1987 24' Skater

**CoolWhip** · 10-24-2016, 08:30 PM

1985 Skater/ Douglas Marine race hull. Currently a 2 seater with hatch. Was mercury's race boat in the late 80's. Fresh 300x copy's with 300x mids that were just overhauled and powder coated running 1.62 sportys. No tank issues has two 55 gallon tanks behind the seats. Boat rides and handles like a dream. Have not really stretched the boat out with a gps but have seen low teens. Last weekend was cruising 5k rpms @ 92 mph with 100 gallons of fuel and two people. Right now boat is running 32 bravos labbed finished and it will turn them 6800. Boat has a tunnel tab. Have trim indicators for boat but I never installed them. Boat is turn key and ready to roll. Has 1996 aluminum trailer with new rims and tires. Boat can use some tlc but is s a solid good running boat. Might consider selling with out motors Call or text with any questions. Thanks 305-979-5259 Blaise 28K!! or 15k with out motors

What's a skater/Douglas wright race hull?

**AZMIDLYF** · 10-24-2016, 10:00 PM

Did Doug Wright make some modifications to the hull?

CoolWhip,

You need to replace "wright" with "marine" in your heading. Doug Wright is also a race boat manufacture. Douglas marine is the name that Skater operates under-Douglas is the city that they are located in.

The motors started out as 300 pro max's were ported to match the 300x blocks and had 300x intake and electronics installed. All work done by STR

Thanks joe I new it was Douglas something. Guess I should have pulled the title and looked at it.
