I've seen 158 in my MTI with 1075's. Then again I've seen 188 in my old 36 Skater with 1500 Sterlings.

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...

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

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.

My MTI is a 40, just a SMALL 40. Lol
