Hi!

We have got hold of a second hand Skater 28 pleasure version. It has to be rerigged comletey with new interior and steering. We will have two Merc 2.5 EFI Offshore (300hp+ each) in it.

We would be very pleased if you could give us some feedback on

@ handling in rough seas (3-5 footers), quarering, towards and against waves
@ handling towards the wind and with the wind at wot
@ handling av cruising speed 50-60 mph
@ handling in corners

Thanks!

Cheers, Toffen G - Norway:D

You need to pick up a power boat magazine and look for the speedwear ad. Talk to Dave he races one

Its either that or run the rough stuff. Those X's dont even come close to the 260's&280's when in flight. Too heavy and not enough response.
