New 38 MTI Exceeds Expectations All Around
 

After running his new 38 MTI in the Miami Boat Show Poker Run, Mark Godsey gave www.speedonthewater.com the lowdown on MTI's first 38-footer...

Hey Mark are you bringing that thing to Desert Storm?

According to Sjogren, the boat will be coming to Desert Storm.

The boat and colors look great! Cant wait to see one in person! -Eric

Sharp boat, love the integration of the sunpad. Congrats!

I'm always jazzed to hear about a new boat, but this one is particularly satisfying because the owner really seems to appreciate what he has. You did a great job capturing his enthusiasm, Jason.

Great story and a great looking boat ! Mark congrats on it must have been a very cool project, Mark I just don't know if I would have been able to have the self control not to drive down to MTI and take a peek to see how it was coming out during the build.

How does someone who looks to be in his early 30s afford a boat of this caliber?

Thank you! I gotta tell you, it was very tough to just go off pictures and what the MTI guys were telling me on the phone. I kept asking numerous people there at MTI if they liked it and every time they told me I was going to be very happy. Honestly, the hardest part was keeping it quiet. I didn't tell anyone. Kinda made a few of my close friends mad but I wanted it to be a surprise.

Dont get me wrong , the boat is beautiful to say the least !!!!!!!! am I jealous , GOD YES , but i wonder the same thing , not to bash anybody Im 53 just wonder what people do for employment to afford these things much less ins and to operate , I am self employed any day that ends in Y , and have never financed toys in my life , people and customers heckle me enough with what I have thinking I must be rich , I say come and see me on a sunday and see what Im doing , if there is money to be made I will be in the shop doing it . maybe 1 day SORRY Mark didnt mean to get sidetracked again that boat is the ****!!!!!! , hell I loved your fountain .

come on now what does every guy with a bad a$$ fast boat do for a living :)

who care's


mike

on a side note is this a cut down 40 or a 36 with a bussle ?

either way Sweet boat

thanks
mike

I know , I could be close to having one of those for the $$$$$$$$$$ I have in mine now .:eekdrop: :lolhit:

Pencils and pens, he is late 30's! Gold bond sells them, dad started company

what do pencils have to do with it jim?

Valid question, I was wondering the same thing. I need to get in his line of business, he does look young to afford such a beautiful and expensive boat. Good for him to have such a great boat.

None Ya!!
 

None of your business what he does for a living and who cares anyway. Really sharp boat all the way around with the colors, upholstery, stereo and power. His age or occupation was never a thought until you guys posted about it. Nice piece..... Enjoy every minute on the water!!!

O K , are you saying trust fund ?

Mark I am not mad just trying to get even because this is the second time I let you do this to me with a boat deal

Just dont think any of your 2000 woman that are starting to show up to use my bathroom or a/c are going to get any help they can dip there butts in the water

well hell your going on tour all over the country never mind

lol

Hey! Mark Godsey works his butt off and has not been given anything

His Dad has made him earn it
I have never saw anyone work as hard as he does

Mark congraduations on you purchase

I know how hard it is to pay for something like that if I had work as hard as you maybe I would be stepping up with you

well done

Not at all, he has worked in the business his whole life and obviously has worked his ass off, my favorite mti, he should be proud

Yes, very nicely done. Congratulations.

Yes, we'll done. I know how tiring it is to listen to Obama say the wealthy do not pay their fair share. I know I am tired of hearing it from Obama and the democrats knowing how much I send to those rotten SOBS.

I respectfully disagree. We are curious...and the expression the Philly bikers use (the Pagans) is ARGO NUNYA, I did like your use of the nunya...

Does it really matter. Is it going to make you come up with some new revelation to improve your own personal financial standing. No disrespect, I just feel it is rather offensive to ask somebody what they do for a living or measure them in that manner.

Amen, if the liberals got on here they would be saying: Mark doesn't need a boat like that, he needs to pay people's rents and drive a Prius!!:lolhit:

Extremely NICE! Put together EXTREMELY well, can't say enough!

I respect and understand your position. I ask anyone anything, I am unfiltered, aggressive New Jersey guy, that about sums it up.

Mti 38
 

Awesome boat!!

Is this 38 OA length or running length ?

love the color combo. Sweet piece.

Smarty, you're funny man. This was actually a very classy post.

LOA with platform.

Thank you. No reason to be a bullsh*tter, I am what I am...

Quit being haters. Some people work hard for there money good for him.

No hate here. Nothing but love for the boat, and respect for the owner.

Mark is a great guy that put his money(no matter the amount) into something we can all appreciate.

Kudos to him on raising the bar for what I consider a great piece of art and machinery.

Why would someone even ask that question? This post is about what a great boat this is not how Mark bought it.I have met Mark several times & saw it in Miami this boat is beautiful! I am glad to see good people have the ability to buy what they want.This is America!

I don't see any disrespect or problem with asking what someone does for a living in a conversation. Having someone walk up to you and the first thing out of their mouth is something like, "you a drug dealer to afford that boat?" gets annoying and old but to be curious about what someone does is just human nature I assume.

A) everyone likes to hear success stories. Young man done well, whether its via a family business or self made. You're right, this is America and I for one love to hear American success stories. It's inspiring which brings me to point 'B'.

B) Maybe some people would like to know what people do to afford these awesome works of art because the level of love for the sport, respect for the quality of build and passion to boat is equal...The means to get there however, are not equaled in many cases. Meaning, what are we doing wrong that we can't afford a boat like that that we all drool over? I know where I went wrong - civil service. Doesn't mean I wouldn't like to strike out on my own and am always looking for opportunities to do so. But in the mean time, I'll be refined to buying used Cigarettes and the such;)

I didn't read it as anyone being disrespectful. Just a natural curiosity. Doesn't sound like any harm was meant.

So in the end, what exactly is his family business? :whistle:
Maybe as a fellow OSO'r I can support it and help him buy his next MTI.:lolhit:

Nothing wrong with being curious. Maybe there is a career change in someones future.
