My new 28 Skater ....
 

Gentleman -

I just wanted to thank Mr. David Zabielski for selling me his beautiful 28 Skater. I saw the ad on Monday afternoon, called him and talked for a few minutes, called him back that evening, and had a text agreement to buy early Tuesday morning. I woke up about 3:30 AM on Tuesday thinking about it so I figured this must be the one. Funny how that works.

My schedule is busy the next few weeks so Dave volunteered to haul the boat 6 hours to Minnesota so I could get it before the snow falls.

This was probably the smoothest boat buy/sell I've been involved with. Dave's a great guy and it was an absolute pleasure to do business with him.

Thanks Dave. Pictures to follow.............

Congrats again Mike, and welcome to OSO. I'll go back and bring a pic or two over for ya. You have to be a paying member here to post pics. The info and fellowship are well worth the cost though.

Congrats. Beautiful boat

What props you have on there Mike?

Thanks Flightplan. The previous owner sent it with 15 X 32 Merc Cleaver (4 Blades). I have a set of 15 X 32 Merc Cleaver (3 Blades) from a previous Spectre. His best numbers were with 15 X 34 Merc Cleaver (3 Blades) which gave him ~ 120 mph.

I'll probably play with my two sets next summer and then decide on buying a third set.

Welcome aboard! Glad to see another Skater with X motors!!!!
You will like them a lot.:circle::ernaehrung004:

I guess I didn't notice you have been a member of OSO since 2001. Well then, welcome to the Skater brotherhood.

You should try to get those 15x34's. impressive numbers.

congrats on the sweet new boat. being from fargo i am always amazed when skaters end up in this neck of the woods, Sean Torrents old red 24' skater was on Pelican Lake near here for a while. What lake/lakes do you plan on using it on?

It will be parked on the "Whitefish Chain" where I have a summer cottage. The "Whitefish Chain" is located near the town of Crosslake, MN, which is 30 minutes North of Brainerd, MN, and 2 1/2 hours North of the Twin Cities.
