Hi I am running a Skater XL with a KB 7.5 with SB Pipe, the hull made in Germany and I purchased it from Fine Design here in the usa.
I have had my first Lake trails and this boat is really fast and can handle turns at high speeds well, the hull is very flighty and your Cof G is important, I am ready for my next runs in a bigger pond as the one I ran in first was to small for the boat even though could get up to full throttle but could not hold the boat there for long as the bank was approaching quickly. My son will be returning to the UK at the end of the month with the boat and will be racing it in the UK,
Regards PeterT

Mrosengines, Hi my son is interested in knowing where you run your boats in Ipswich? He is returning to the UK at the end of the month and maybe you can see the Skater set up, he lives in Farnham Surrey
