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.

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.
