Lmao!!

Phebus, you would be surprised who lurks on this forum and who I get pm's from.. ;). I'm hoping in 2012 to attract more of the big boat crowd to the site. :)

Last year at the Islander a gentleman came in with a 328 with outboards and loaded it on the trailer in a strange way, at least to me. He had his girlfriend back the trailer into the water as he jumped off the skater prior to the trailer, he them worked the boat onto the trailer by hand until started on and then winched for a ways and then had the lady continue backing in until he could complete the winch home. Think he said the boat was carbon fiber layup. Really a nice boat, but thought his method looked a little unsafe. Might add I'm about anal as it gets and I've not done it that way. :D

Merry Christmas everyone.

Takes a little getting used to but it works very well if you dont want to damage the boat. The only apparent risk is you might go for a swim once in awhile (only once so far) but the upside is a boat that dosent have a scratch on it. There is no way to drive the boat onto the trailer because the running surface that rides in the bunks is so small - that's they way Skater designed the new generation trailers.

I appreciate the comments about the boat.

That boat is so sick. 50' of grace, chaos, and style all wrapped into one.

Thanx, Seems a little quiet in here, Where's the action?

Well I'm working on it.. LOL Maybe if I posted that Spectre's are faster then Skaters I can get all the skater cheerleaders in here to lynch me.. :D Seriously though, I'm shooting for quality content over flash in the pan drama. Trying to figure out what / if anything we are doing at Loto at the present moment.

I see the boat in Havi alot.:)

Greg Rivera owned that boat for some time. He had/has a condo right next to the London Bridge so you would always see it on his dock. My good buddy Scot Conrad sold it to him.

The boat has 1075's. That was when you first started to see the tunnel extensions on the boats, and I remember thinking how cool it looked. I asked Peter about it and asked if it had any perfromance gains and he said no, just for looks. Beautiful boat.

Very cool, it really is beautiful in person. Yep, thats exactly where I always see it tied up..At that dock, on the right side, if your driving over the bridge. One of my favorites, and nice, reliable 1075 power.:thumbsup
