Can anyone tell me the approx speed you would see in a canopied 39 MTI with a pair 525's.

Speed at the kilo run, Washington North Carolina a couple of years ago CMS boat- race legal and 8,250 lbs the boat ran 129 + , boat had Bravos -

I have heard rumors of 131 mph -

The boat will run 125 any day

Thanks James.I had it in my head a figure of 118.Don't know where i got that.

118 mph is a standard speed/ race set up for a cat lite. 36 skater, canopy with # 6's , stock 525's chugs along @ 124 mph , on thelimiter @ 44 gph per motor, 8,800 lbs - are you looking for a race boat/ cat with 525's ?

mid 120's. The 2006 and newer MTI race boat ran in the 130's dialed in.

James,no a new boat is being setup over here to run in Supercat.Just wondering how it will run.Thanks for the heads up on the skater as thats what i'll be rigging to run that class.

525's in that seem to be such a waste of a great hull.



Darrell.

what year, drives, tunnel width... ?

newer SCL's can run in the mid to upper 130's now.

I have a Skater with 525's and a MTI with a lot more. The 525's are nice engines, don't even bother with bravo drives. The 525's are sluggish and take a long time to get to speed compared to a 700 or larger package.

i think they are racing it in class over there... i think he is trying to size up his competition
