After almost a decade of racing offshore—with a world championship to show for it, too—Miami's Frank Areces is switching gears and preparing to hit the poker run scene. Areces, who purchased a 2002 32-foot Douglas Marine/Skater Powerboats catamaran from GT Performance in Southern California last summer, has enlisted friends and engine builders Tommy Hofstetter and Scott Wilson of Chief Performance in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., to bring the boat back to life.
Currently at Chief Performance in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., Frank Areces' 32-foot Skater will be hitting the poker run scene this year.
