Since I'm bored I thought I would give a little input.
Yes Bob's pleasure boat is his old race boat, no one has tried to claim other wise. That is why it is listed for sale as a 2008 model. Not sure why it would matter as the race boats have the same bottom as the pleasure boats. It might be a little heavier do to the conversion.
Also it is still a Rudder boat. That is simple because Bob likes the feel of a Rudder boat. It doesn't make it any faster, in fact some think it slows acceleration because of the lack of trim range. I really don't know what it had as far as power for the shootout, and I would bet that no one on here KNOWS for sure either. They might have ideas, but Randy and Bob would never leak that info. I do know of several things done prop and rigging wise that helped increase the speed dramatically.
I'll let everyone else figure out which boat is fastest. I've got to figure which MX bike will make my kids faster.lol

Whos faster in a Poker Run or a Shootout means nothing. Skater is dominating Supercat Lite for a reason. Theres a reason Amsoil sponsored a Skater. The original, the best on the race course. Both boats are exceptional pleasure boats, cant go wrong with either to have a helluva lot of fun!

This boat was sitting next to mine at Nauti. Looked bigger there but looks like the same size in the picture.

I believe Randy has it listed in the For Sale section of MTI Home page. Probably to much boat for you though.
