Hello all, I have a few Skater inquiry's / questions. Aside from outboards which looks like the typical set up, have many of the newer 28 or 30ft Skaters been rigged with BBC power? And if so how do they handle, what type of speed do they see depending on HP? Has anyone thought about a 30footer with 700's or custom motors & NXT drives?

The Arnesons handle far better and perform way better than the I/O's. The 30' Skater with Arnesons will blow your mind how it turns and accelerates.

Was at the Skater factory today and they have a 30' that is getting a refit with 710hp Ilmor's and Indy drives. I could build you a new 30' or 32' Skater with Mercury 700SCI's and NXT drives. Or any motor combination with Arneson drives.............let me know if you need help.
