Uh..... approximately 2 feet I believe!!!!

haha... sorry, just couldn't pass that up.

the real answer: they are both stretched the 8" (10' 8" vs the std. 10"). one is 36' and the other is 38', not counting transom stretches, like the MTI's do. skater does not consider ferrings in the LOA --- meaning, if mine was an MTI, it would most likely be called a 39 vs a 36, due to the molded ferring/platform, which some skater's have and other's don't (you can see the ferring of mine in a pic of the transom in a thread i started here in the general section, when i was trying to come up w/ a name for this boat. the thread is titled, "the new girl needs a name http://www.offshoreonly.com/forums/s...d.php?t=189504).

Skater also says on their web site that its only 35'6". so is it that or is it really 36. The 368 that is.

it is just short of 36, that is why when they added the 2 foot that all the problems arised with jd byrider, it wasn't 38' and therefore not legal for supercat at the time (they have since changed the length to allow in the 37'9" 388's)

thats some boat. wish the cockpits in skaters were a little larger. the lines and performance are incredible. was it an option to get a full windshield rather than the 1/4 canopies?

You can have whatever size cockpit you want, along with either 1/4 canopies or full shield.
