I found some nice pop up twist loc for the cockpit covers. I originally saw them on Pure Platinum in black. Found out where to get them and ordered some to replace the 7 on my boat. Will post pics once I install them. Very nice piece. If any of you guys are interested I can send you the info. They sell for $35.00 each.
I agree with Bulletbob should be some really nice boats coming out soon!!!!!!
We all with have to up our game..... LOL
I think all this hard work we all are doing is bringing back the value of the outboard Skaters again. Prices are the on the rise my friends. Keep up the good work!

96 miles in the 28 Thursday and Friday. It runs great, port engine starting to pull harder now, it was down 200 rpm. 21 hours on the new power now. I really like the new black carbon fiber dash and fairing pad. The windshield attachment for the fairing pad is next.

The only ones I have. The X engines sound great. Boat looks great also.
I like the Driver in Training, lucky dad and son.

Hey Ron, Motor sounds great. What props are you running. Looks like four blades of some sort. How do they run. Steve.

Driver in training is priceless. I recommend logging as many of those hours as you can. My first poker run with Will was about as much fun as a father and son can have and not end up spending the night in jail. Happy Easter.

If you own a 28, and are not running those props, you will be following someone that is running them. For a little while, until there out of sight.
