I have the utmost respect for marc & scotty, all who raced, do race and will race, as you must be respectful of the machine. Have you ridden a roller coaster & did it scare you or do you only call it a thrill-in this context most people would consider them synonyms. I remember seeing videos of marc and or scotty wherein marc acknowledges that he knows each "ride" may be he last. their videos are all accessible via these forums & if I remember-marc may have one of those face book pages with the videos. Most times you take your bicycle, skate board, motorcycle, snowmobile, car or boat towards the limit it will make you respect it more because it scared/thrilled you. if you don't respect it more each time, something ugly is very likely. Some of us are even scared of losing because we are so competative. Marc & or scotty did put in writing, days ago, that they are ending the 44 mti's race run after the kilo's/race here in sarasota & won't be racing for the next 3-4 weeks to put the motors etc in their mystic. scotty said it more simply!

I think its safe to say who designed most of these, but there are two that are new and dont know for sure. they are great boats and i am glad they are building winners whiles the sport needs them. But MTI and Mystic what s the real story?

mccaffertee

Look at both the Mystic and Platinum and then the MTI and Skater - the real story is obvious, complete copies with some minor changes to "try" to beat the system.

Like I said a lot of us pride ourselves in originality, But I guess the density of Air and the weight of water is a national secret along with the impossible to find clean sheet of paper.

Catmando

Yeah density and weight...where's that 36' triple engine 146mph boat you built?

The last I knew someone cut it down both ways to 32 feet trying to make the new (then) "S" Class Rules But also I heard they flipped it in a race Later on BTW I warned them it was a 15 year old boat and what they were doing was too be quite honest very Stupid.

A guy came to me around this time for 10 meter drawings but when he added his money on top of mine the Arabs rejected it. The 10 Meter Model 8 boat (there were only 8 Cheetahcats) we ran in Kuwait was a offshoot of that..

Ok Yeah Cat you ever work out one of these boats on paper?? You should try it sometime and have it work the very first time.I like to watch "Experts" !!

I'm not a boat designer, I can only draw stick figures.

I received some emails about your claimed speed. Suffice it to say none of them believed you.
