Although
this is
our first
V-hull
carrying
the Skater
name, our
prior V-hull
experience
is rather
substantial.
We built
many of
the original
Fountain
35, 42
and 47
race boats
for Fountain
and helped
to set
them up
in their
winning
ways. We
also built
the first
stepped
46 Cigarette
and constructed
the 46 “Kilo” boat
for Cigarette.
Needless
to say
our 399
incorporates
the best
V-hull
attributes
and is “State
of the
Art” when
it comes
to bottom
design.
So successful
was this
hull in racing
that the
current
39 “Outerlimits” race
boat is
almost
an exact
duplicate
of our
399 bottom
and does
not even
remotely
resemble
any of
their other
hull designs.
What does
that tell
you?
Powerboat
Magazine’s
test drivers
rate the
399 the
quickest-accelerating
and fastest
top end
of any V,
and they
have tested
and gave
the hull
a superlative
performance
evaluation.
If you insist
on a V-hull,
the Skater
399 is way
out front. |
