I sat in Jim Lees 28 with the new clear wrap around windshield. It is great, easy to get in the seats and over the top of my head, the flat deck is cool, along with the new dash

Be careful. Setting in that thing will make you write checks

Can Skater make a SB Stock cat that can compete with the Doug Wrights?

Pete can build anything you want.........he just needs somebody willing to spend the money to build a new raceboat for Stock Outboard - which not many new guys seem to want to go up against Kyler Talbott. Currently, a 30 Skater doesn't seem to be able to beat the DW32s. Nobody with the $$$ it takes to be competitive in the class has campaigned a 30 Skater in Stock Outboard yet though, so it hasn't been proven that they can't be competitive. However, the DW32 track record here in the US speaks for itself. Pete has the design thought out to build a boat to rival (or possibly beat) the DW32, but nobody has stepped up to build one yet. Can't blame them, it's easier just to build a proven DW32. Victory's boats kick the DW32s ass in X-Cat over in Europe, so it's not like the DW32 is the fastest outboard on the water. It is a great outboard boat though - no doubt about it!

About the same top speeds but the the 30 skater is quite a bit bigger and better in rough water. A 30 spectre is closer to a 28 skater but not as fast.
