He probably was more interested in promoting his own brand and if the repair had any problems it would be a negative against him. Some times you need to hold them, some times you need to fold them. Plus the Norway team had a race in a couple of weeks after this. Being able to pull a mould off of this hull to make it easier to repair with the help from a few of the Victory guys. Still impressive, but apples and oranges...

Mystic also went ahead and outright replaced the original JBS hull (not boat) vs. repair the damage.

Running at 200mph is not the time to question if the crew doing the repair actually knew what they were doing and FIXED the full extent of the delam

First of all i would like to say that John Cosker seems like a nice guy, but he has been a bit classless in my opinion. First he scanned the Tencara where he made some minor adjustjustments and then he claimed the Mystic C5000 was entirely his work and denied the mold was a scan from the Tencara, then we had this story with the JBS Mystic. Doesn`t sound like a great "Naval architect" to me.

replaces the hull and is classless? Wow! Because he was the only person in the industry to tweak/improve a hull? Jeff had so much drama, couldn’t even buy himself a reality show...

I did not write that it was classless of Cosker to take a mold of another boat that has happened thousands of times before, but i think it`s classless to claim that the boat was his design and denying the fact that the Mystic C5000 was a copy of the 43 Tencara. Dave Scott once said the reason as to why he decided to order his C5000 was because the design was based on the Callan Marine Tencara. I agree that Jeff overreacted a bit, but i think most if not all would have been pissed by shuch a ****ty treatment.

BTW - the 50'performance report card is one helluve tweek imho if that is all the credit John deserves

.... besides, I always thought it was that the mentor is supposed to be exceeded by the student just as the next gen of high performance boat/ car or ??? is supposed to exceed the safety and performance targets of its predecessor..even for the damage that MY WAY incurred hitting the cruiser wake - it's still running hard but the damage wasn't on the running surface if I remember correctly like the Tencara has

lmfao on the jbs part. I think he is still waiting on that ten million dollar check from a tiki bar.

ive searched but can’t find any of the old threads on the callan/Cosker split. any chance anyone can find any of them? it’s messier than Apache.

right? it’s been sitting there rotting for 15 years. like someone said earlier, for free would be a cool conversation piece as a bar or something of the sort.
