The twin Mercury Racing 1350hp engines are tied to BPM surface drives to maximize the performance. The polished stainless steel rudder is certainly hard to miss. 150+MPH is a normal occurrence in Black Diamond…

Why call it Black Diamond? Well, the owner had recently sold his 48’ MTI and did not want to be without a boat which put a great deal of pressure on the crew at our Wentzville MO factory. Pressure Makes Diamonds….and black was the preferred color…

[momc4312]

Few boats can even come close to the completed design, look and performance of the 52. The details throughout the boat are true art… Custom molds were made for the headlight and taillights, the custom steering wheel was custom machined from a solid block of aluminum and the recessed LED lighting across the top deck is flush mounted and disappears into the gloss black finish when turned off… Something never seen before in an MTI.
