FEVER: You know as much about that avatar as I do. One day, there it was. I think its a gay symbol and I think someone somehow hacked into this system and put it there, but I don't really mind. What the heck! I'm sure I've done enough arsehole things to deserve it and its not so bad looking. How do you think it'll look stretched out along the sides of my new 47 with staggered 1075s?

RJ1340, you do know that it is super easy to change your avitarto anyone of the stock one on OSO or put in another picture of your own? Hacked into the system I don't think so. Strectched out on your new boat...it would look pretty GAY...I guess you are coming out of the ...uh...as they say....closet?

I'd take the trip set up myself, for the obvious reasons (gas, overall up time, etc)

Oh by the way, when the wife saw your avitar she said it was GAY. So you may want to change it or not..."not that there's anything wrong with being gay"

Just a thought, but how much gas is tripp 1075s going to burn and how big is the gas tank, I think tripp 1075 would really limit your range?? Just a thought. Lets be honest Fountains are not know for big fuel tanks.

The one with twin 1075 burned 230 gallons a hour. So I assume with triple 1075 she should burn 325-345 gallons an hour. So with the standard 315 gallon tank in a 47 you could run less than 1 hour. Better hope their are a lot of marinas near bye. Of course it should run close to 150 mph, so in 1 hour you could cover some serious distance. I have a triple 525 47 Lightning now and can't wait to see one with triple 700s which will probably be my next boat.

If you could use Reggie's ego as a fuel tank it would have unlimited range.

So less than 1 hour of running WOWOW I can see it now, at Poker Runs, first one to the first stop, not because they want the card but so they can be the first to start refueling
