44' MTI Extreme
 

For those of you that could not make the Pickwick event, I brought a new 44' MTI to race in the OSS Extreme class. Ran good enough to win it's class but still has a few issues to be worked out. Definitely has potential. :drink:

Re: 44' MTI Extreme
 

From one who was there, that boat is the most incredible machine I have ever seen. I hung out with Gary most of the weekend and he is very excited about the boat and its potential. I watched the Race with Scism from a small partially sinking dock with 20 people we had to beg to let stay with so Randy could try to see turn 1. He was right about turn one. You guys looked GREAT, Needless to say, Randy was very happy with the race. It was unbelieveable how hard you would pull CRC coming down the back stretch. It's going to be a great year for You and MTI. :D :D :D
Congrats
Michael

Thanks Michael. As I stated in my original post and as echoed by Gary Stray via your post, this boat has some serious potential.

Re: 44' MTI Extreme
 

Should make the Shoot Out Interesting. You may just have the 2 fastest boats there. :evilb: :evilb:

Re: 44' MTI Extreme
 

may ?,don't go too far out on the limb michael :drink: :D the turbine will have to turn a serious number just to beat that boat.... :eek: :cool:

Trying not to be to bias and be politically correct. :rolleyes: :drink:

Re: 44' MTI Extreme
 

i don't have that problem.... :drink:

Re: 44' MTI Extreme
 

Congrats Dave! MC was filling me in on the race while he was giving me some fillings. Can't wait to see it in person! :evilb:

Re: 44' MTI Extreme
 

Not to change the subject but when are you E-Dock guys (and gals) coming to LOTO? Maybe we can get together at my marina for a few ice cold Budweiser Selects! :drink:

Re: 44' MTI Extreme
 

Can't speak for everyone else but I plan on making a trip up as soon as Randy gets my new boat built. I'm sure there will be several of us make the trip. Hoping to get the boat by July 4th.

Re: 44' MTI Extreme
 

I'm always in for a LOTO trip. I plan on having Woodsy deliver my new one to LOTO for some seat time with the pros before bringing it home.

Re: 44' MTI Extreme
 

Sounds good - just let me know a little in advance. I'm usually at the lake on weekends that we're not gone racing.

Re: 44' MTI Extreme
 

Trimax drives? Same engines that were in the skater?

Re: 44' MTI Extreme
 

trimax's and big sterlings... :D

Re: 44' MTI Extreme
 

Congrats Dave , i just got off the phone to Michael, he just could not say enough about the new boat, look forward to seeing it!

Re: 44' MTI Extreme
 

Glad to hear someone else has the same problem. He can never say enough about anything. The guy is like a woman when you get him on the phione, talk, talk, talk. Lots of hot air.

Re: 44' MTI Extreme
 

At least I have some whipples and MOAC's. :evilb: :evilb: :evilb:

Re: 44' MTI Extreme
 

LOL....well I can't wait to see it run when the "few issues" are worked out and its running better then "good enough". If it wasn't for the rollover I think you were going to lap the field! Looking good as always Dave! Great start to the season and it should be an exciting year. Will be to loto soon to party and support your sponser. :drink: :D

Re: 44' MTI Extreme
 

That thing is sweet..I can't wait to ride in it at LOTO when I win the raffle!!!

Re: 44' MTI Extreme
 

How does the MTI compare to the Skater? Yes, BLee I know one is a turbine boat :drink:

Re: 44' MTI Extreme
 

This one isn't a Turbine, this one has the motors out of the 36 I believe. The turbine MTI is another boat altogether.
Sure would be nice to have choices like that.

Re: 44' MTI Extreme
 

Yeah, Life's a biotch?!

Re: 44' MTI Extreme
 

Ohhh, I see. I thought the Extreme class was a turbine class. Sounds like it is anyways :drink:. Thanks.

Re: 44' MTI Extreme
 

the extreme cat class is run whatever piston power you want, the turbine class is well, turbines.... dave's turbine was really built for speed records more than racing... he will let that pistion MTI beat on those turbine boats a little... :drink:

Re: 44' MTI Extreme
 

Careful there Sean - those turbines make some serious steam! :eek: I know that mine make about twice the horsepower of the piston motors in my Extreme boat. :drink:

Re: 44' MTI Extreme
 

hit him again Dave...j/k :evilb:

Re: 44' MTI Extreme
 

LOL - Sean is cool. :cool: Just teas'n with him. I always look forward to reading his posts. Always knowlegable and witty. :drink:

Re: 44' MTI Extreme
 

Any chance of us seeing a little more power in the piston boat by the shoot-out???? :eek:

Re: 44' MTI Extreme
 

if we are "Lucky" we might.... :drink: :D

Re: 44' MTI Extreme
 

i should of said on a racecourse against the t53's, not against the t55s in a shootout.... :drink:

Re: 44' MTI Extreme
 

More witty than knowlegable. :D

Re: 44' MTI Extreme
 

Look again and you will notice that this statement was preceded with "just teas'n with him". :drink:

Re: 44' MTI Extreme
 

LMAO :drink:

Re: 44' MTI Extreme
 

WHAT??? You just kidding with me - right? :evilb:

Re: 44' MTI Extreme
 

we will see who is more witty after i give the scuba guys a couple of bucks to hold you in the dunker longer... :drink: :evilb:

Re: 44' MTI Extreme
 

Might be worth seeing better buy your ticket. :D

Re: 44' MTI Extreme
 

can i just ride in the boat on the way down? i can act like i am driving it.... :evilb: :drink:

Re: 44' MTI Extreme
 

Of course I am. but those bulges on the sides make me wonder. :D :evilb:

Re: 44' MTI Extreme
 

Yeah - I can understand that. Afterall, diesels are very big aren't they? :drink:

Re: 44' MTI Extreme
 

LMAO, literally. :D :D
