That does sound interesting? Is it heading for Miami?

David Scott in a full drag canopy 50' Mystic at 208mph
Chip Romer in a pleasure open cockpit Skater 388 at 186mph
Leon Derebery in a old open 36' Classic Skater at 177mph
Gary Smith in a 40SS open/pleasure Skater at 165mph

Gino Gargiulo...................155mph
I would not consider a 50 mystic a drag boat, raceboat yes. Your point doesn't take away the fact that the boats I mentioned are faster, but the power is not as reliable (in your opinion).
This brings us to the same question what will a 388 do with merc 1350?

I wasn't aware that there was a cat speed war going on.... Maybe it's time to dust off the little 39.....:eek::coolcowboy:

Scott's Mystic had drag motors in it for the shoot out that probably wouldn't run for anything other than a shootout..I believe they were on methanol or alcohol 2200+ hp So yeah I would also say drag boat... Gino's boat went 193 or 4 setup for top end ,.Romers 388 went 186 in what 2 miles tops?He can easily change setup for top end.. Jet Set a old 40 skater went 196 on small turbine power.

So lets compare apples to apple's.. If you want to look at all skaters records, wins and awards.. Yeah I'd say DOMINATE..If it wasn't for the 36 skater there never would have even been an MTI.. Again I would have to say Dominate. Mystic, pretty much purpose built supercat that has made Peter up the antie with the new big boys...

Your totally right Blume,... Dominate..

Chip Romer boat had some really big power with PSI blowers. Leon's boat was a small, light weight 32' with big power around 1300's
Gino's 44 was not setup for a short run at the Shootout. The Shootout is a drag race with only one mile to run. Skater guys are so sensitive if you dare mention another hull is as fast or faster. Mystic, MTI or Skater I would be happy with any of them.

In 2010 Leon was in a stock old 36' classic, Noreaster at 177mph. Yes Gino was ready, he knew he was going to a kilo run, has some big motors also and I think he had a bet. Yes, Chip has a open pleasure boat with big motors at 186mph and 192GPS running the kilo. Sensitive, just stating facts.
