48 Mti
 

Anyone know how many there are now and how fast the CMS boat is running and under what power?

CMS has a pair of 1500hp Sterlings top speed N/A yet, but they did 187 in the kilo in Sarasota with speed left on the table because of bumpy water

there is a pleasure 48 with 1550 sterlings that TNT rigged out there too.

That's my favorite MTI so far. :evilb:

There are so many that Gary has done it's hard to make a list. I think Loony Tunes has to be at the top of my list, but the Batman boat is probably the most difficult project he's ever done.

That 48 isn't a theme boat it's just bad as f@ck.

But Speedy will always be my fav Theme Boat.

That's some real good speed with 1500's. Can't wait to see if Turbine Marine will get the call to rig one up and then have that boat run against a Mystic. Might be a little bit of a drag race there. Any pics of CMS in action?....I just love that boat. Thanks.

I believe the actual speed was 188 and change with a strong crosswind and more to go. This was the first test above 180.
Only the 2 out running right now. One more at the factory being rigged and should be at the shootout on display and possibly giving test runs. Two more sold to customers moving up. One will be at the Miami boat show.
I think Randy would also like to see one with tubines racing against the Mystics. Just need someone to step up.

I believe Albert is getting one.

You believe correct. That's the upgrading Miami boat show boat.:ernaehrung004:

Cant wait to see how this one turns out!

Here are a couple of shots of CMS from Key West...
that thing is bad azz.

180 + merc 1200's

1550 Sterlings I belive in Key West

the red and wht open 48

i drove it i loved it

The red and white 48 has 1025/1200's, The yellow and carbon fiber one used to have 1550's in it. We just sold it with 1075's last week:drink: Alberts boat is UNBELIEVEABLE, Could be the baddest MTI ever built. The 48's are getting alot of attention......

This is the 48 that we sold last week it used to have 1550's. Now 1075's.

Few more MTI's:evilb:

And a few more.........

And a few more..........

You sold this one to a Friend of mine from Minnesota. That is one bad ass boat! Looking forward to seeing it in Miami!

Yeah that boat is BADAZZ. One ride and your friend was sold.He did get a good deal though. He is one h e l l of a nice guy and a whole lot of fun.

Why the downgrade?

I rode the boat with the 1075's and its way fast and the guy that bought it is a first time cat owner. IMHO a great step to a cat, it handles like its on rails and the 1075's are plenty for a light 48 like that one. He ran with us (Z044) all the way back from Islamorada to miami with no problem.

Does anyone have any high res photos of the 48 that was at Miami?

Loved the paint on it.

I hope he got into a performance boat school...

IT WOULD TAKE A LOT TO UPSET THAT BOAT BELOW 150
MPH 1ST CAT PROBABLY NOT 1ST PERFORMANCE BOAT

He is a good friend of mine and has had may go fast boats. He is more than capable to run this boat.

I did not mean to imply he wasn't, I just worded it wrong. I've read where even very experienced cat owners say they still learned something from a school like Tres Martin's.

Very True. When the boat was delevered Randy Scism was in the boat with them showing him how to drive it. They were in good hands. I had a friend in the back seat sending me photos and video of the first sea trial.

If anyone knows about driving and throttling a big cat it would be Randy. Can you post some of those pics and vids? I'm sure we'd all like to see them. :)

Still never hurts to get better! www.performanceboatschool.com

what year did you first race a mti

2001 2nd boat after Tommy Bahama.

1st #6 ? I THINK IT'S BEEN AT THE FACTORY ALL THESE YEARS
SAW IT AGAIN LAST MONTH

Its a landmark there! :eek:

It's actually covered up and inside now. Must be moving up the food chain.

44 Saw Your Sled There How Does It Run Now

Don't know, got bad fuel and lost a motor first time out. That's why its back at the factory.
