Wanted: 28 Skater
 
I've searched the internet over and have found nothing. I've PM'd and talked to about everyone I know and have come up short.

I'm open to about anything except unfixable junk (which I almost bought but several people on this forum talked me off the ledge).

No real budget (except for brand new - I've already looked into that).

I'm not a tire kicker. I'm ready to pull the trigger now.

It's a sickness and I'm very ill. I've explored "other" brands and options. I want a 28' Skater and that's it.

Thanks

Brett

There's no cure, you have to own one. (or 2) ;-)

My buddy who I bought my boat from wanted a new 28 and has spoken to Pete about it recently also. You guys should try and make a deal for 2 new boats. I think it would be great to see him build some boats. Possibly also sell some more...

My budget is $125k
New doesn't even get close.

I've done the math 20 different ways. It's 180-200k on the cheap.

So I guess that lead didn't pan out.

Erik had really shaken the bushes when he was looking for a 28. Maybe he has some leads. Zero or Double should be able to contact him. Just a thought.

I'm sure you will find a very nice 28 with that budget. Something will pop up. Good Luck Doc.

Not to volunteer anyone out of turn but with that budget, Double Rigged could probably rebuild/refinish/upgrade you a hell of a 28'... so far he's batting 1000 on his own Skaters.

joking aside, your budget can land you a gem when it appears.

Tom,

Can't PM you because your box is full. So I'll say it out loud.....I'll pay you a premium for that 28.

I suck at poker :)

What's wrong with the one for $55 in the classifieds? That's a different boat then the one over on Scream & Fly, yes?

Good luck on your search BAM. I was obsessed with a Skater 28 myself this past fall and all of a sudden one came up for sale. The deal was done the next morning. You'll find one.

They won't return call or emails. Voice mail is in French. My only french is "we"
