good deal if your looking for a custom built poker run boat, saving a million dollars would make it o.k. if it wasn't the fastest.

not judging but from the outside you seem to change your ideas of boating like some change pants. I’d guess percentage wise with there net worth it might be close. Just sucks they didn’t finish it. But I get it.

I don't follow your post? I think I am pretty steadfast in my opinions and idea on boating. Maybe you can explain what you mean?

I understand where you are coming from TBorisch, and agree, alot of money and time spent, especially to go slower than what many mystics have easily achieved. I didn't interrupt your post as negative, just interesting boating conversation, which is what this site is supposed to be about!

Honestly I wish there was more info about this boat, the testing, design, etc. But unfortunately they kept everything private, and my guess is because they were embarrassed by the results and were waiting for success to go public, which I don't blame them. Hey it's cool that they tried, and if they succeeded that would have been awesome!

I also know where you are coming from better than most after you took me for a 191mph ride in Low Altitude through rough water turning at 140!!!! There's really nothing like a mystic and until you experience it first hand it's hard to fathom!

I think the real question here is if I buy it, will XR's hold up?

It is a shame to see the project abandoned. Hopefully somebody can do something with it and get it on the water where it belongs.

I think tripple digits needs this hull.......his alpha drives and secret HP recipe will surely get Phenomenon the big number it was shooting for!

Boat sadly will probably end up in SW FL at that guy's shop that parts out boats then tries to sell the hull/trailer for too much! I think it is too big (to trailer), too big to run fast (needs 4 turbines!) and the rigging/new power alone will cost more than a brand new Mystic/Skater complete!

What will it run with 1350's?

Very interesting design. I'd think someone listing something on ebay for over 100 grand would at least have pics I can enlarge though! :)
