    Default New Skater on its way home..

    (FOR SALE FOR SALE FOR SALE FOR SALE FOR SALE FOR SALE FOR SALE)
    Check last page of this thread for info


    Finally got everything completed to bring home my new toy.

    24 Skater with 300 Promax's on Sportmasters.

    It was completely redone in 2010 from end to end. Stripped to bare hull and refinished to 2010 spces. Still needs a little bit of fine tuning and setup, but thats half the fun!
    Leaving thursday night in the Rockstar Freightliner to spend a weekend in Tampa Bay learning the ins and outs of runnin it.

    The boat was originally called "I'M BAD" and was an all black with a race hatch and running 2.4 bridgeports. Ive attached a couple of photos that are hanging on the wall at the Skater Factory in Peters office.

    Boat will run in the 120's after the jackplates, cones, props and setup work is finished. Right now its good for about 106.

    Absolutely can't WAIT to get it home and let her stretch her legs on her new stomping grounds!

    OMG... ^^^^ <3 it.. Did they re-deck it? What year is the hull? did you get it blueprinted? I had my hands a few years back on a 1986 24' Skater (back in '06) ran 112 on GPS, with twin 300x's on /Jack Plates..miss it very much so.

    Its not a re-deck. Its the same as it always has been. Its a racedeck, not a pleasure so that may be the difference you're seeing. This one is an '85. Thanks for the compliments! And yes, the hull has been blueprinted (and changed a few times over the years)

    I spent the last two years watchin everyone else have fun while I made drinks and sat in the a/c'ed cruiser.. NOT doin that again.. This boat is gonna change a few minds around the pond this summer.. Everyone is surprised I went so small, but when the Lambo isn't in the budget, a shifter kart usually is!
