Skater 388 vs Outerlimits

Hudson river fun run to lunch

[@karlgrimm7200]

How effortlessly this boat sits at 120mph, and easily accelerates further up to 150. This is an impressive advertisement for Skater. Those motors make this thing handle like an 18 foot ski boat, at 3 times the size and speed. Thanks for uploading this inspirational footage.

[@signoresantinoburnett1169]

It sits effortlessly because the water is glass. Put that Skater at 120mph in 4 footers. Hahaha.

[@ScottR69u]

Don't get me wrong both badass boats but this skater must have 1550's outer limits 1075's the way this boat toys with him is awesome! Great video

[@callisto8232]

The sheer power is incredible..LOVE THIS VIDEO no music or BS...just the sound of a beautiful machine

[@tylerarrigoni7700]

[@fuxu247]

You right!

[@nordschleife-motorsport]

thx for this pure upload with no music ... two great boats

[@troyledbetter6597]

Beautiful boat! I never get tired of seeing and listening to it.

[@georgewaters8592]

Yeah baby, 151 mph !! Wonder what rpms are the engines turning there....

[@Stan-zr6yt]

Both boats going over 145. Great to watch and listen to. Thanks.

[@bernardwarr4187]

Absolutely incredible, the work and investment to get ready for this run. Looks like you hit your goal 👍

[@MrDavidelliottjr]

Very nice. This boat and these engines are amazing. Thanks for sharing

[@karlk6860]

YES there were greatly excessive amounts of HI OCTANE fuel burned in the filming of this epic video and no matter what the cost it was worth every penny!!!!!

[@cpnmikes]

Amazing.. I had a Chaparral Villain 4 with twin 454's, a 70 mph boat not in your league, but fun! I miss those days sure is fun to watch this.. would enjoy a drivers view of this run! Thanks for sharing the dream keep the vids coming..

[@karl-udobecher8003]

151 mph wow nice driving guys, that boat is awesome, looks like you have the right engine choice

[@kne2323]

150+ and still pulling hard! Unreal machine! Fantastically exciting video!

[@bradcranford2264]

Incredible. What was the distance covered during the length of the video?

[@dabomb6638]

guessing it would be about 30-35 miles in the video

[@roberteastern2397]

Awesome! Like around the 4 minute when you started to apply the power! Hammer Down!!

[@dieseldog00]

OL did a good job staying with the cat. He was running 125-130 when the cat went up to 150. In further news, a 43 Outerlimits set the world record for V bottoms at 180.41 running Merc 1650s. A 44MTI ran 193 with Sterling 1550s which I thought was incredible speed for the power involved.

[@mikeyv6civiccl-type-s554]

On the hudson river too!!!!! dam I wish I could of been out in the boat that day!!!!! Power and beauty flying up the river that day 100%

That beast slides like she right at home at 120 sick ride love too go that fast on water one time my bucket list ! Thank you

[@music65617]

what kind of rpm are you running at 115/120?

[@michigantoga]

Great vid, no music, just horsepower! Acceleration is stupid crazy!

[@eddiesboatdetailz6970]

I've been 165 in a M41 DCB with Mercury 1350s it was amazing.

[@thunderpants007]

150 for most Skater's is a cruise! He had plenty more revs to play with. I would hat to be in one of those small boats going in the opposite direction!

[@Driv200mph]

WOW! Epic run. And E85 cool! Saving the environment one Skater at a time. Nice!!!!!!! I want one, but my slip is only 40'.

[@dieseldog00]

This is a 388 so I don't see why it won't fit in a 40' slip. Maybe you joke with us?

[@kneedragger1885]

To have a boat like that and be able to do 150 plus that'd be a dream for me

[@thrillamoe50]

love this vid man, no music all badass roostertails and sound. Do you haul this with a tilt trailer? and will you be dropping more vids of the boat?

[@dabomb6638]

I have a tilt and a flat trailer. Depending when I'm headed is what one I use. Search c12lamorte channel. He has been making all the videos with cameras off a few of our boats

Awesome run ! Can't believe how long you just cruised at 120...and the acceleration to 150 is incredible. That Outerlimits had to be running close to 130 for a bit. Where was this at ?

Incredible how fast these boats are now, didn’t realise they are that quick , 150 mph ! 👍🙂

[@dieseldog00]

Gino Gargiulo's 44MTI ran 193 with 1550s. If this Skater matches the power I don't see why it won't get close to the MTI...

[@sidneywinston8635]

That 388 just rules.

[@music65617]

at 6:54 - is that the mid-hudson bridge near poughkeepsie? Thats the only spot on the Hudson I recognize that has two bridges close together, at least below Albany

[@railroaddoesntcare9733]

I was going to say the same thing. I go under that all the time on my boat.

[@chrisg268]

Effortless acceleration ... Pure adrenaline dump !!!

[@brandonthorbahn2405]

Outer limits just couldn’t get by him. Very cool video.

[@MitzvosGolem1]

RPM not so high under 6000 ... awesome. In 80s 9000 rpm motors would blow up. 575 or 625 BBC supercharged? We had 496 BBC mercruiser ssp 3 back then 120 was the goal.

[@nicoo3057]

A catamaran vs a monohull . Why don’t they post a video of a outerlimits cat vs a skater cat …? Very impressed with how a mono hull outer limits stayed with the cat ! Makes me want a outerlimits .

[@ohUredneck]

Yeah, we're cook'n with bacon now. Very cool!

[@dominicksforza3484]

This is insane, just a quiet cruise at 125+mph... WOW!! What a rush that must bethe other boat is no slouch either, running over 120mph itself.

[@dieseldog00]

If that OL had trip 1350s it would get past 150.

[@Ring0--]

Skater vs Outerlimits. Gentlemen, I could care less of who is faster. That Outerlimits has amenities chicks Love.

[@caiow.villares7348]

Crazy stuff!

[@anthonyburlison2044]

Amazing how fast he goes from 120 to 150. This boat must top out at 180 at least.

Is this a SC46 Outerlimits catamaran vs the Evil and no holds barred Skater 388, what’s powering both? Your skater as you know is insane, should be called Good Luck

[@dieseldog00]

I got a look at the bow cause I was also wondering and it looks like a V bottom. A 43 OL set the top speed of Vs with a 180.47 pass on LOTO. Had Merc 1650s. Boat was laid up very light.

[@GSXRDAVE73]

That is Dropping the HAMMER!!!!!!!!!

[@ynotdrappehs7440]

How much did that cost$$$$ fuel wow fst as fck. The V was doing pretty well and looked so stable.

Best performance cat made. The 388 is just perfection, and I am not even really a fan of Cats. I prefer classic V hull with twin 1350's.

[@scottdemaro322]

Question on the gauge on the right which is not the speedometer but the other that show’s measuring FT... what is this is it trim or what is it measuring I can not figure it out and it being a negative all the time makes me think it’s the drive trim but heck IDK lol someone tell me I’m ignorant on this situation! All I know is I want this boat or these motors for my boat lol

[@yelyab1]

It’s elevation, which is prone to inaccuracy. Since the river feeds into the ocean the average elevation above “0” is about 50’. Don’t know if there are any big power dams down stream that raise the level of the of river. Marine nav systems usually don’t give altitude, they give water depth, but I think the boat out runs the return signal from the bottom at 100mph. The guys at Garmin never anticipated people looking at water depths over 100mph. You either know it or you don’t know your course ahead of these men behaving badly. Wish I was there. Toured the Skater plant in Douglas, Mi about 20 years ago. Almost got thrown out. Too many questions.
