    Back in the 90's there was a RC Skater model called Water Heater that had the same colors as our 32' Skater Eastern Express. The OPT 32' Skater with Outboards [Waterheater] was raced by Alan Shapiro in 1989. I think the model company mixed our paint colors with Alans 32' OB Skater cat.

    Not that it matters, but I thought that was Breakaway with John D'Elia's son JD in the boat? Or maybe that was another instance...

    If it is the one I am thinking of then you are correct. That was JD and Brad in Long Island.
