SMITH POWER at E Dock

E-Dock

Talk about splitting hairs! :sifone:

I'm almost positive Dennis ran 170+ the Summer BEFORE last on Grand, when they installed the new motors. It's the fastest, even though it's been soooo tough to swallow for some reason! :03::willy_nilly:

He's only going to improve that number going forward, so 171 is going to be yesterday's news in this crew before too long! :bump: :driving:

It is getting FRICKEN NUTS!! I am with you, I am out. Guys please be CAREFUL!!
 
2,000's in a 388 that thing will actually start flying in the air at that speed, will be awesome to see, wont be much that will touch it.
 
Yeah baby!

Damn right, thats how you end a monday at the office!
 
For what? One professional Race team?

These are pleasure boaters remember.......:driving:

Wrong ...2 teams here are 200 mph plus.
And there is more power here than Grand and you know it.:sifone:

And anybody with $500,000 can run two hundred in a cat pro or not.:)

That being said 170 plus is Very fast and somthing to be proud of.

Less than that in todays economy.
 
Sorry to be blunt but how unsafe is this at 200 mph? Not necessairly talking about hitting somthing but more concerned that somone is going to get airborne

It depends on the cleverness of the Designer and the Builder, they control where the boat runs on its top or bottom! Being honest I am amazed that there has not been a Disaster so far!
 
Wonder who is going to go turbine 1st...

Like Masher confirmed, there's already one being built. :ack2:

It's a C-5000 Mystic, turbines, and OPEN cockpit. It should be really slick with the open cockpit. The turbine will be fun to see as well, but he'll have to do his BIG speed runs on a weekday, or install a 3inch thick SeaDoo deflector on the bow! :auto:
 
I had some thing along the lines of "I can't wait to see the 1st pleasure Mystic out there" but deleted it because I was not positive it was heading there or not, even though I thought it was. I did not know it was running turbines.

WOW! Talk about raising the ante!

Totally, raising the ante, especially for himself! He has been running a really pretty 42 Fountain Anniversary Series for quite a few years. This new boat should definitely spark the fire inside, when he takes that coveted first sea trial! :driving:

The way I heard about it at first, was that the guy had mentioned to a couple of our buddies that he's wanted a cat really bad after watching us chase each other around for a few seasons.

He asked them what he should be looking for out there, as far as the top boats & builders. Not knowing exactly what kind of cat he was interested in, our buddies just threw it out there, and started with the current elite builders & the most radical setups available.

"Well, you could go check out Mystic as well. They are building the most all around extreme cats out there right now, and will build an open cockpit for you as well. You could run turbines, or any other type of power you want".

He bought a Mystic not long after that! :willy_nilly:

It should be a REALLY sweet boat, "maybe" the coolest C-5000 yet! :coolgleamA:

Since no one has said it yet. He is going from a 42 Fountain, a good running 42 at that, to a 50 Mystic with turbines? Thats kind of like going from a IROC to a ZR-1.

That being said, I dont have a problem with it as long as you respect it and listen to the pros as you get seat time.
