The dash in the 52 is wildly disappointing. Looks like it belongs in a 35 Motion.


***** Nothing wrong with a 35 Motion...

The 52 is a 45' hull, the 38 is 34' correct

The boat is so shiny I can't even tell what it really looks like from the pictures. I'm sure it's a work of art but tail lights on a boat seems ridiculous, and in summer heat that deck must be 165 degrees. Good luck

Just a thought .

I agree. It seems Like MTI advertises 4' longer than it really is with the running surface. But I guess others do also just not as noticable.

What I don'tunderstand it that they (MTI) now has a 36', 38', 39', 40', 42', 44', 48', and 52' cat. Not sure why?

I also like the 38' colors.

MTI has been a disappointment to me lately, here are some photos of the air intakes, at some point in its life this boat will probably run in salt water, then the outside turbos on each motor are going to get a nice spray of salt, which will ruin the turbo and everything else in the engine compartment. MTI didn't start building boats yesterday there is no excuse for this kind of stupidity.





I did like the seven seat cockpit though

Its just a matter of form over function. They are losing touch with the purpose of a boat and keeping it affordable for only millionaires, yes their features are over the top but not pratical. I love mti but get back to the basics. How about a 36 with 565 bravo for under 300k! Still a 125 mph with affordable insurance

how do you use that BLACK Boat in the heat of the summer sun, and not leave your skin attached to the boat?
