I would add hydraulic steering first. Those drives can move around and cause problems at 80 mph.

I have owned both and like both. I have owned and or been in dozens of Skaters and Eliminators.First of all for all out performance the Skater is a better boat. But....for inland lakes where top speed and rough water are not an issue the Eliminator Daytona is a good choice. Here is why. The true...

Wow! You were hauling with that boat. Great sound in the video too. Bring it up to the NIOC Poker Run on Lake Michigan July 15th-16th.

I have read that a jet taking off is 120-140 DB like your post says. I am actully wondering what the DB of a turbine is at idle. I am dreaming someday of owning a turbine. But if the noise cops are going to stop the fun... I have a feeling it is too loud as it seems loud at the docks, but...

We have a 90 DB test in Illinois at idle. I have always wondered how loud in decibels a turbine boat would be at idle. At speed they seem much quieter on the water. Yet at the docks they have a very high pitch sound and it seems very loud. Anyone actually tested a turbine boat?

So the movie is about drug smugglers and Coast Gaurd? Why do they show race boats? I like the shots across the bow in the one scene.

I have bought 4 boats from Larry Goldman at Xtreme Marine in Miami FL over the years. Three cats and one V. Give him a call or email him.

Should be plug and play. Standard wire harness plug worked fine on my Skater that was converted to 525's from big blower engines.

I think some sending units require a power lead also. Three wires. I would try the ground wire first. Check the ground on the tank unit.

I had some B&M two speeds transmissions. Low gear was really only good for docking and helped plane the boat quicker. The ratio was so low that you shifted into high gear at 25 mph. They were not very reliable and difficult to repair.

All performance boats run 1.1

Mike Lovergine will be there as well with this record setting Fountain.

I have noticed over the years some of the Skater guys really get wound up when MTI does something good. They come out bashing and making excuses. The people gave this award. Not an advertisement, not an editor who may have been swayed, but the public at large who buy boats. I have owned a...

I have owned outboard cats (2 triples and four twins) and been in a number of cats with twins and triples. The triple has a lot more punch and slightly higher top speed. Only a few mph. Reggie Fountain learned about this on his offshore boats setting speed records. Three gear cases dragging even...

The MTI 44' and 42' have a 40' running surface.
