I spoke to Craig Barrie last week re: Mistresses and he said he built some Mistresses in the 80's with #3s(a??) and big power. Drop CB an email and he might get back to ya ... if he ever gets a break from hemming the pants he's been working on :eek: :eek: :D lol

Will be a nice setup with blown 588's there ratman :cool: I would have to say strong, mid eightys with those #'s ... but only guessing :( Wonder what #'s with mild blown 468s and SSM#3s?? ...... to be continued ...... :)

Re: any 35ft mistress owners out there?
 

Mine was a '78 and I loved it. With a pair of 468's and TRS's, I saw 65 on a good day. Here are some pics.

We had an '84 Mistress that we totally re-did. Notice the Mercedes emblem :D. It was a Kevlar boat. I think it had a pair of 454s. TRS Drives. Ran in the low 70s.

I almost bought one. I had it from a good source that the trannies were shot. So I passed. I think it had III's and 425 hp 454's. At around 10,000 lbs, she was underpowered, maybe running 68. Throw all the power you can at it, and that boat will crush the waves. I'm with you on all the cool teak..really classic! Good luck, it'll be a fun project.

Bunch of flats in Chi town

Re: any 35ft mistress owners out there?
 

i looked at that boat but the trs drives turned me off. i was set on 3a's for the kinda power i'm gonna run, 1071 blown 588's. its a sweet looking boat. but im also a painter so mine will look sweet by summer with a new paint scheme. painting was a lot less expensive project then swapping drives. i look several months and only saw a few mistress's with 3a's. i can wait to see how she rides out. people have told me its a smooth run do to its weight. they told my it will mash down the big swells. give me some input on how the ones you guys have been on handle the big stuff. thx keep this thread going with some more cool pics.ratman

Re: any 35ft mistress owners out there?
 

Jamie is right about those 38 flat-deck shots being taken in Michigan City. Mine is the first one, and it just happened that they got tied up in chronological order. The first two were made in 1986, I believe the next two are 1985 boats and the last one is a 1984 flat-deck.
It was a great day to run.

Re: any 35ft mistress owners out there?
 

Dave,
You were close. The first 3 are 86's, then mine an 85 and Russ's is an 84.
