28' Skater

[AZMIDLYF]

What is going to power the 368?

 

[getreal]

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

No, I'm sticking with the 300 R's. Waiting for the 1:61 ratio's.

I'll PM ya, don't wish to hijack Roy's thread.

No problem, what power?

 

[Skinny Tire AH]

No problem, what power?

We went with 700's. The 860's sound like a cool package, but the mid-range drivability makes this package a disappointment. That comes directly from Pete. The 1100's are just too far out of $$$ reach. Going back again, June 3 to discuss interior configuration and paint.

 

[HCP3]

How is this badass boat coming along?

rigging yet?

Just read where the Fountain's 28 flat deck is running 119 with the 1.75 lowers. Your wider/lighter hull should be a rocket then.

Where did you see that? I just read 116 in the SOTW article

 

[AZMIDLYF]

Like your sign-on says...precisiondetails, I got the 6 and 9 fouled up. Still bodes well for getreal's set up.

One of mine as well! Hope Roy gets back on it soon.

I've been a little "off track " this year. My daughter has a medical issue going on and its been taking up a lot of my time.
I'm still working on the boat (machining parts). Interiour is done. I ordered the motors (last) September 1st. Last week I got word they will be shipping November 30th.

Still keeping with the 300’s?

 

[getreal]

Yes

 

[getreal]

Not to side track my own thread but my 388 is out of the mold.

 

[Skinny Tire AH]

Awesome, are you doing the low-pro cut? Assuming another O/B boat?

 

[AZMIDLYF]

Wow, need to have another build thread for this beast.

Wow, triple O/B 388!! That’s definitely a first. 300’s 400’s 450’s??

 

[getreal]

450's.

 

[precisiondetails]

Very cool on the 388. Can I ask why a 388 and not a 368 since you are doing outboards?

Because Peter talked me out of the 438. LOL

Dang- so were you going to do a 438 with Outboards?

 

[getreal]

No, it was always a 388

 

[lake p.a.l.]

Any updates on both incredible builds?
More importantly, I hope your daughter is doing MUCH better.

 

[getreal]

My Daughter isn't any better (but not any worst) thanks.
I actually started back on the 28 today, did some program changes on the outboard brackets.
I'll be cutting chips tomorrow.

 

[monkeyswrench]

Although I'd love to see both projects up and running...really hope things go better on the daughter front. Looks like you have the boat stuff figured out.

 

[Backlash]

I know family is more important and I wish your daughter the best......but any pics of your huge pile of chips???

Lol, business looks well.

 

[clarence]

Best wishes to your daughter.

 

[double rigged]

Wish you the best with the rigging and motor package! Looking forward to seeing the results as I am sure Rob is!

 

[clarence]

Update?

 

[getreal]

No, being "retired and single" keeps getting in the way. LOL
I'm back at my shop now, getting a few projects done first.
I did get the motors. I found (2) 300 X's, 15" mids with 15 hours. and (2) brand new powerheads.

Livin' the dream brother! Please put those 300x's on, if only for pictures and sound...=)

Hope your daughter is hanging in there.

 

[getreal]

She is doing way better. Thanks.

Pretty sure this hull has been done for a couple years.

The 28 = yes. Was in the RDP DS booth 2019.
His other boat is still WIP.
Both are works for art

And that doesn’t include the other five he’s still busy building!!
Skater 28
E-Ticket 28
36’ Daytona opening the bow
36’ Jacuzzi/Deck/CC/Party boat (hope he explains this one to everyone)

Not including some other smaller boats, Roy has his hands full.

Sold the 36 Daytona.
The CC/deck is a 37' Warlock (WPM Warrior).

Know you had it sold, but did you get the mcob done for them? I know what boat I’ll be keeping my eyes pealed for this summer as well .

And i was close i thought it too was a 36’r. I truly believe that when you do that one i will have to make at minimum weekly trips to take pics and keep an updated build thread going for you. If you only do half the stuff you plan it’ll be ridiculously insane!

I know there is a red carbon kevlar Schiada in Theresa well. The pics of it made an appearance in some other thread. I’ve had dreams of buying that hull and sending it to @BoostPower for the magical touch. If only my budget came close to my imagination. I’m sure everything has a price, but I wouldn’t sell that hull if I were him either.

E Ticket?

 

[getreal]

E Ticket?

Working on it

 

[Duramax]

Working on it

Is it a new hull, or one of the three that were built? So cool man

It is the very 1st one they built.

 

[Duramax]

The big single white one. Very cool!

Saw the 36 this weekend at the sandbar made me want to cry. RIP Roy
