I just happen to run across this while headed towards skater boats for sale, and I thought I would add my two sense. I have had 4 MTI's and im in a 2013 44 MTI with 1350's and i am building a new carbon 48 now. If Blume gets his way I will b to build a 388 to run on my lake in Texas and run my 48 in the poker runs, so ill check back in the may15th and let you guys know who I believe the winner is. As for Bob the guy with 186 mph loto boat it is stock 1350's they just do crazy stuff with props. I ran in KW with Bob and Randy and the rest of the MTI guys and I know personally what those guys are doing. As for the guy talking to Randy about the center console, my wife road in it to Boca Grande and loved it, so go ahead if 75 is your speed. And to the guy who said MTI's are slow call Bill Pyburn and ask him how slow they are when he couldn't keep up with Richie in his 44 or Bob in his 48 or Dereck in his corvette boat. He may can tell you otherwise. Sorry this is so long but i read to much stuff from a bunch of guys who wish they knew what they were talking about.
I have no dog in this hunt...We are small time....only ever owned one skater but then again it was the only one we ever needed because nobody has beaten us and it runs ever time we turn the key
It's a Skater Nation....... Rock on!!!!

Geez I have yet to see an mti pass our 388....oh wait there was a guy from NY with a 48 with 1350's that told everybody he was going to spank us at Rock the Bay but when he couldn't and we had it on video he told everybody that I was a dangerous driver and he had the wrong props on but gosh darn the guy had 10 sets with him....surely he could have picked the right set.

I feel better about my boat that I have never run and can't run till March every day.
Thanks for making my winter more enjoyable.
Still can't get over how tiny those MTIs are.

I would say he has more. 1100hp in a 40 MTI should be 160 (and maybe a bit more) from what I have seen if it is running 6's.

You are correct....i did not do the run I just did the start because the guy with the mti said he came to whip our ass.... Hung with him through the beginning and pulled him at Turkey point..... Go on YouTube and search 388 skater...it is about a 10 sec video taken from a spectator boat....he is off in the distance.....just look for the long rooster tail...that is him. Like I said not trying to get in to a pissing contest but if you have done the run you should know the boat.....and if you we're with the cats you were behind me
