Serious Skater Visit, January 2014

Some of the Serious News Team had the opportunity to visit Skater, (and others http://seriousoffshore.com/forums/co...ngine-Builders ) , in January to chat with Pete and see what boats they were preparing for the Miami Boat Show and beyond.

One of the interesting boats in it's early state of progression was the new raceboat for WHM. Here's a couple shots.

Lighter, stronger, special bottom tweaks, can't wait to see it on the race course this spring.....

Very clean, very strong, very professional

nice photos thankyou!

Oh, we're not done yet!!

There was a boat that had just been sold being prepped to go out the door on the custom tilt trailer. Skater builds all of their own trailers in house.

Awesome boat:

Even the detail under the swim platform was perfect!

Truth be known, I dropped my flashlight while checking out a trick sea strainer. It fell underneath the Merc 1350!

New 1350 Merc powered Skater.
