Mercury 1100-Powered Seven-Seat 40’ MTI Cat Could Top 160 mph
 

Very cool, unusual cockpit configuration, http://speedonthewater.com/new-boats...p-160-mph.html

Jimmy Jacksons 42 MTI has had 1100's for a while now....
:drink:

I guess there is tunnel access below the starboard front seat? If not then that guy has to be VERY uncomfortable in the picture:eek:

Not sure what the actually timing is, Carey. "A while" is relative because Mercury Racing hasn't been shipping them for all that long. When the set was sent to JT, I was told they were among "the first." Hence my use of "reportedly."

As I said, the 40 MTI did the Key West run and that was, hard to believe, a month ago.

Let's just say, "among the first."

No problem, Jimmy's were installed a couple of months after the Miami boat show. :drink:

Then, my friend, I stand corrected and have changed my story to more accurately reflect the facts.

Hope Jimmy's boat is running well.

Whats the price differance between the 1350's and they 1100's

Suggested ist on a 1350 with an M8 drive is $203,000

Suggested ist on an 1100 with an NXT SSM drive is $172,700.

A few seconds after this post goes live someone in the know will chime in that "no one pays that," and while that may be true—different builders make different decisions on margins—I'm just giving the prices the engine builder supplies.

Cool boat but that is a lot of caskets if something goes wrong at high speed.

I really don't comment that much , but that ain't cool to say.
We all know the risks doesnt need to be pointed out in such a manner.
