Have been in this boat alot over the last 6 yrs. Frank has made some huge upgrades to this boat. Its nicely done and fast for what it is. After this paint upgrade is done, youll only have acouple things left before you sell it to me.( for .50 cents on the dollar!!! )I would like whipples and XR drives...thank you. No, but I am really lookin forward to seeing this boat all done. Oh, dont forget the covergirl cabin!!!

Yes, I did, and he did a ton of work on it, and it draws a crowd everywhere it goes.

He got it to 75 on the test run. I've only had it out once, and it was dead calm with sticky water, but my friends and I are thinking it might prefer to run with 28's. I have access to a set and might try them out this weekend if the weather holds.

Id also say it'd be a waste to convert the boat to a cover girl cabin for basically 1mph and loosing any resale value if you ever wanted to sell it in the end.

Good luck with it will eat up the rough stuff that is for sure. What are you running for power?

Thanks Kevin! It has been fun doing something to the boat each year and now you have your own Cigarette to piss money away on.

The guy painting the boat does some unbelievable work. His airbrushing and custom stuff is just awesome. Here is a link to some of his work, he has mostly bikes on here but if you go under the vehicle section you can see a 42 Fountain he did. I will be updating this thread to show progress.
