Have you ever taken a ride in a 24 Skater?
Back In the mid 90's I went to Ft Lauderdale looking to buy a 24 with 2.4 Bridgeports
I was doing ok till he put it in a turn at 40 mph... It scared the chit out of me because the way they lean out and we were in a 3 foot chop
I could not get over the lean out, so I passed, that's why we wanted to make it wider and add a pod for center motor protection.
A good driver can deal with the porpoise with a slight turn and full throttles but no getting away from the lean out roll over feel.
What does you Hydrostream project need did you cut that one up?

never rode in a Skater 24, I understand it can be a handful

the boat is still yours to purchase, but you have to pay the full amount (not partial payments) and ready to drive it away, otherwise the yard keeps charging me storage fees

Noli,
That is a liberator hull correct?

I really liked the way the wide body Hellkat finished the transom area with the extension and dropping the line.
Yes, there were a lot of splash/copies--motion, liberator, predator, lightning, etc...

I started grinding the transom some more and found more delamination
Anyone know what resin is being used here? I think it's a bluish/greenish color

I put a small piece of 2by4 to show delamination

The blue green is just a dye added to show air pockets. The resin was prob a general purpose or a low profile laminating resin. I would reglass with vinylester resin for a good bond.
