MTI 52 Race For Sale

The MTI 52 Race is the platform that built Marine Technology Inc.’s reputation on the offshore racing circuit. At 52 feet with an 11-foot-6-inch beam, this catamaran is designed for one purpose: sustained high-speed running in open-ocean conditions. Stripped of the Pleasure Series’ cabin amenities, the 52 Race dedicates its weight budget to structural reinforcement, engine access, and the safety equipment that competitive offshore racing demands.nnSterndrive propulsion scales from the 860-horsepower QC4 Mercury through 1,100, 1,350, and 1,550-horsepower TCI Mercury Racing packages to the 1,750-horsepower configuration. BPM surface drives and dry-sump options round out the list. In full race trim, MTI 52s routinely exceed 180 mph, and the builder’s boats hold multiple National, World, UIM, Middle East, and European championship titles.nnSeating for two to four occupants reflects the racing focus: driver and throttleman at minimum, with navigator positions available. The 150-gallon fuel tank is sized for race legs rather than cruising range. Vacuum-infused composite construction with carbon-fibre reinforcement keeps dry weight around 12,500 pounds, critical when horsepower-to-weight determines finishing position.nnEach 52 Race is built to order at MTI’s Wentzville facility with race-specific rigging, safety harnesses, and electronics. The 52 is where MTI proves what its engineering can do at the limit.
