Owner Experience Review

Owners who run offshore and poker‑runs consistently position the 50fromSKATERas a purpose‑built performer. During a TNT shakedown, the team called it “a wave‑crusher” after seeing 147 mph at roughly 6,000 rpm, with more expected once water pickups and trim were dialed in. Yves Belanger summed up the real‑water advantage: he loves having the 50 because its larger platform lets him be in the ocean in three‑ to four‑foot seas cruising at 120‑plus mph.

Comfort and layout follow the mission. Delivered cockpits have been cited at six seats (e.g., “KONG”), and multiple owners have converted to seven or eight for day‑cruising, leveraging the model’s added room versus smaller Skaters. Custom details—hand‑stitched steering wraps, bespoke upholstery, and meticulous interior work—are common; one owner put it simply, “Jamie is such a pleasure to work with and his workmanship is just fantastic.” Some examples have even been restored and repainted as themed show pieces, like the 2004 “Zuperman.”

Ownership typically includes specialist rigging and ongoing tuning, particularly early on, and many boats carry serious hardware—Mercury Racing 1550/1350 packages, supercharged 2,000‑hp installs, and even T55 turbines—so service and operating costs reflect that. Long‑term projects such as deck and cockpit conversions, new paint and clear, or bustle work are often handled by shops like TNT, Boat Customs, Waves & Wheels, and Cutting Edge Interiors. Details vary by build and refit; the notes above reflect published owner reports rather than a single spec.

Pros and Cons

• Exceptional rough‑water pace, with an owner reporting 120‑plus mph cruising in three‑ to four‑foot ocean seas.
• Shakedown results hit 147 mph with tuning headroom, and the rigging team called it a “wave‑crusher.”
• Roomy platform that owners successfully convert from six seats to seven or eight with high‑end custom interiors.
• Post‑delivery rigging and tuning (water pickups, trim) are commonly needed to optimize performance.
• High‑performance powerplants and systems require specialist service and carry higher operating costs.
• Many owners pursue substantial refits—cockpit conversions, repainting, and clear/bustle work—that add time and expense.
