It's on Facebook ..I actually looked at it... could use a little tlc. But all there.

Skater is not exactly unique or oddball but still very cool for sure and affordable compared to the Tuff 24 option.

I have owned 18, 22, and Z25 Donzi's. And a 260 Powerquest before I went into cats. Have you had any cat ownership/experience? I may not run 115-120 in rough conditions, but I will be right with you at anything close to 80 -100 in pretty snotty conditions

Be honest have you had any issues with your Argo trying to turn around on you? Cats are better riding boats for there size.

21 Skaters can be a little tough on gear cases - and wallets.

There great boats I loved mine But I would take a ride in one before you buy. The 24 is just so much better boat. Also I would not consider a 21 skater a 4 person with 4 people it is a pig and full of fuel tippy.

OK I have my honest face on. No I have not experienced anything like that. Where have you heard that from? I know Keith B runs his Argo's all the time.

It is light, and the tunnel is so large, so I have to be careful of wind speed and direction especially coming out of coves or wind blocks. It turns at hi speed way better than my Trick did.

This was for sale up in your neck of the woods marks86...it's a Predator(24 Skater copy) hull. Contact Predator to see if it is still available. They will sell hull with or without motors.

Thanks for the heads up but no chance I’ll buy a CC cool boat though

How do you feel about a lot of yellow and $35,000?

[Greg G]

I stand corrected .......... $30,000 if you go direct to the owner.

2017 Nordic 20SR equipped with a 2016 Mercury Racing 300XS with less than 60 hours.

Hmmm I always wonder about these ski boats, I was looking into a Bernico before. I’m assuming the front seat will spin back around. What else makes them a SKI race boat?

Bernico in the US? These ski race rigs along with the midship stick, are always set up with ballast tanks to bring on weight in rough water.

Someone else will chime in who really knows but they say for 20' these proven hulls are one of the best rough water rides out there. Seems like a very nice package for $30k with a trailer if you can deal with all the yellow.

I agree, very cool boat with a bunch of trick pieces!

That being said! If I was and might be in the future looking for a rough water boat. I look at a few things... quality of the build and R&D. When talking rough water boats there is only one way of finding what works and doesn't, that's thru extensive racing and beating boats to the point of failure. Maybe a little on the extreme side for a pleasure boat but there is something to be said for having a boat that you know you'll hurt yourself before you hurt it. IMO you need multiple boats for different conditions.
