[ar15meister]

Anyone know this boat?

Whats the deal?

Got a buddy who is looking at the boat and interested.

Also whats the deal with the Skater fuel tanks?

 

[Perlmudder]

do a search for it here, there was a thread on it being at NL and about the paint while you were in KW. hope you had a good time!

 

[ar15meister]

cant find it.

I have a friend who is interested in the boat and he isnt big on computers so I am posting on his behalf.

What kind of shape is it in?

I read somewhere that it had some issues with a hop due to it being built for surface drives and running 6's which required some 'flaps' to make the boat run right. thats what I am trying to figure out.

I saw the boat a couple months ago and the paint is all cracked up . Looks pretty rough up close. Jeff Wurl

So instead of trying to figure things out why not call 269-857-4308 and talk with Peter and get the facts that you need to know . I have to say that he will be more then happy to answer any questions you have .

Saw scaredy cat yesterday. That is not paint blistering, that is the gel. Rougher shape than i expected. Lots of scrapes and dings. good project boat for someone who has the resources. Will cost some good money to get in good running shape. Not for me

I thought skaters were painted, not gelcoat???

 

[DrGaryDC]

Whatever they are made of, you can put your fingernail into the cracks

They do have gel coat. But then since most custom paint is clear coat the final layer is clear coat. And most skaters are custom painted.

Is that boat the same model as yours ?

Every boat ( hull ) is first sprayed in the mold with jellcoat and a very thin one at that, and then Poly bond is sprayed on top of the jell inside the mold so the epoxy will bond to the jell. When i was employed at Skater it was not on common to see Pete spray jell in the molds and in fact he was the only one .

Doc i have to say that what you thought you saw was not jell and just curious could it have been a filler , primer , or ...................... Doc seeing that most decks are all custom and have no jell on them at all that means the only cracks you could have seen would have been in the glass , filler , chesse cloth , primer or paint . Doc in my opinion that boat must have had the HELL beat out of her like General Lee said .

Dang :ack2:

They must have beat the HELL out of it. I've had mine in ALL kinds of water conditions for long periods of running time, and don't have a single stress crack anywhere. I even had them reclear the boat with 7 coats last Winter, and they commented on how the boat was already in such great shape as far as wear & tear.

There are other, better ones out there. Just take your time until the right one pops up! :cheers2:

 

[plumbers crack]

He has looked at all of them.Stress cracks? wonder why? look at the bahama photo's that might shed some light .That boat was beat down, but for 75k you still kicking the tires?

I would not shy away from that boat everyting can be redone.put 125 into it and you got a deal.:sifone:Call kenny buy the parts.:sifone:

I will tell you this............my deck was f*cked, actually, everything was. My boat spent almost 8 months at Skater, but it came back brand new. Complete new deck (not fixed, I mean NEW), 50% of the bottom new, new style water pickups, tanks, interior, hatches, trailer...new...new...new. I could not be happier. Exactly how I wanted it!:driving:

You do all that on this boat and you will STILL be in it good.:cheers2:
