Outer Limites vs Fountain ???
 
Last week I had a conversation with a SKATER guy about Pete building a single engine 399 VEE. My belief is that Pete is able to build a 10 foot longer boat....faster and better priced. He has the most advanced bottom in the world.............TRUST ME...... It has been copied............ I know !!!
LETS HAVE YOUR INPUT ?

why would you want to build a 39 single engine boat....the point of the 29 is to be able to have a smaller boat that is easier to handle for most people...

this is just turning into a "who's dick is bigger" match...first it was OL and fountain...now it's OL and skater...

I have to agree with some of your thinking......but would an avid boater want a longer......lighter boat......for less money.....................with smother ride ?
Especially a SKATER.............THX SPIDERMAN !!!

Well, true, but it's just improbable...if a person is looking at a 29....size is usually a concern. I agree, but then again, there's allot of boats out there, what would the resale of a 39 with a single engine be, after the owner was done ordering it if he went to sell it...the market would be slim to none. That's just my logic. :)

You would be surprised............

Who in there right mind would buy a 29 OL V for $199,000?
Who in there right mind would buy that MTI for $1.7 or $1.3 million with 66 hours on it?

Oh wait it has a pop up stereo, that should add $1 million to the price lol

So you're saying Skater is offering a single engine 39' pleasure vee that will run faster than a comparable 29 OL with equal power... and for les $ on top of it??? If so, that I would have to see to believe! :eek:

We may never know....... knowing Pete like I do...........I would bet my life on it !

Sounds like it'll be a hoot docking on a windy day...

WildThing47 05-03-2012 01:38 PM

I just thought about this...you're telling me Pete has some special way to lay up a 39 that will bring the weight down under the 4k and change the OL is with a single engine...

I'm sorry but you just sound STUPID...

that'll be a great boat in a rough sea...what's it going to have, a steering wheel, no cabin......and that's it? haha this is absurd..
