Your correct and as posted earlier Epoxy & Polyesterhave issues with fuel . Poly-ester is the real cheap stuff and was never used @ Skater as far as I know . You will find many other boat Mfg layed up with cheap stuff . V-E is twice the price of Polyester resin

I think this boat is an excellent value. The current engines could probably be sold for around $4k each and re-rigged with twin Simon or STR engines. The buyer could potentialy have a 32' cat that would run triple digit speed for under $50k with trailer.

yeah, its a good deal.. 4k is probably alittle high for bridgeports and your not going to be able to buy 1 Simon 3 litre for 12k anyway.. the boat should run 102 - 103 w/ 2 Simon 335's

Check with Jim ruck up in Oshkosh wi, he might be able to bring those 2.4's back to life 920-233-3833
Does the boat have a center pod?
Might be the way to go to get a great running boat and save some cash at the same time.

Just got off the phone with Jim, he says they are good motors,and can be pepped up! I'd give him a call. He's the master when it comes to outboard work and mods.
He did some blueprinting on my 2.5's and they ran great!

Thanks ! My Skater had old school hatch that was hinged @ rear so I decided to make a new hatch . The center section will be fixed with two smaller ( 22 " ) wide with built in cooler . Here are a few pics of mold , part was pulled a month ago but camera broke . Pics are from mold made from MDF then did body work , all radi are 3/8 and then used surfacer to make mold perfect . Next PVA then Gelcoat Vinylester , biax , balsa . Will post new pics soon
