Default 42 fountain performance?

I'll be finishing up my 1993 twin full stagger / bravo 42 executioner in a month or so. Hopefully lol

Running 575 -600s...bravo drives

Any idea on what it should run for cruise and top speed?

Also...what x dimension should I be running ? Bout to cut the new transom.

Thanks!

According to the calculator http://www.go-fast.com/boat_speed_predictions.htm you will be about 82mph. That sounds about right for a straight bottom boat.

Not an expert, but just look around at all the performance V bottoms and the fast ones are running staggered applications, Fountain, CIG, etc. I have heard the same as you, but in the 5-10 mph range.
