Noli,
Pics do not look like that they are from Skater Factory? Who's boat is this and where is it located?

I believe Perf Boat Center is redoing it or completing it?

You're good DR!

That is a new boat. It was sold with just the motors hanging off the back all white. No rigging.
I heard they had two on order. This is the first one of two.
I will ask Brett Miller if he knows who's boat it is or a stock boat to sell.

That 318 isn't at Skater - I didn't know Pete sold one un-rigged. Noli, you never cease to amaze me with where you come up with everything you post!

I think that boat is for Jimmy Liautaud the owner of Jimmy Johns. He has new DW coming as well-If I had his resources, I would have few new ones being built for sure-he is the real deal.

Yes he is. We have done 2 Intrepids for him. He already has a 308 flat deck with 300x motors that was done about 6yrs ago or so. He has a 388 as well. Bob sold him a few new 280 ROS that he had for a MTR or something a while back.
I am sure it will be really nice when it is done.
I think this whole O/B thing really has Pete excited. He always loved them more so than the big boats.

He has told me several times that when he came out with the 24 was his highlight "we kicked their ass"-Pete is a true racer at the core.

That guy has HUGE money - he also sponsors the RCH/Suzuki team that won the outdoor nationals with Ken Roczen this year.

Yea' a friend of mine is in the young executives club with him in central Illinois and the numbers are absolutely staggering. He spends over 10 million a year on the Nascar program and that is like lunch money to a normal guy. I love seeing self made guys live right (that's the way it should be).

Crazy Joe! I didn't know he was involved in NASCAR as well (I don't follow it at all). Those big money guys play in a world that I can't even comprehend.

**Double Rigged** · 10-15-2016, 06:04 AM

Yes that is the boat.
Also not to mention he has a 80' sport fish and also a 150'+ Feadship that are probably worth over 20 million dollars.

a few more...incredible

Good looking boat, but it's not going to set any speed records with all the rigging weight they're putting in it. Unless Jimmy paid Mercury an undisclosed sum to put some more boost to the motors. Lol

Money=Speed............
