If you remember correctly, the first engines had a high hp custom built KE engine with vortech sc's that had constant belt failures, therefore it was never ready to run. Ran just fine with Merc 1200's and Sterling 1250's. Other than the canopy, its the same as the one we just ran at the KW poker run.

that speed may be, but the same power in a same size skater will go faster. If the OL is so good why did Zuperman have to take his OL cat to peter to try and make the bottem right? Just on sheer looks the OL cat looks great, I just think that people in general were expecting the boat to go alot faster then it ended up doing.
Can't compare a 38 to a 48 or a 36 to a 48. Try comparing a 48 to a 48. I've been in both, the OL is incredible and almost anyone thats ridden in one will tell you the same thing.
Zuperman is a very stupid story, since OL didn't rig the boat and OL wasn't given a chance to work on it after someone else rigged it. What about MyWay? Boat runs nearly 200mph and seats 6.

He wanted to go even faster than the OL went, which means a cut down 4 person canopy cat which is what the mystic is.

He loved the OL, but went with a more race version, smaller canopy, 4 person boat. Truly 2 different boats. The OL MyWay runs just near 200mph and has so many times. The current owner, along with Larry raves about the boat. The OL is a blend of pleasuure/comfort and performance, the current Mystics have been mainly only performance, very little interior, very light layups, etc. Nothing wrong with them, but you guys make comparisons that aren't warranted. OL's got a couple of cats coming that will really suprise some people. I can assure you, between Michael Peters design and OL mfg'ing techniques are at the top of the class.

Olives & Red Bull out of Jax Fla, hell he got us dialed in and where we're at all over the phone and never spent seat time like he did in GD. good luck will make someone a great poker run boat ,too bad were not lookin for a project or she'd be in my shop.
