I can tell you from personal experience that Randy Scism and the MTI got thier first 55' right - runs and handles as advertized

Didn't you lay out $$ out of your own pocket to try out a bunch of different props on your boat? Why didn't you push back on Concept that the setup should have been 100% perfect when you took delivery?

Didn't you also blow up a lower & a powerhead in less than a season?

My point is that all boats have issues. You have had them yourself, in what would be considered a fairly simple set up compared to the first 50' cat from a v-hull builder with big power.

Yo, what's up?? Sorry you missed LOTO. Hope to see you in Miami and for the KW poker run.

And, yes, your rig is bad azz.

were all glad that your 2 mill is not in this boat.. and Ive asked for you phone number so we can make sure that every time golddigger gets run we can call you and confirm what speed it has ran that day!! because EVERYONE involved want's to make sure that you are up to date.

O yea this is from this weekend

Amen also when MTI built they're 55 they had already done several years of cat builds. I bet the first MTI was not perfect right out of the box.
