Customized 24 Skater @ Key West / Galleon?

[ygrowup]

Does anyone have pictures of the hot mid / late 80's 24 Skater docked at the Galleon during race week?....twin 300's, custom dash and assorted glass work & quad matching buckets. Awesome little machine...

Sweet little Skater!

 

[wananewboat]

Your right that was very nice. I saw it out Saturday during the photo shoot. I wonder how fast that would go.

 

[MikeyFIN]

130+ I´d say...

 

[Perlmudder]

doesn't bradz have a similar one? cool looking boat!

I spent a few minutes talking with the owner at the Galleon as he was prepping it for the photo shoot run.
Nicest 24 I have ever seen hands down. the Orange carbon dash and trim along with the f bucket / console set up was sweet.
I believe he said 1 teens the way it was set up.

Hmmm there should be a lot more to that..as a similar sized racecat will do that with one 300Xs once dialed in.
T2X If I remember right took his 28 with 280 EFI´s to 120+ and there´s a few others too with similar setups stating 120+ speeds.
Might be the 28 is faster despite being bigger.

Boat looks really cool.

a buddy with the same package in homestead is running 119 and change twin 15" 300s

They are for sure

They are for sure

often the bigger wing helps...
That 24 might be quite interesting ON THE LIMIT...considering other 24foots do 100+ with one 200 already..

Heh would love to try.

My guess would be around 110-115. It's a small boat that packs a lot of air.

 

[MikeyFIN]

So it should do the same with one engine ?

A guy had a 24 skater with a single 300x. I believe the best it did was either 97 or 99 on gps. I know it didn't go over 100

How does a 24' handle in rough water?

 

[Team Tsunami]

Mikes 24 is a work of art! You have to see it in person to see all the custom touches Mike has done with her! FineLine interiors are the best!!

Your right Skatin. Dave's 24 with a 300 and a pod in front of it to deflect water ran 99mph. The 28, my guess packs more air and is more efficent than the 24. Either is a blast, but twins is the way to go in my opinion. The 28's running 120+ have the setup fine tuned. I have seen several 28s that ran in the teens,but 120 takes a pro in the setup and driving dept.
