Agreed no different than factoring the cost & or time commitment required to get ones boat to & from the OEM (Skater or other).

I chose to have Skater do my ILMOR Indy drive upgrade for 2 reasons. 1) it had never been attempted before know one knows the boat like Skater does. 2) ILMOR is also located in Michigan so they worked thru the project together. The end result was not cheap but it was a 100% success!

For sure, I dropped the boat off right at 2 months ago, I'm picking it up on Friday. This also includes fresh paint for the trailer too, as well as fixing and replacing a few rusted spots on it. My hats off to Chris and his team, they have done an incredible job, I'm still floored by what they have done in a VERY short amount of time. This might also include fixing an uh oh going through a toll booth on the way up there. I'll be avoiding that Turnpike on the way back for sure.

Thats correct, we do the polycarbonate windshield and base for 12k ,the bustle extension is 10k have molds for both. The windshield, cockpit work and bustle tunnel extension and step complete from skater is 90-100k, we also do the pleasure canopy retrofit to flat deck.We did a complete retrofit on a classic 40, removed rub rail, glassed together, no seam,tunnel extension, flat deck retro on canopies,added wrap around windshield, bustle extension. Looks like a new boat, total custom skater
