Skater 28
Closing in on a 28 Skater.
Boat looks clean but I still need a survey for piece of mind and insurance.
What are the problem areas on this boat that I need to look extra close at?

Re: Skater 28
Crawl inside the sponsons and look for any repairs,also look at the transom inside and out.If it was never raced or abused it will be a great boat.I have owned a 10 meter Fountain and a 28 Pantera race boat.The 28 Skater is by far the best.Let me put it to you this way.There is a 37 Outerlimits on a local lake with 900sc and I can beat him in the rough water or the calm water!Enough said!

Try 3`-4` coming from any and all directions.Ask anyone that has been on lake Lanier on the weekend how rough it can get.All I am saying is the 28Skater is a hell of a rough water boat.Bring your cig down and I and 4 other 28 Skaters will show you some rough water and what our transoms look like.

Re: Skater 28
I can vouch for Steve because I have seen it with my own eyes on several occasions. The 27-30 cats dominate Lake Lanier and if anyone has ever boated on Lanier on a busy weekend they know how rough it gets. The only real race these cats have are each other.
By the way I have a 28 Skater at my shop right now that can be bought for a real good deal. A 94 w/2.5's and new lowers. PM me if interested.
