But really , Randy would not be $hit if it wasn't for Pete , i can not tell you how much time Randy spent at Skater over the years before he started M. T. I. along with all the endless hours each summer at Douglas and not to mention a 36 Skater he purchased from Dean Loucks -(TAOD ) WHICH WAS USED FOR A SPLASH , go figure !!! Sorry guy but , the high performance boating industry would not be where it is today if it wasn't for people like Pete who where willing to take a chance using different composites such as EPOXY ,KEVLAR , CARBON FIBER , S & E GLASS ,along with vacume bagging , the industry would not be where it is today & i guess the bottom line is .................... he is a PIONEER in the industry as far taking a chance utilzing composites in boat construction and a leader for all that have followed , just my 2 cents !!:26:
