country. Good guy to talk to. You won't find anybody better.

I am guessing your 700 SCI is going to be a Merc 700?

Put that with the Arneson #7M's and you'd be in the 140's. If the budget allowed make the boat a 338 like Louie's and then you would have an AWESOME boat.

You will have to have the boat flat decked to put the wrap around windshield on it so widening it would not really be that much more$$. Awesome and RELIABLE package with room for expansion.

I have decided to come down to the 600 instead of the 700 but am considering the surface drive option. As for the 338 I will be doing lots of towing and dont want the hassel of a wider boat

The 600 will run well and those to can be massaged for more power after their warranty period has passed.
