Didn't an MTI flip the weekend of the Don Aronow race/ Lamborghini boat on the other thread? What was the cause of that one?
I think the cat insurance is insane since you can go so much faster with the same HP as a Vee. 1075 cat will hit 150 whereas a 1075 Vee runs 120-125. More variables to get you in trouble with the cat as well.

Was having a drunken discussion this weekend about the speed at which and MTI would become airborn and flip.
i am assuming that that is primarily the reason for the high insurance. So if you can stay under that speed wouldnt your insurance be cheaper
So my question is what is the minimum speed you could be traveling to get the cat out of water, airborn, and over?????
100, 125, 150, what do you think??
some monday morning discussion -
thanks

How is it going Randy. To try and answer you questions. For starters if you compare apples to apples, say a 42 GTX and 42 MTI both with 1075's and comparable hull values, I don't think that there will be as big of a difference as many think. The highend high performance V's are getting pretty expensive. Secondly, there are fewer Cat's paying insurance, so not as many to spread the risk over. Which brings up the final point in that it is almost unheard of for a cat to just blow over without outside forces. As in Sean's pictures, Most all of the blowovers are overseas racing and involve the roost of another boat.I think the insurance companies are looking at risk, and most cats are going to be traveling much faster which increases risk. JMHO.
I may be at LOTO this weekend if your going to be around.

the bravo MTI at LOTO is a little rough in the finish, plus the bravos suck
The bike is getting more use that the boat these days, to much crap on the weekends but it looks like the end of july and all of august is open, so its time to burn fuel
Just dropped my 20 off at Heavy duty equipment across from you for some trailer repair.
Ill bring the bike by some day, do you work in the office.
