A 4 stroke O/B will never bring the smile from the sound of twin 2.5's running hard in harmony (Don't care who you are) but quads are just over the top.......Definitely a special boat!

D. Mercury - how have the center gear cases held up over the years? referring to a comparison of a triple rigged 32' or 28' that has unprotected gear cases on the mid engine that just take an ABSOLUTE beating....

thanks Dave, I think there’s more speed to be had if I could get the hook out of the rear running surface. Just not enough time to devote to it lately.
didnt want to ask if there’s a chance you’d have time to think about this. Notice how unusually flat it flies at 122.

It’s not a good test compared to offshore use.
There has been other trauma for those center gearcases in the way of hitting submerged lumber that caused extensive damage to props, propshafts and skegs that I’ve had to turn to Craig Collabella for mercy.
The good news is Craig set me up with some brand new cases and BBLADES with resurrecting the bent props.
i am hoping to get the Skater back out before the end of the season and see how it is all affected.

I missed this post Bonz! We like to go to the Pizza Cottage after boating at Buckeye lake. They’ve got a big parking lot which means a lot towing the Skater.
It’s a Sunday thing. Sorry to have missed meeting your sis!
