Lightbulb What Do You Think About This 1997 45K Skater

40' Skater Offshore Catamaran Race Boat With Trailer | eBay


This skater has no drives or engines, guages. I like the hull,I would like to change it to a luxury closed cockpit and change the dual canopy area. It has some soft spots so it need some work on the hull.But do you think this is a outdated hull or ??

No....but the seats are.

They were in his old boat and were taken at some point without his knowledge and installed in this boat...there is a FB thing about it and Gino I think has talked to the seller who bought the boat as it sits.


The boat is here in Clearwater being sold from a guy that buys lots of old race boats and other stripped out powerboats. I was just there last week seeing what he has.

Cause there is a story behind it and Gino with the lambo boat might think it is the greatest name there is.

I've read some old Skaters need the fuel cells replaced.
