Went up to Skater during the “Winter Storm”. Tony spent the whole day with me, Lunch with Pete, Tony, and the crew, now that’s a blast. The boat is progressing nicely, they are working 7 days a week on it. The quality is excellent. Getting close.

Patience, yep you need that with Skater. At the New Years day fun run weekend. Ron brought over his Skater. So I asked a great friend to bring the new Skater trailer down to Sarasota for a test fit, using Rons Boat. (He is brave). I measured while he got unstrapped, it looked a little tight at the fenders, so i removed them. Rons Skater slid off of his trailer, then onto mine. It fit great, and Ron was suprized how much easier a tunnel support trailer is to load on to. I made some adjustments to the fenders last week and its reasy to go to the snow and pick up the new boat. If only the boat was ready....

Made up some stringer mount battery holders this morning. The bottoms were purchased on ebay for cheap. I made them light, but strong.

New screen name ideas:
1. Ultra Patience
2. Extreme Patience
3. I'm just kidding, and kinda jealous, what a blast building from the ground up.
