I wouldn't say it isn't stable. I am simply saying that you need to pay attention and not get complacent or you can get in big trouble. That is simply due to the speed. Too many people don't respect these things and that's when $hit happens. It is as stable as the driver is smart (and capable).

Above 85mph you have to focus on flying the boat level. That is real important as most of the boat is in the air. You kinda need to have a knack for that I think or it can get away from you real quick. I guess i am saying that you have to be seriously focused when driving that small a boat that fast, especially with other boats mixing up the water.
VP knows how to run his, ran next to him at 90 in nice chop one morning. No wakes to cross, ran flat and true.

I could make you a "deal" on a staggered 35 ! You know, special discount for a friend

Thanks Kelly O for your added clarification.

As Reggie states, Fountains are the fastest and safest boats on the market (but he should add the word vee-hulls) because this is a vee and it is only 29 ft and when it goes 91+ mph you need to pay attention.


So Kelly, are you brokering a boat or is this your's that you are giving me a smokin deal on ???

VP You are welcome.
As they say, everything is for sale. Could I broker my own boat, therefore increasing my sale price while talking about myself in the third person ?

Wildman, seen anything available worth checking out ?

No,,,,,,,,,,,, but it would be cool to see someone step up and finish the green 47 CS that was in the classifieds.

My 29 has a (grey area) from about 80 to 85 it gets a little schetchy but it smooths out quite a bit after that. It likes 1-2 foot chop and the fastest I have run Is about 92-93. But if you drive the boat it works!!

DIRT, 92-93 is great and I agree with your handling statement - is your's a single too - and does it have a "close to stock" 575 SCi like mine?
