Finally, 21 Skater Twin

The 28 Skater continues to impress with speed - I need the guru ( Tom Kennedy ) to set mine up - he's only a few hours South of me.

Best I've seen is 110 MPH with DeWald 14 3/4 X 32. There's more there - just need some tweaking. Honestly I have only made a few runs with it on the top end - my girlfriend is not a fan. Maybe in a few weeks when I put it in I'll go lay on it and see where I'm at.

Dave told me to not be afraid of the up button. Sounds good to me.

I need to make some runs first champ - maybe a few bumps on the up button will pull me into the teens.

Hey Keith
I haven’t been out yet. Frank dropped it off Saturday night, and Sunday she got a well deserved bath. She has been sitting for pretty long time, so I have to play with the motors a little this weekend. Hopefully within two weeks, but you know how it goes. Spring is here so my kid wants to get the Talon ready to play, and the wife wants the Grady ready to play, so i’ll keep plugging away on all.(lol)

Hey Port - what did you have before the Skater 21 ? Have you been in them before ? Just curious on your history and how you arrived at a 21 Skater w/ twins.

I had more performance boats than I care to remember (numerous hydrostreams, rapid crafts, stray cat, few talons, Skater, Avanti, etc...). I am 54 yrs old and playing with them since a kid. I remember seeing Mario’s many, many years ago and was impressed. Few years back I had a nice 21’ with a 300 that was fast, but always wanted something quicker and out of the norm. The twin 21 fits that. I also have a beautiful 22 Talon with a nasty big block/Imco drive - 108mph

Very nice and congrats! I'm closer to moving things around in life to be seriously looking for a Skater.
