Welcome back to our final segment of Power Boating and Paradise TV as we continue our performance boat showcase. After the completion of our FPC 2011 Spring Tour back in June, we joined our friends from the new Skater South dealership to visit the Skater factory and attend the annual Skater Fest event near Detroit. After Power Boats founder and industry icon Peter Lenn rolled out the red carpet and gave us a fabulous educational tour of this first class facility where Skaters have been built for over three decades. It's just classic but it's cellular. It basically starts off as hollow round spheres. Yeah. And they're stacked up when they're compressed together they form hexagons that work you quite pressure to them. They reduce the gap between the straws and they form hexagons automatically. The Skater factory is one of the largest in the industry with over 90,000 feet under one roof. Yeah, you can do that and of course once. It looks like an animal. Yeah. Each fiber just you got great impact resistance, fantastic flexibility and durability in case of an accident and great stiffness. But this is no good for an entire boat because it's so brittle. Right. You're like a window pane. You put the saw under a fractured shadow. There you got it. Fiber glass. Carbon fiber. Cavalier. If you didn't catch that, that pallet contains over 40,000 bucks worth of hull materials. Hard as a rock solid. But the drawback to it is it's has a pure carbon is very brittle. This is all curing over here. That's all curing. Don't hold new molds. Yeah. Those are no molds. That's a planer there. Okay. So a good solid jigsaw and a good planer. These are hatchlings are going in. And one of these decks is going to go on there. What we'll do is we'll take the skill saw and put a 45 say from here to about here. But eventually we made our way to the down draft paint booth where the majority of all skater boats received their elaborate paint schemes often designed by their in house art department. That's what I'm feeling here. I'm feeling this guy is serious about his performance. But you know, not messing around now. This will probably be a 190 mile an hour boat by the looks of it or close to it. 180. Easily. Easily. I think if anybody's got nerve, I think it'll break 200 easily. He's a drag racer. I don't see why not. You know, if he feels like. You know what? I'm the water. Things are totally different. We want to thank Peter Leden for his hospitality and for our skater 101 class, How to Build a Skater. Of course, if you want to see and hear more skaters, there's no better place than a Florida Powerboat Club Poker Run event for our grand finale. For more information, visit skaterpowerboats.com.
