Nice!

Was hoping no one would catch this one.... Cant get much past OSO.....

This is my boat, if anyone has any questions about it let me know and I will answer. The boat was bought in 2004. The outdrive swap was done in 2005. The bravo drives were beefed up and the shorties added in 2007 through Phil at Lip Ship. The boat was disassembled and repainted in 2008. Since 2007 boat has about 30 hours put on it.

Sorry about your loss. Sucks to see this happen to a local guy.

Trying to keep her local.

Do it!!

Went for 25,500

Done, boats staying on erie.

nice buy!! congrats

Thanks, always loved the cigs. Cant wait to pick her up.

Congrats!!! I cant wait to see some better pictures!

This is what it looked like when I owned it. Congrats enjoy it.

Congrats, I was watching and thinking of bidding but the 15% auction fee and getting a trailer to get it back to mass was putting it a bit too rich for me.

Where will it be located??

Monroe Michigan, next to the Detroit Beach Boat club. What is the total horse power in your Mistress, Full Force? Boats in good shape I will probably pull the motors for the winter and go through them. The cabin needs some updating but it's very well set up.

Mine is around 480hp to what I can figure, I have gotten best of 63.8 gps with TRS drives and 23 Mirage props, the ride is like none other ... probably the best riding 35 footer made

I will add more hpo next winter if the budget allows, this winter is for cosmetics...

The gentlman that had the boat befoe me said he was hitting upper 60's with three blade bravo props. He ran someones 4 blade hydromotive's and hit 73. We pla
n on adding dart products and a few other tricks to hit low 80's. I read in other forms that it takes alot of horsepower to get the mistresses running hard. The drives are set for more horse powe. If it will sit on a triaxle trailer I already own i'm golden for extra horsepower this winter.

Gonna take a ton to hit low 80's in a Mistress and I would be worrying aboyt Bravos doing it, I would think to hit mid 70's or more in that boat will take 625/675HP a side with Bravos... I could be wrong but should be close..gaining 3-5mph with a 4 blade is questionabale, I talked to Hydromotive since they are local to me, he told me that if anything I may gain 1 mph up top, but for sure gain cruise, 3 blades will pretty much always be faster in these hulls unless X is raised...

Post more pics when you can, I would love to see more of that boat!!

If you have never ridden in a Mistress then once you do, you will nbever wanna sell that boat..

Njgr8ful had my old mistress with 630hp a side running 78-80 I believe. A little more power than I would want running through bravos in a 10,000 lb boat

My Mistress was a SOLID 73 GPS whether I had 5 people in it or just me! One engine is hurt due to a leaky Stellings header. The engines are Hawk 540s, they have Merlin heads, 9:1 compression, Dart intake withDominator and solid roller cams. I have Velvet drive transmissions and #3 drives. I would guesstimate the power to be in the 600 range on each. I am going to freshen them up, swap to hydraulic rollers, bump up the compression and install a better set of heads. I would like to see 80 but I bet it will take at least 700 per side to get there. I have been told the hull will run 100mph with 1000hp per side...

Its pretrty much dead on from research I have done...

mid 60's = 500=550hp
mid 70's =625-675 hp
80 mph 700+ hp
85-90= 800-850hp
90-100 = $$$$$$ and big HP!!

This is from all the reading I have found and a couple examples of what I been on..

my buddys 36 wide runs 80 with 650hp but X is high.... so a lot depends on drives and height too...

Finally get to drive it home, SW winds 20mph blows water out on this side of Erie. Looking foward to a nice October afternoon run. Hope the weathermans right, NNW 8mph Friday.

Finally got to pick up my new Mistress. Boat runs great, Thanks for everything Fordhipo. Guys a class act for someone to go out of there way like he did for me you don't meet people like this anymore. Hope you get things rolling again for yourself and back in a cigarette soon. Best of luck Fordhipo. Looking forward to summer after that ride...

Run that thing to Kelley's island tomorrow.....!!!

Congrats...told ya about how they ride..... :)
