The lake is about 30 miles long with most being less than 1 mile wide, at most, and surrounded by the Cookson Hills (our mountains) which block most of the wind. There are not a lot of large boats to make big wakes. I had a 21 Cougar and had no problems as well as my tournament ski boay does just fine . I would love to facilitate Skater get together. David

That looks perfect !thats is what the ol Mississippi looks like for water conditions after 7 during the week
We can get some good wind chop ,an traffic waves on the weekends tho,let me know on tenkiller that would be ausome !

Did Boat Customs use their own layup schedule for the new deck or is it in keeping with Skater's?

You have definitely up'ed the anty on what can be done in a remodel!

I'm not certain if Pete uses carbon fiber on his deck panels. Nasty's new build looks like glass on his deck panel and so did the others while I was building the 338.

We used the same foam core as Skater but vacuum bagged it with carbon fiber to minimize weight and maximize strength. All the glassing and tabbing of the deck to the hull will be the same.

The longitudinal bulkheads were added to the hull before the deck was set in place. The perpendicular bulkheads required build up and reinforced with carbon fiber after they had been cut down due to being too small.
