26 Skater in Design

[Singleton]

Can’t believe this has not been posted.
Was sent to me by a buddy who loves his Skater. I think he is trying to spend my money
If my daughter did not start wakeboarding last year, I would be considering an upgrade.

Single engine or twin 300’s, this could be a great Havasu, Parker boat.

Hopefully wrap around windshield and flat deck. Very cool

Some days I think about going over to the lumber yard, buying a stack of wood and locking down in my wood shop for a few month to build a plug and make a mold

Other days I think that may not end well and is a really bad idea

Any of you ballers on here want to fund some dumb shit like that and don’t care about the costs, I’ll be your huckleberry. I don’t really have a preference on what to build, air entrapment or displacement is fine by me.

I'll tell you back a while ago I went to the poker run up in the Delta's. There was one of them little skaters out there running out in the open water. It was rough and I will tell you that that thing ran like a perfectly trimmed out airplane! That look like one hell of a fun boat and it was running 125 all day long.

The article states it is intended to run one outboard. It looks like this will specialize in the new 450+ hp Mercs. I wonder if it will get a small center pod.

Interesting to see that they are making the molds out of wood as DBC is doing it the new school way. I see pros and cons to both. I imagone the cost is much lower old school but timeline better new school. The details of DCB are impressive and I double that you can put as much old school ways. Either way looking forward to seeing how this comes out and the look of it. Anyone see a rendering of the design? I did not see it in the article…..

Peter is old school. All Skater hulls are built using wood.
The difference this time, Peter’s son built it in CAD first, then they moved into the wood build out

I have always wanted a 28 stoked to see what the 26 can do. Tunnel looks deep like a 28.
