I will make this think look new and will probably keep it forever... its like having a 68 Shelby!

Congrats on the new boat. It's such a cool feeling to finally get what you wanted. The boat looks real clean, good luck with her.

Survey says it is Kevlar....were all mistresses Kevlar? How much difference over regular hull?

Congrats.. the widscreen realy makes the mistress look great.
I have a friend in Jersey that has a twin to your boat. Love the paint.
I had a Mistress years ago that was kevlar. It was a 1984.
It makes a BIG difference in the speed, ride & handling.
When I bought it in 1986 it had the original 330's..TRS & ran 68 mph.
