I have pretty good luck with three 300x motors on a 32' Classic, the center does require more maintenance but the boat would be boaring without it. Just make sure to run a 4 blade prop on the center and go through the drive every 75 hours or so. With the 300xs you would probably need to get the Mike Nass cowls, the center motor does get wet.

the color scheme is sick and I heard the 52 was built for the new owners 19yr old son!

it is a 30' with a 3' bussle selling it as a 338. looking to break 190mph according to Tommy from Chief

The only thing the new owner wants to do is win the 28' to 31' cat class at LOTO.

190 huh? That's saying a lot from Tommy since they are Eddie Young motors

Skater is definitely my favorite boat.!!

Great pics, and thanks for sharing!!

Tommy is selling Skaters now and became Merc certified on all rebuilds. He was in the skater booth all week raving about the boat and motors. Also raved about the merc 1350 turbo. Guys a good friend. Don't think he'd bullchit me

whats the record?

I think 148mph

I sold the boat, I know, I sold 3 out of the 4 boats at the show at the show. Nobody is a 1075, 1100 or 1350 Merc certified rebuilder, the Merc factory only does them. I think he's BSing you, the owner doesn't think it's going to run 190mph in it's current form.
