Why did they ever not put a full windshield on the Skater? I would much rather have the full wraparound. Not that it's ever going to matter for me because I'm not riding in that back center seat but I have and it sucks!!

Well when yours was built the 1/4 canopy's was the stuff and a full wraparound was in the future. Time for a trade in to a new style Skater?

Yes. I've already tried. The numbers don't look good. I'm going to stay retro for a few years.

No arguments here. But why did they make such tiny boats?

They really are not that small that photo that was off. Take your finger put it on the bottom of the skater lay it on the screen and you'll see the Mti's trailer is about a foot closer to the ground then the skaters. And it doesent matter how it looks on a trailer it's how it looks in the water. Your skater was next to Burns 36 Mti at loto and it really wasent that much taller, how they look on trailer and how they look in water is completely diffrent.

Chip Romer (Skater 388) hit 191mph in 1 mile at LOTO and saw 198mph on his GPS. I am pretty sure it would go over 200mph with a longer straight. That is an open pleasure cat for sure.
