Thanks Kevin. I am happier than a gopher in loose dirt. Got a Skater cruiser and a Talon hot rod.

Peter told me he only built 2 24s in single.

We keep these Skaters among friends out here! I bought Dan's 28, he bought Phil's 24, then sold it to my buddy Brian. Can't let these good boats get away from us once they come out West! Lol

Now we just need to find a 28 to shut up my wife. You and Lisa ruined us last fall taking us on your 28 and then your 30. Those were a few great trips to SF. We are not quite ready but hopefully in the next year at most.

Great boat good luck with it ! Could the new owner or past please inform me how the engine is plumbed from twin tanks? Great boat good luck with it ! I just picked up a 24 Skater copy that had twins ' I'm going 300x , 15 inch . Can the current owner or past inform how the engine was plumbed from twin tanks ?
I'm not sure but I may use it as a plug and pop a mold after I glass a fairing on deck similar to the other twin 24 with changes. As of now just a test mule before I comment to anything . I did speak to a very well known boat builder in maybe some kinda joint effort

I will post up some pics of the fuel set up in a week or 2 after I am at the boat again.

Anyone have any interest in my Motion 25? (Not Dan) So I can buy this boat.

I would do a good deal on it!

Anyone looking to buy a extremly clean Motion that's been maintained with a open check book, Navispeeds is mint.

Thanks PD, but I think I'll hang on to this one for a little longer and stay on plan. I will eventually move up to a Skater 28. I really enjoy this one so much.

Hi. You can upload more photos of this boat, I have one and want to see more about the engine in the center

**manuelr_ve** · 12-15-2023, 11:23 AM

Can you give me the measurement that was made to the middle pontoon so that the water does not cause friction in the middle section of the engine?

The boat is long gone.
the motor was mounted in the center of the transom with a 10” setback. It had a hydraulic lift - you could raise or Lower the motor under power.

You will have the measurements of the central hairpiece or a reference photo. I have a post in the high performance Facebook group for this boat. I want more information because we are going to build a 500 in one we have in Venezuela.
