Anyone happen to know the cost for a new build 368 skater with merc 860s or a 388 with 1100s? I have a cigarette 39GTS for sale and am looking into a cat

The only legit answer is first hand... Call Tony at the factory.

All his contact info is in the "taking orders 588 Skater" listed in the classifieds. He is good at getting back to inquiries.

368 with 700s is now around 800k
388 with 1100s is at around 1 mil

Skater does not recommend the 860.

Should have been perfect, but does not make torque at the rpm where it is needed for drivability, is my understanding.

He is also good at making you buy at least one size up from where you started.

So if you want to end up with a 388, inquire about a 368. If you want to end up with a 368, ask about a 318.

A car, new house or a boat, the game is the same in sales

Indeed. Tony got plenty of practice on lesser boats before perfecting his skills at Douglas Marine.

the pricing these days is up there.... the 368 with 1100's in the classifieds is a decent "deal" at 875K then LOL.
