Default Check out my friends crazy-ass skater boat!!!

Yeah this is on Lake Wallenpaupack where I live. The owner is a friend of mine and does custom firberglass and carbon fiber fabrication. Mostly for boating/race jet-ski applications, but will do anything. He also paints, and whatnot. 24-7 Innovations is his business. But thought I'd share with ya.

Oh yeah btw, it does 120 mph on water!!!

From the front. This is a scary mofo coming up behind you. You think seeing a Porsche GT3 coming up on ya from behind is bad, you should watch this fly by you like you're standing still on water.

Right in the center above that open hull it says "Caution Air Intake" i dunno if you can read from the pic. But it actually does function as an air intake. The boats rides on a cushion of air, and even doing 80-100 mph on rough water feels smooth.

Yep. I actually say that crane in person. Weighs 8 lbs but you can do pull-ups on it. He's working on something way more large scale but I'm keeping that on the DL just in case :rick:

Heres the same lake during winter obviously. A shitty pic but a great view. Its actually from incublinkus' front porch.

Haven't had the pleasure of getting a ride in it yet. Just breaking in a new motor. But my boat only does 53 mph tops. And that feels fast on water.
