Spearheaded by Ron Muller of Electronics Unlimited and Skater 36 catamaran owner Chris LaMorte, the first official owners celebration of the Skater brand this year—the Invitational Outboard Skater Fun—already happened two months ago in Southwest Florida.

You might even eek your way in with a stern-drive model as Muller and LaMorte have discussed “loosening” their stringent outboard-power requirement for the 2026 version.
