BTW at first I thought that was DM's 368 in the pic then realized it had the bussel, I didn't know there were two paint jobs that similar on the two boats.

That is a statement and a half! He has owned MTI, Mystic, and everything else probably along with every model of skater multiple times... and keeps building Skaters year after year.

A few people have moved from other Skater models to much larger MTI, but I do not know of anyone off the top getting out of a 388. Hell,the current version of Pure Platinum is the 3rd 388 carrying the same name.

If you are going to send the $$$ on that caliber of boat - run them to find out what you want. Seat time will sell either one for you as both companies have a loyal following.

Great looking MTI! I saw it up close at the MTI lunch run during the shootout at LOTO. I was in the Terminator 48.

Both are great boats and comparable in speed when setup properly! The 40 MTI has a hull length(transom to tips) of 36ft the 388 Skater is right at #8ft hull length. The Mti looks bigger because Randy Scism includes the overhang, over the drives in his model size.

Thank you. I always love checking out Terminator, the paint is incredible. We booked LOTO again, last year was our first year. Wife said she did not care what runs we do this year but LOTO is a must. Hope to see you in August
