Relentless 36 Skater is such a great boat & does everything well. The dash, deck & rear seat were all done so everyone in the boat has full view forward & out to the sides. Cruise under the hop below 70 or bump it up to 90 & let that hull eat.
Looking forward to another fantastic day with great weather

Post some pics of the lake, it looks like a pretty cool place with sandy beaches.
This is the lake we boat on now since we moved to Texas a couple year's ago. Big lake which is good so you can get away from the party areas and have fun boating. Weather blows on and it can get really big and nasty quick kind of like Powell so you need to keep your eyes on the weather but plenty of places to hide until things blow over. There are some good size Yatch's out there so in the main part of the lake you need to be paying attention for the 5' rollers that come through LOL. These pictures are of a couple

Island's in the middle of the lake and really fine soft sand. Nice to hang out on from time to time but it is also where all the Yatch's park for the weekends.

Tell us about the exhaust setup on Yahoo. It looks like it comes off the turbos and exits from the back of the cowlings? I did a Google image search on the boat and saw where it had traditional transom exhaust, but now covers have been installed. Must sound amazing. Can you capture us some video of it running?

Funny as hell. Looking at pics of "Relentless", and thinking to myself "that has to be the fastest boat ever to be in Prescott Valley...."

So, @lake p.a.l. , if it can do high 120's with the current setup, what should it do with 1100's? That seems a healthy bump.

He wants to be capable of cruising 120-130 & not be "on the mat"
He says he doesn't care about a big # but I'm not certain I believe that

RP Elite (Skater dealer) did an amazing job setting up & sponsoring this entire weekend. MacKenzie, Ross & their staff could not be more caring & always wanted to help everyone. Incredible weekend.
Headed for home soon, just under 8 hours

Correct these pic's are from north island which is called family island and a little more mellow. The south islands are more of party islands / area. We like the north islands the best and the sand beaches.

Hanging with Peter Hledin, founder of Skater, never gets old. His stories & incredible knowledge are exceptional.
Had a FANTASTIC trip & really enjoyed the laid back vibe

Yesterday morning before we left.
Got the 36 tucked away in F14's shop. The 700s ran perfectly all year. They are for sale if anyone is interested. I will get a price today. Headers & exhaust staying with the boat.
