That's only about 1 every two years, considering he hasn't built any after yours.

I think I have the record for time between posts. It's been over 10 years. I believe I ordered 4 of the last 6 28 Skaters and they were all sold out of Seattle or Havasu. David, I had a Deposit on your boat at Skater for 4 years. Do you still have the Manning trailer under it?

There is a 28 Skater being built right now. Boat is close to being completed.

HardRock, Yes, I have the Manning trailer with the boat. How did I end up with the boat with you having a deposit on it?

The first Doug Wright/RGR will be headed to Grant's for rigging as scheduled and we are going to be seeing performance numbers soon as previously discussed.

I was a dealer and when the economy crashed I had a large deposit on a 28 and a 30. Peter kept my deposit for 4 years and also gave me the 2008 price for the boat. I went to work for Larson's in 2012 and completed the boat. I ordered the boat with motors hanging off the back and no rigging. I left Larson's before I could finish it. How is the trailer? I really liked it.

Except for the cast iron brake calipers that stuck the pistons the first year with only splashing it three times in fresh water...the best trailer that I have had or really the best I've seen! Pulls like it isn't even there.

That was one of my favorite trailers too. Only an aluminum Myco can compare. I have a bunch of pictures of that boat getting built if you would like them. Joe Email boatshopnw@yahoo.com
