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 lol
Will be a nice setup with blown 588's there ratman 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 ......

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 . 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.
