Default Raiden Emerges—Waves And Wheels Nails Skater 50SS Conversion
Read the story and watch the video highlighting Raiden, the overhauled 50-foot Skater Powerboats catamaran owned by Waves and Wheels founder Justin Wagner, as it conquers Missouri's Lake of the Ozarks.

It's nice to see that 46 back on the water where it belongs - congrats to the new owner! It was at Chris Mill's shop for quite a while getting a lot of body and paint rework that came out fantastic - as always. The boat is very unique with the two large (functional) holes that run from the sides through the transom. Skater only did this modification on a few boats that I know of (maybe even just this one). Here are pics of it in Chris's shop back on 3-08-21.

i believe it serves as a vent as the boat sits low in the back as the bussel basically touches the water and causes issues with the exhaust

Default Was there ever such a thing as a 50SS?
This is a 46, right?
