This is kinda of off topic but I'm new to this site and I have no way to prove to everyone I'm legit. But, I'm getting ready to buy a Skater 388ss. My plan is to power it with some 6s. I no you have to pay to play but how often do you have to fill up. I have had other boat I could go out with a few times before I fill up. The 388ss has a 280 gallon tank so at close to 10 bucks a gallon for fuel that would be like 2800 bucks a weekend. I also plan to run in poker runs also so about how many times do you all usually full up on those weekends. Money isn't a huge deal for me it won't affect me either way but I gotta admit I'm a cheapskate. But that's also how I got money by not blowing money and being crazy. I could financially fill the boat up every time I go out and go out like every weekend no problem but I just don't want to lol. I don't who you are a few grand is still a few grand

that motion cat is pretty neat.. looks like maybe i just need to keep my eyes peeled.. really wish i had of had the funds to pick up that 1981 wellcraft cougar cat 900 that was for sale a year or two back... i think it probably ended up being a pretty healthy project - but what a rare and unique boat .. plus it had good cabin space..
thanks again for all the replies..

I'm not worried about fuel prices lol. Yes I have money and it's not an object I can afford the fuel. But it's not like I am so billionaire tycoon or anything. I have said for about 3 years and now I have to cash to buy the boat out right. So I mean it took me 3 years to get the money for a boat of this magnitude out right. Granted most people couldn't that in 3 years but that is also proof I'm not just Mr. Moneybags. I have have wanted a skater for a very long time. And I now have the ability to buy but I'm also a very reasonable person. I don't drive a Ferrari or anything crazy I just have a bmw m5 and my wife has a bmw x5 (paid for) and our house is paid for and our business is going strong. I just want what I want and idc how rich you are a few grand is a hell of a lot of money some people don't even make that in a week. Basically I wanna more stay humble I guess and just not roll up to the dock making hundred dollar bills rain or whatever.

Completely ridiculous statement. Totally the opposite. You probably won't find a cat in that price range, but insurance will not be a problem. My insurance ran from $100 - $120 a month during the seven years I owned my cat with ANPAC and later State Farm.
