Default Bottom and #6 lower blueprinting

Has anyone blueprinted bottom of late model 42' bottom and/or #6 drive lower? How much, who to do it, and what are realistic results. Thanks in advance.

+1 on Wilson. They are the leaders in lower blueprinting. Great guys and very professional.

Call Fountain Performance Marine for Hull....Talk to Wyatt. They will hook you up. This is what the Fountain family is focusing on right now...you wont be dissapointed.

There is a really good article in the latest issue of Sportboat magazine that specifically investigates the benefits of blueprinted drives and bottom on a late model 42.....the Wilsons are really great to deal with.....if you are looking for a onestop shop I would contact Brian Forehand at his new shop in Wilmington NC....910-821-0190......he has a great relationship with the Wilsons to get the drive work done and as far the bottom work and rigging services he has no equal especially when it come to Fountains

Brian Forehand did the bottom on my 38 Lightning and had Wilson do the lowers and the results were amazing. The boat runs like it is on rails and picked up a lot more speed. He is also a great person to work with and you get what he tells you.

I honestly dont think anyone can argue or dispute this. I would wager to say that anything that anyone has learned about Fountain hulls would of originated from the man who's name is on the side of it.....just a hunch.
