Hey double rigged thanks! It's a lake about an hour north of Toronto (Canada) called "lake simcoe". Oddly enough the 28 orthobam just purchased came off the same lake. For a pretty small lake we have a lot of power boat action. Skaters alone, 2 or 3 24s, 5 28s, 2 32s, 1 36 flat deck and a 388.

Nice
you guys have your own Skater Nation!!!!!

LAriverratt 02-15-2016 08:23 AM

nice 28 LL9! and yea ron the 30's needs a windshield. the power deflectors work nice but riding in skates spoiled me right off the bat!

LA, is that Garth and I? We will both be there with our 28's and will be running against each other in the shootout. hope this year will bring out some more outboards. LOTO Shootout is very addictive.

LAriverratt 02-29-2016 10:32 AM

no Jim I didn't count you. that's 4. and mike we are all skater brothers! will have to meet you up there at LOTO unless you're coming to the swamps here in La. for the 200 before the shootout.

Mike, Hope all goes well. Cherish these moments for what is important in life. Boats can be bought and sold all the time. Keep us posted! Kids grow up super fast.

LOTO will be home to 2 new 28s

I expect many more to follow
We are going to show the LOTO crew what these "little" Skaters will do......it will be the death of the LOTO CC market :)

I'll organize and OB Skater event.....probably be a big party for all Skaters and some of my MTI friends at my cousins house (formerly my house not far from the toad)....

Since these are "endurance" machines I was thinking about getting a group together to run dam to dam as a little cannonball run with prizes and awards....you could call it a "race" if you wanted. We would start at Beavers, touch the dock at the 72 (Truman Dam) and finish back at Beavers,...or we could just go to Capt Rons (34mm) and back and party instead.

I'll work on PBC/Red Head Yacht Club (our local Skater dealer) to help with the organization.....maybe they could give away a free night on the big boat for the "winner" of the "race"....

Wonder if I should haul my 28 down from MN now? Sounds fun. I haven't even driven it yet. How many 28's would that be?
