Now if Peter buys a home at LOTO and brings a boat to run with us to breakfast then he would absolutely sell some new boats.

I think in these situations, it comes down to more than bottom design, tunnel width, and the blah blah blahs, and more about customer relations at least in this part of the country.
For certain people it is about more than that. I've met Randy- good guy... But for others- they wouldn't care about breakfast... If u know what I mean.

Would some of the rough water ride advantage be attributed to the MTI being somewhat longer in length? Still loved your 40 skater my favourite boat by a long shot.

It's not about breakfast, lunch, or dinner! It is way more than that.
Like I said, both are great boats, just different. Both are great companies, they just do things different!
There is no wrong answer here, fortunately for all of us.

Well to a casual observer.....

Batman has an MTI
Darr has a Skater
Randy will come to breakfast
Skater has Skaterfest
MTI builds fast car themed boats
Skater builds fast boats

Both are beautiful!

SO, Ride in a new 46 skater with 1350's, I've been in a new 48 MTI, compare apples to apples, just saying, LOL. Enjoy your new boat, turned out awesome

I realize it's not apples to apples, that's what I said in the original post. Skater has some new things coming out that will be outstanding! The 52 they built is an incredible machine.
Their interiors have come a long way in the last few years as well. Like I said, they are both great boats.
That said, I have owned a DCB, a Skater, and now a MTI. I obviously don't drink the Kool-aid like others regarding any manufacturer. I buy what I like and I like them all! Lol
Who knows, maybe the next one will be a Mystic!
I will say MTI does have the edge on interior comfort and features right now.
