that was the last one I was in. As in all Mystic built boats it had a very luxurious feel and look to it versus anything else. The seats, my goodness the seats were incredibly comfy, lol it sounds funny but they were noticeably comfy compared to every other OB cat I’ve been in. My only gripe (maybe a silly one) was the sub boxes on both sides of the boat were tucked into the side storage but visible and the boxes were ugly, they should be out of sight imo. The paint by DHD was such a sleek design. It felt big when I was in it, we took it to 120mph that day and it did it on glass water. I also thought it pulled easily behind the GMC 3500 dually we towed it with if that means anything to you. People say they are slow, but imo they are not they just feel very stable at speed. I also know they do well for an OB cat in rough water. I think they have one of the best OB cat’s right now.
Edit: I should add. One other thing I didn’t like was that it had hydraulic jack plates on it. It’s a nice option on a boat for someone who is experienced in using them for the advantage depending on conditions. But for someone like me who lacks the experience I would be a little unsure about using them versus a boat that has manual jack plates and is setup for a generic all around use.

I know I am bias but I looked at a few cats before I built this and talked to a bunch of owners and lurked the boat shows before I pulled the trigger. The first thing I will say is it's a very big boat. The ride is far better then my 42 Cigarette especially in rough water. The fit and finish is fantastic and the paint by DHD is jus plain gorgeous. This boat get attention everywhere we go.I had heard people say they were slow and I can't understand why. This boat safely cruise 90-100 mph all day in 2 foot chop. We run it up in to115 with fuel and passengers with no problem. I am not one to air it out and get on the edge but I ran it in Florida on the test run at 124 and Mystic got it to 128. When I took my Tres Martin class it was snotty as hell 3'-5's and Tres was so impressed he even called John the owner of Mystic and commented on it. It also is unbelievable on fuel. I am planning on building another one down the road for sure
