Stevie, if I hurt your feelings, go see your doctor instead of going all Nazi / commie.

If and when something happens it is part of owning a high performance boat. Us boaters can find faults with all makes and models of boats as well as engines.
Maybe we should run Tahatsu outboards because Mercury cannot build a 3.0l gear case that can stay together or not ingest water. Just my .02 cents.
Lastly some of the guys that buy these boats have no business owning them as they cannot afford the proper way to do things. If you see seems in the floor I would bet the tanks were done somewhere other than Skater. I was Zero last weekend and saw his boat. There is no evidence of the floor ever being cut.
Being in the marine business I see a lot of things from other manufactures as well but do not share them. All builders have there issues. They are just not public knowledge.
Carry on!
You never mentioned that your's were fine before. Nor did you say that you ran 93 before this. If I were you I would consider myself lucky since boats before, same year and later models have all had problems. And according to the owners, Peter told them their's were fine too.
Kind of hard to fathom looking at spending thousands on putting new tanks in as normal maintenance on a performance boat. If that's your level of acceptance, OK
You guys seem to pride yourself on knowing where every single Skater ever built is located. Then honestly, what percentage of them have been back for tanks ?
I'll say in advance, No wonder they have gotten good at hiding the repair.
I hate to tell you , the smaller Merc's are made in the land of the rising sun. And no, they don't need seal kits for the shift and drive shafts.
Yes, there is a lot of junk out there. We as American's should be ashamed of ourself's for building, buying and supporting those who continue to put it out.

Bobby, let me help you out here. I said :

Stevie, if I hurt your feelings, go see your doctor instead of going all Nazi / commie.

If you look you will see I did call him "Stevie"

I never said he was a Nazi or a commie , only that he was acting like one.

I didn't take it personal, I saw it for what it was and made a suggestion on how to deal with it. IE to see his doctor.

How nice of you to notice that I am a sport. A good sport indeed.

Here is a gift for you that should not only bump you from your Jr. High reading and comprehension level. But also might help you come up with your own material instead of copying mine.

river rat, pass the popcorn please

I know these guys and they are loaded with helpful info, all very, very knowledgeable nice guys all the way around. the popcorn is for the "entertainment" you injected. if you don't like skaters that's fine but reading your post you seem to have a grievance against them or the skater owners in general...maybe both...if you don't then forgive my misunderstanding...but your post make you seam like a prick to me!!! again forgive me if I've misunderstood!

Dayum! I'm sensing some major butt-hurt up in here.

No offense intended, but which one of you Skater Bros got caught throwing the wood to Mrs Tubecarz?

I know Tubecarz was a pain in the ass, but deleting his posts, and his threads, and his account is a little harsh.
