Great article and video

Fantastic! Glad to call John a friend. Good dude.

Great story, whole family is aboard that venture!

Cool video, well done.

fun fact…I work with John coskers brother…mark cosker.

Thats funny. One of his (their) nephews lives 30 minutes north of us and the other comes out and stays with us from time to time. Good family all around.

Matt,
Super job telling John's and Cosker's Mystic story. As for myself, I've known the Coskers since the mid 90's. Met Robin 1st, in the NASA's KSC recreation center, when we would both be working out at 5:30am before work. She was working for NASA, and I worked on the Space Shuttle program. Meet John in the summer of 1996, he was working with Fabio Buzzi on La Gran Argentina race boat at an offshore powerboat race in Jacksonville Fl. John and Robin and me and my wife, also named Robin, quickly became close friends, (as has our families) and I have watched John grow Mystic into the incredible boat manufacturing co. that it is today. I have rode or drove just about every Mystic he has designed and built, all incredible boats, really. The SL70 being my personal favorite.

The attribute I admire the most about John, is he is a MAN OF HIS WORD! In a industry that is notorious for shady people, John is the exact opposite! If he says he'll take care of it, no matter what the request is, you can count on it being done, ASAP.
I travel alot with my job, and John/Robin are always there for me and family, when I'm out of town/country.
I'm honored and proud to call John Cosker my best friend!
Mean Dean
