I always thougt that too!!! Until we were in a following see in our mistress in about 5 footers on erie. I was working the throttles to the best of my ability. How fast? probably 4000-4200rpm on the tach(twin 502's). Here comes rice hauler in his twins step gun and does a complete 360 around us and passes us up again! Danmn, I was floored. But then again, that was the first time for me in driven in the rrough. Plus, if you know how rob drove his cig, you wouldnt be surprised.

In all seriousness, a Mistress is a great boat. We had a Kevlar lay-up and it was fast. My cousin has a '84 Fiberglass with 600hp & TRS it runs about 66mph.

He drives like a madman in the rough. Helluva ride!
