I recently viewed the underside of a Skater (inboard powered) and was looking at the sleek design of the water pick-ups. Completely smooth with nothing protruding below the hull. Anyone can tell me the manufacturer of this hull water pick-up?

They are available at Skater.
The bottom of the boat needs to be modified.
(A groove cut in the bottom). Its easy to do.
The height is adjustable so you can play with water
pressures.
Grants custom rigging sells them in Florida.
They have more of a curve to them.

I believe the new Skaters are not using that style any longer. Pete is going with a transom mount now (his design). Adding a through hull is major glass work on an existing hull. Transom mounts work fine. There are a number of aftermarket companies for those.

Actualy Jon that is very similar to the way the bottom of the hull looks like after you carve the groove.
Come to think of it that would be easier considering all the contour is done in the metal. You would only have to cut a rectangle to fit it.
Brad,
I am refering to the transom mounts that Peter sells.

Here are the pickups Skater sold me a couple years ago.
I hacked the bottom to fit.
