I live in south jersey , Cherry hill area . I have been in boating for 25 years , mostly Outboards . I have been in Bill Butterfields 28 Skater with 2-300 x , it is was very fast , I think 110 . Please help me sell this 24 ft one of Kind race / pleasure so I can hang new 300 Opti's on my Skater . Right now it is under race boats . I bought the boat cheap and will make the way I want with new 300 Opti's and Hyd / electric Latham steering and new paint for around 60 k . I restore cars for a living , so labor is all me , the only way a poor bastard like me can get a skater . I just cut off the water deflector in tunnel for third engine and also adding 1.75 thickness to inside of Transom .

They were Manual CMC 5 1/2 inch jackplates. Yeo same trailer. Originally the boat was Chin Chin, Al Rullo bought it from him and raced it with my father, then it was sold to a guy named Angelo on the lake. It wasnt used much and he sold it to a guy in Florida. After that I guess it just worked its way back up north.

I am in Marlboro NJ so we are not to far at all. For sure I'll spread the word about your 24. I actually took the wife and kids out today to the Barnegat Bay. We launched in Seaside and went North thru the Canal and out the Point Pleasant Inlet, Made a big U turn in the Ocean and head back. Nice 2 hours, water in bay was choppy as hell (very windy) but the boat was silk.
FF2 LG is about my favorite place on earth but Never been there in Summer. I always go up in the Winter and Sstay at the Riding High Ranch and Ski, snowmobile and all. Beautifull Place you have there. I'll come up in October for Sure !!!

I come out of a 1989 Cig 35' Cafe Racer, 502's with TRS Drives. To be honest my friend the differences are so many that the only similarities are the fact they both run in water.
Don't quote me and I'll check next time for sure but I think at 4000 RPMs I run the mid 60's.
