Mine is around 480hp to what I can figure, I have gotten best of 63.8 gps with TRS drives and 23 Mirage props, the ride is like none other ... probably the best riding 35 footer made

I will add more hpo next winter if the budget allows, this winter is for cosmetics...

The gentlman that had the boat befoe me said he was hitting upper 60's with three blade bravo props. He ran someones 4 blade hydromotive's and hit 73. We pla
n on adding dart products and a few other tricks to hit low 80's. I read in other forms that it takes alot of horsepower to get the mistresses running hard. The drives are set for more horse powe. If it will sit on a triaxle trailer I already own i'm golden for extra horsepower this winter.

Gonna take a ton to hit low 80's in a Mistress and I would be worrying aboyt Bravos doing it, I would think to hit mid 70's or more in that boat will take 625/675HP a side with Bravos... I could be wrong but should be close..gaining 3-5mph with a 4 blade is questionabale, I talked to Hydromotive since they are local to me, he told me that if anything I may gain 1 mph up top, but for sure gain cruise, 3 blades will pretty much always be faster in these hulls unless X is raised...

Post more pics when you can, I would love to see more of that boat!!

If you have never ridden in a Mistress then once you do, you will nbever wanna sell that boat..

Njgr8ful had my old mistress with 630hp a side running 78-80 I believe. A little more power than I would want running through bravos in a 10,000 lb boat

My Mistress was a SOLID 73 GPS whether I had 5 people in it or just me! One engine is hurt due to a leaky Stellings header. The engines are Hawk 540s, they have Merlin heads, 9:1 compression, Dart intake withDominator and solid roller cams. I have Velvet drive transmissions and #3 drives. I would guesstimate the power to be in the 600 range on each. I am going to freshen them up, swap to hydraulic rollers, bump up the compression and install a better set of heads. I would like to see 80 but I bet it will take at least 700 per side to get there. I have been told the hull will run 100mph with 1000hp per side...

Its pretrty much dead on from research I have done...

mid 60's = 500=550hp
mid 70's =625-675 hp
80 mph 700+ hp
85-90= 800-850hp
90-100 = $$$$$$ and big HP!!

This is from all the reading I have found and a couple examples of what I been on..

my buddys 36 wide runs 80 with 650hp but X is high.... so a lot depends on drives and height too...

Finally got to pick up my new Mistress. Boat runs great, Thanks for everything Fordhipo. Guys a class act for someone to go out of there way like he did for me you don't meet people like this anymore. Hope you get things rolling again for yourself and back in a cigarette soon. Best of luck Fordhipo. Looking forward to summer after that ride...
