Good points but then again you know if it is a Cig it won't be the fastest (OL/Fountain takes that argument) and if you have to ask the price............:D

Cigs refusal to use anything but Mercury is what is going to kill this concept. Arnesons and diesels are what this boat needs...

Guess I'm in the minority, but yuck!

if that is the case it should be faster and get on plane better than with trip 300's. Probably better on fuel also. Certainly looks a lot better.

The 39' GTS has a 10' beam.

What do you think the cruise will be for this boat with 520's? I'm thinking 1100's would be the package to have if you want a step up in performance in this package.

I would certainly say that Mystic is playing the speculation game better than Cigarette but when I look at everything that has come out about the Mystic all I see is every other open boat.

I will be honest, I was expecting so much more from Mystic. Where is the innovation? In the build up I kept hearing how that boat was going to have all sorts of features that were going to revolutionize the segment and when the latest CAD drawings came out it looks like all the others. I am sure it will be light, quick and handle well but it is more of the same.

The innovation in my opinion is in the construction, Cig builds a nice boat but they make ZERO effort to reduce the weight, I did the factory tour last year during FLIBS and other than some vacuum bagging not a lot of thought goes into saving weight. But the Mystic design is nothing new like you say.

700's would probably be the max for that hull........1100's would destroy that boat (at speed pounding waves with a larger beam)

I stand corrected I'm told that the new 1040 ran 72mph w/ 4 on board & 2/3's fuel over the wknd.

I think a 700 Merc Cig 41' was ordered during the show.

Mystic has a 72" wide helm offering superior wind protection as well as rigid hinged wind blockers to each side of the helm. I want to believe the Mystic will be first to market w/ power reclining rear facing loungers.
