Wonder what's next?
X2 the owner is a baller in his own class. Thats his second Vette MTI.
WTF??? Is that a giant bird shit on the deck and windshield?

I wonder if it's an infused hull.
Can u guys imagine trying to walk on,, or touch a black boat in Havasu in July or August?...
If you don't have 1.7mil there's always this deal at 1.3mil

Not bad at DS he said he paid 2.2 wonder how many times he used it since then. over $100K loss each time he drove it.
Just checked both these were new at DS. this one was big ass football player. Black boat whats he do?
That rig is about $1m overpriced....
I take it you haven't seen it in person
The Vette Boat looked horrible at DS this year. I don't know who he payed to detail it, but the swirl marks were insane. No way I would have a boat of that caliber and size and not do graphics of some sort.
X2Saw the last one he had, all in all just a complete waste of money. You could have the best Skater ever built for under $1m. All the lights, speakers and customization can certainly be appreciated, but truly holds little to no value.

I think for these guy's the fun in it is building the boats. Once there done they use them a couple of times and get bored. So they build another. I wonder what it would be like to have more money than God? :headscratch:

I'm guessing that the LED lights on the trailer cost more than my entire boat!
Horrible is the wrong word. Its a 48MTI, so its still amazing.. Did I see the swirl marks, yes I did, and I didnt think it looked perfect in the sun, but then again, look at the size of it?... its very difficult to detail a boat that big and that black, and have everything perfect.. Anyone's thats owned a black truck/car knows how frustrating it is. If its used, it will never look perfect... He had already put that boat in the salt prior to DS, so the cleanup looked great to me... This is a 48ft boat.. And he drove it 3days to get there from OK..
He doesn't put graphics on his boats.. .. Its a ZR1 Corvette theme boat, its supposed to have that sleek, black, fast look...His other MTI44, was all red, still a corvette boat, but with 1200s, ZR48 has 1350s..
Please don't this the wrong way, just my opinion on that ZR48.
PR388 I understand you have an opinion as well. Mine was and still is the finish on that is horrible, therefore to me that is the right word. If the man can afford a multi million dollar package he can afford to spend several thousand on the upkeep. I have built and been around show cars a good part of my life and you can make and keep a black finish like a mirror with enough work. I know guys that could make that boats finish look like a mirror again with enough time and money. Knowing what I know I would never have a black boat. Too hot in Havasu and too much of a pain (maintenance/cost)to keep looking good.
Now the design and hardware of the boat is as you say amazing. No doubt about that. The craftsmanship is amazing and I like how he had the boat built. I'm sure the guys at MTI were very proud of the way it turned out.
Honestly I also like Albert Haynesworth boat a lot more because I liked the graphics. That's all about personal taste. Some people like Rat Rods while others like the Pro Stock Look. I like the loud look. Give me loud colors and tastefully done graphics and I'm all good. My favorite boat is the Looney Tunes Boat. I love the graphics on the outside of the hull and the way it was carried inside the engine compartment. But to each his own.
Your spot on about the cost of the Lugo Trailers. Its hell to think his trailer is worth more than my house...:bowdown:
Anyhow its all good and can't wait to see what he brings out to DS this year
