Here's a few more pics.

I think there is a 308 hull sitting at the factory waiting on a buyer??? was next to my 28 when I was up there recently.

When I grow up................................................ ................................. and marry rich! Those are gorgeous!!!!!

308 Classic Inboard..............
 

Yes, there is a hull and deck ready. Just needs a new owner to pick out the graphics, start painting, picking options and rigging the boat.

guess i shoulda tried to make a trade huh.:lolhit: whats the difference in tunnel width and length on the 308 vs 28?

In a word.......Dramatic!! The 30 is huge in comparison. The 28 looks like it will fit in one of the sponsons. It looks almost twice the size, but, blume I'm sure will give you the specs.

yea, mine looked very small sitting next to the 308 that's for sure!!!

who did that paint and graphics on the orange/yellow/grey/silver one????

At loto and will respond after the weekend. everyone should be here. All boats in pics painted at Skater.

everyone but me :grinser010: :lolhit:

hope everyone has great, safe shootout!!!

Off topic but, I think we met, LA riverratt, at Jacksonville in front of the Hyatt. If I remember correctly you told me you had a couple of flat tires on the way down. Mabye it was your friend I talked to. I was with a friend in his 36 Skater.
I wish I was at LOTO also. Drink a few for me!!

unfortunately I haven't ever made the Jacksonville run...YET... so it wan't me :D but I have been known to have a flat or two while towing lately for some reason :lolhit: blew out the center tire on the sunsation trailer heading to Destin this year.

308 inboard
 

I saw the pics from the link boo posted and was wondering if it was possible to build a 308 for inboards and what the weight will be then .

My next project would be a 26-28 and maybe if the weight stays below the 6200lbs total longer cat to rig whit 2 small block ls engines making 600hp each .


The weight has to do whit the road legal weight limit here in europe .

Thx

Bor

A 338 is being built now with 2 Cadillac SuperCharged motors, ADS 7 drives. It will be close on weight.

Here is info on a 30' Inboard:
GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS
LENGTH 30' 7"
BEAM 9' 4"
HEIGHT 56"
WEIGHT - INBOARD PLEASURE 3200 LBS
FUEL CAPACITY 160 GALLONS
SPONSON DEADRISE 18 DEGREES

It will be close with small blocks. Twin BBC is right at #6800

there was a pic posted a few years back with a 308 sitting next a 28 at skater and it dwarfed the 28. is there any other pics like that around??

What speeds will be expected with max hp motors ?

What outboards are recommended for these boats.

Approx. retail price with a trailer ????

(2) 300xs's and should run 101 to 103 ish and great on fuel. Franks runs well and is a FMO member. Im sure he would give you a ride.

Hey Blume,

Any other new Skater projects that you can update us with progress pics on?

I like seeing the progression of the build, paint, etc...

Thank you!

Is that same hull as Franks ?
with 350s its 110 115 ?
Is Franks that wide ??

Got some new pics just need to get them on with info.

Im 90% sure its the same as Franks. 350's wont run well becasue the gear case is not ment to be surfaced like a sportmaters on the 300xs. Also on the 300xs the mid section is different a little more surable. Not saying it cant be done but I wouldnt recomend it. They run so well with 300xs's why mess with it.

Gotcha
Had a 32 Skater with 3 300s but was in the day that the tanks were failing . Azzpain.
Put bladders in but by then I was so Pizzed off that I got rid of it for my 43 Nortech.

But it ran great. Loved it.

The ones in Blumes pics are gorgeous.

Anyone got round numbers for 2 300s ??

16.5K each more or less

Thank you

Skate, please let me know when we can tell more about your new boat.

OK Thank you Blume

thx rik ,look like another boat on the wish list (30 redline ,28 speedster ,m29 )for the next project !

Blume there are no issues discussing the boat other than disclosing the party we talked about earlier at this time.

The boss said NO!:lolhit:

your boss kinda sounds like mine :drink::lolhit:

Spill the beans man! Congrats on the new boat! What did you get? Is it outboard powered? We met last year in Destin. I was with Steve in his 36 Skater.
