I’m so glad they showed the 18. They really should bring that back.

Man this brings back some memories. I built the first tunnel hull Kudu while working for Ron Jones back in the early 70's. Betty Cook won the world championship in Kudu. Its amazing and so magic to see what they doing with catamarans today

I remember when the 18Skater came out in about 1984ish??? They weren't pretty but they ran well for their time.

My dream is the 588 Pete is building now. Big turbine power and Arneson(RIP) drives.

Funny how it looks like most boat builders so many parts and molds it not funny... I Love IT...

A lot of hard work, time and effort go into these boats. It’s truly amazing!

Gel in color is the only way to go. Not paint.

Good times back around 1991/92 in a 21' Skater, center controls, w/ single Mercury 2.5 EFI Offshore ''''2 stroke''''' and jack plate. Very light package to make it fly the top of swells and with the right water chops, dialed prop pitch, two passengers, guaranteed 110mph with reserve. Factory was well worth the visit, too.

Awesome! We enjoy going to the factory every time. Always some awesome machines being built!
