anyone have or been on a mistress @ 100+
 

i'm going to have my 1979 35ft mistress finished soon. im running 1000hp 588's with ssm#3a's and im hoping to hit 100mph was wondering if anyone here owns or has been on a mistress with this kind of big power and 100MPH speeds. was wondering how this puppy is gonna handle at that kinda speed. thanks for any info. ratman

My guess is that it would be squirrely...mine does 70 and is at that speed...whole different attitude in a flat deck

I have been on the Team Extreme Mistress that Tres Martin Built at around 95mph a few years back in 1 footers and it was a handfull, but I wasnt driving either so I am not sure how it felt to the driver, but it was still pretty fun!

My motors are 502's and are just a little over 500hp each...great boat and for sale..movin up to a FD or Apache...the boat belonged to Randy Lanier

Good luck reaching 100MPH in the real world with a full pleasure Mistress :rolleyes: . These are incredible boats in the rough, but they are not what I would consider SUPER FAST hulls. They were designed and built to run through anything....not set speed records under perfect conditions.

There were a few light kevlar race boats with no cabin liners, 3 man bolsters, and a different COG that did haul a$$. You should have bought a stepped Fountain or Hustler, etc. if you wanted 100MPH glory.

Enjoy the boat for what it is and let us know what the GPS actually reads on a regular basis when you're done. 80 - 85 MPH is not bad in a 35 Mistress.

Good luck :drink:
