Wasn't Spiderman a Skater/Cig/Baja Vee venture?

When the # 399 deal came down the pike the whole venture was to be a mold built by Douglas marine Pete's design along with building the boats so Baja could have a Poker run / race boat.

No Cigarette in the mix at all?
Did any boat get labeled as a Baja? Or did they simply stay Skater ?
I thought I had heard it was a Skater design/mold that was laid up and produced at the Baja facility?

Guess my memory ain't what it used to be. Doesn't seem like this was all that long ago...

I think lake cumberland has the first one made now, that was a stand up side by side engine config, with a baja designed deck. However the boat was built by skater. Baja abandoned ship on the project, and Peter then went to the staggered/ sit down design that was the Spiderman race boat. No cig influence in the 399 v, all boats were built by Skater.

To me it needs to slope downward in the back,to flat,also take the rear extention and build in a swim platform into it.

Or cut it off and get the proportions right.

Teach them to climb in and out on the outdrives and they can lay on the hatch.

RSCHP , when i was employed at Skater we made different boats for different companies such as Platinum or Fountain, which we built the $hit out of along with doing small projects like adding step inserts to the mold on this 45 Cig and some boats even for the goverment (navy seals) .

Are there any concept renderings for the finished product and interior? I like the boat a lot but was never a fan of the way the windshields just kind of end.

Baja was developing a high-end brand before they closed. It was going to be called Faction. One was built that I know of- different deck than the Skater. It was at LCM for a while. The hull mold was destroyed.

Are you referring to the red/yellow/ stand up side by side that's on LCM's website now? (Listed under new skaters, 2005 399 v?)

Yes one was built by Skater, and that is the boat at LCM. SKater did the mold for Baja and they destroyed it. Nothing ever came of the so called partnership between Skater and Baja but that 39 at LCM which is a Skater bottom and a deck with Baja design cues.

[rschap1]

Looks like a cool set up. It would be pretty cool to have a one and only too.

I thought the one 399 that was deemed a Cig that went to Chicago area that is owned by Mike Wern has some input from Skater. I could be wrong but it has a different deck and wider beam than any Cig that I had ever seen. This would probably be an 08 as he brought it to the CPC run in 2008. It had 1075's I believe and faster than hell!!! 130's was the rumor.

that ought to hold it's value well for the guy who buys it
