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

Re: anyone have or been on a mistress @ 100+
 

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:

used bams speed calculator 11,000 lbs 2000hp got 96mph if my experience is any indicator expect high 80,s & jump for joy if you hit 90 plus. good luck i'd like to see a mistress rock

Re: anyone have or been on a mistress @ 100+
 

with all that resin in a mistress I believe it would take 200 hp to get 100+ mph

Re: anyone have or been on a mistress @ 100+
 

try 2000hp Dave you missing zeros?

Re: anyone have or been on a mistress @ 100+

My 77 with the 650 hr. at 71 was on gps so 500 hr. probably 65

Re: anyone have or been on a mistress @ 100+
 

I've got a '78 Mistress, had twin 454/400's, pretty stock except for crane gold rockers, manley valves, and Comp 305 cams . . . nothing exciting. I saw all of about 56MPH :eek: on GPS! Thank god I blew a motor . . . these are heavy old tanks!

So I am building a set of 496 stroker motors, from the original 454 blocks with 990 heads. Engine builder is anticipating 600-700HP in final form. I think with the right props I should see 45MPH cruise and 75MPH top, if not more. Anybody have any ideas on drive height? I was thinking about raising the x-dim to take advantage of the SSMII drives on the boat.

Re: anyone have or been on a mistress @ 100+

Re: anyone have or been on a mistress @ 100+
 

Todd Harper. He is definately the one to talk to about what it takes, cause he tried everything - Seemingly unlimited funds I hear, as one of the Heirs to "Proctor & Gamble". Even his motors are painted white!!! Perfectly clean...........................

Re: anyone have or been on a mistress @ 100+
 

If I remember correctly, he was hitting 106 with tunnel ram N/A motors and #6's.
