I wanted to post on this thread as it was brought to my attention that the Skater I recently purchased was originally ordered by Tony for Ocean Outboard.

So here are a few pics... if anyone has any pics of this hull when it was racing, I would appreciate it!

I remember when tony was the yard manager at Oneils in east rockaway in the early 80's they were a big checkmate dealer but also sold shadows

I couldnt afford a shadow so i settled on a used mate

bought one years later from tony at his place in merrick...... it was early on they were still rigging boats in the showroom

cool to see the activator, sutphin and skater on the windows

I love that video.
Have watched it a bazillion times.

Perfectly rigged, balanced and driven.
