Found me a cat on OSO. Picked this up at Lake Cumberland the other day. She seems to be in very good condition for her age(1994). I think what sold me on this Skater was the fact that she has 2003 300X's that were never even broken in. I hooked up the smartcraft module to the starboard motor and it confirmed 27 of 60 minute break in. I hope I was reading it right. I will be doing the final rigging with the help of a local shop to make sure all is well with the motors.

I would like some opinions on what to look for on 300x's that have set up for 11 years. I want to use her for the summer and then start the restoration this next fall and winter, if I decide to keep her.

It's not the 28 I was looking for, but I couldn't pass up this deal for a starter cat. Here she is.

that's an awesome boat!

please show us more pics and videos

as well as the interior

Pretty Skater - Congrat's.

27 minutes of run time is equated to a barn find...as long as the cylinders were spun regularly (and wet w/ oil)

Boat looks nice. A real classic.

I passed on it because of this. The previous owner did not remember if fuel was left in the motors or how it was pickled for the lay up. I would have mechanic go thru engines first. But it is an amazing find in excellent condition.

Good luck

Great looking boat, have the tanks been done?

Looked hard at that one myself!

Gorgeous!

awesome! more pics please!

Thanks Noli. I was off all last week. Paying the price this week.

Thanks SL. Barn find is kinda what I was thinking. I doubt the motors were spun or anything other than fogged.

Crap shoot really.

Thanks DR. I'll be having some questions on rigging, setup, and electronics. Seems like I read you have some knowledge in those areas HaHa!

Trying to be optimistic. My gut tells me all is well. At least I think thats what that Gnawing feeling is...

Tanks are not redone but have never had ethanol. I have access to non-ethanol on the water and local, but I will be watching the fuel filters.

Some idiot put a deposit down within 24 hours of being listed. Not sure why I do stuff like that...

Thanks TS.

Thanks Ryan, I'll try for this weekend. The interior is very pimp. No really, it's pimp, you will see. Maybe I can call it the "lake pimp" .

I'll go ahead and post some interior pics. Looks like a whole lot of re-wiring to me.
