Awesome, I'm a red guy as well. Looking forward to seeing it.

Going into paint no later than Feb. 1st.
Here is the latest rendering.

Looks fantastic. Will you run foot throttles or just hand throttles? I'd like to lose my center console between my seats, go to foot AND hand throttles, and open up the shitty small Skater cockpit.
Congrats on your awesome new build.

 

[getreal]

Hand throttles.

This is a beauty, INDEED

Awesome, looking forward to seeing pictures of it finished. Excellent!!

Should do blue vs red.... i like blue and if i won the lotto or tripped over some cash it’d be easier to buy yours than build new... stunning.

It's out of paint, ready for "cut and buff".

Looks awesome!
I’m curious as to how long it took to paint?
A previous post said going to paint no later than Feb1, and 4 days later it’s going to cut and buff?
That’s a pretty fast turn around time!

 

[getreal]

It was in paint for 10 days.

beautiful piece!

would love to see inside cockpit before the interior goes in.

looks like they're getting ready to install windshield with all the protection?

[lake p.a.l.]

Looks fantastic!!

 

[El Guapo]

Super Impressive, thanks for sharing the build process so far.

They will weigh it when they put it on the trailer.

 

[lake p.a.l.]

Can't wait to see this masterpiece

 

[lake p.a.l.]

Where will you do most of your boating? I'd love to see this amazing new ride.

 

[getreal]

Havasu. I'm 1.2 miles from the launch ramp.

 

[lake p.a.l.]

I sure hope to see the boat & meet you when I'm there in late June for the Outboard Church run.

[28skater]

Pete should just cut-up the old 28 mold! That is just bad ass! Did he sell you a blank?

 

[getreal]

Yes, he did mount the seats (Sparco's).

 

[Skinny Tire AH]

Very nice, congratulations.

 

[lake p.a.l.]

That looks off the charts amazing!!!!! Congrats

Does that have a shorter draft/freeboard than "normal" Skaters, or is it an optical illusion due to the widening of the boat?

 

[DrunkenSailor]

Damn that looks mean.

The "bond line" is the same as if they put on the standard deck.

 

[getreal]

2,650 lbs with 4 seats

 

[AZMIDLYF]

Turned out fantastic!! Not sure if mentioned previously, are you doing the rigging on it?

Yes, I'm going to machine "EVERYTHING" different for this boat. I've redesigned all of my products that I'm going to use.

 

[H2O]

Simply stunning....

Ever going to drop that thing in the Big Blue on trips back to SB? Or too shiny to get salty?

Congrats!

The widening really shows with this angle.

 

[lake p.a.l.]

Will this amazing boat be getting the new bigger HP outboards that Merc is gonna release in a few weeks?

I'll pipe in here. I'm building a 368 as we speak. Skater, by their build process can offer, a "low profile cut." If you want a standard hull height, they trim the bulkheads and lay the flat deck material on. Low profile, they cut both the bulkheads and the hull sides down further, then lay it on. Thats one nice thing about a flat deck. Oh, and no rub-rail.

I've opted for a low-profile cut.
