article says 180mph and Pete is quoted saying the boat is capable of 200mph. 2nd favorite skater next to Pure Platinum!!

Is Peter/Skater now going away from rigging 6's on the Merc 1350's and keeping the factory package complete or is this a client's preference???

If you look back on your post you ask what the record was at LOTO in the class this boat will run in. Which is 148mph.

Every 1350 Mercury package I have sold has the M8 drives on it. I don't know of any Skater's that have #6's with 1350's Mercs.

Sorry, I may have my paths crossed from an older thread where there was discussion carrying on about the limitations of the 6 compared to the M8... someone quoted Peter as saying that the 6's can handle over Merc's spec rating on a cat vs. the constant load from a V hull.

Thank for clarifying!

The 6s perform better & have more gear options. Than the 8s. Also the 6s have better hydrodynamics.

my new 388 will . I'm not a fan of the #8's

OK, there is the first one. Ron has always been a trend setter.......

Flight club, your building anew skater? Your last one was incredible. What made you keep it for such a short time? I want to build a smaller version of that maybe off the 33 fatboy
