   Many factors can contribute to a cat taking flight; excessive speed, wind gust or rogue wave but the common denominator here is Marine Technology catamarans, or MTI. This is the 8th MTI 390X blow over with fatalities since 2021...

   Reason for that is the 39' MTI has a very wide tunnel 72" which allows it to pack a ton of air, and it's very light for it's length which is why they'll do 130 mph with only 2-500's.
