39 mti is 37 and change.... there wasn't a 525 mti at the shootout... the show special was a 700 merc mti which didn't make a pass. so i am not quite sure what you are talking about...???

mti owns the supercat lite (and supercat) kilo records by the way...

Sean whats the #

Skater with #6 all the way

Skater or MTI with 6's. Either way you cant go wrong.

Have any of you guys who are bashing a bravo boat actually owned one? I have a 36 nor-tech w/525 and XR's, other then a faulty cone clutch, which was replaced under warranty, I have had no issues. Mine runs 104. Try finding an 04 skater that does that for 260. Nor-tech is not a skater, thats why they are cheaper, but it is still a great boat, and the cabin is very useful. If you want a cabin get a nor-tech, if you want a little more speed, get the skater. Dont worry about the XR's.

How many hours though???

Hours? 130. do they blow up at 150 or something? They are warrantied until dec '09

I don't think MTI has built any 525 bravo boats, but I have ran a 39 with 575's and bravos a couple of yrs back and it ran 125 first time off the trailer. My understanding is that there is minimal different in speed between a 575 and 525 in a real application. So I am pretty sure a 525 bravo mti would run at least 125. This was a pure pleasure version that I drove by the way, with no tweaking or prop swaping.
Anyway, I personally wouldn't buy any of the boats mentioned without #6's, you will get your money back and more plus have a marketable boat.

Skater or MTI with sixes only. First choice would be MTI.

Skater your either in one or following one.

Skater has the F3 kilo record.
