Skaters typically don't have cabins, we have done some custom stuff to satisfy some peoples request.

Let's not forget size difference, a 48mti has got to be close to a 40ss, the bussel on Mtis are like 10 feet long!

I've seen 158 in my MTI with 1075's. Then again I've seen 188 in my old 36 Skater with 1500 Sterlings. :eekdrop::party-smiley-004:

What is the reason for the bussels they seem to be a newer addition in the last couple of years. Randy

Some would say you can get an extra 30 on the top end with just prop work... :lolhit:

Anchor is know for driving his Skater into the 180's on a regular basis . A good friend of mine has ridden with him at those speeds and has pics to prove it . From what I understand he has two engine settings and hasn't even turned them up yet .Those numbers are for real :cool-smiley-011:

The MTI can be built with a cabin or without, Phantom,Windship,and all the 36's had cabins.

Sounds about right. That 36MTI is very close in size to the 39/40. And the 1100's make alot more torque than the 1075's. So he's either under propped /geared or leaving alot on the table somewhere.
