Thumbs up Skater Info...........

I think it was John Tomlinson that was apparently that Skaters were better in the rough water and the MTI's were faster in the smooth. This is going back a number of years so the innovations in hull bottoms between then and now may change different peoples opinions
If anyone needs any Skater info, specs, pricing or pictures of the product please let me know. As far as the 2 boats y'all have fun debating the issue.

That's nice Blume but in 20 almost 13 it should be readily available on the web page.

Something tells me that folks looking to buy a cat like an MTI or a Skater don't really give a phuck about their web sites, they fly out to the factory.

To me there is nothing better than a flat deck skater!!! I'm Definately a skater guy but I respect MTIs as they are great boats... But in my opinion the themed boats like corvette, phantom & etc. are just annoying and are Definately not to my taste!

If you ever meet Pete one time all would be clear about this issue. I agree though.

Safety usually is behind the wheel.
