42 Fountain VS 35
How much longer is the nose of a 42 w/staggered 525's than a 35? What I mean is, there is a 7' difference between the boats. With the staggered setup, I'm just wondering approx. how much more of the 7' is actually forward of the windshield?

I have a staggered 35 and brother-in-law has a staggered 42. I'm guessing 2 feet in the cockpit (behind bolsters to rear bench) and about 4 feet in the cabin (from the sliding door to the start of the v-berth). We keep them in the same storage building so I can get you exact dimensions if you want.

Have 525's with Bravo XR's/SSM lowers and Hering 6 blade props. Fountain performance report says 101, recall speedo shows 100. The highest I've ran it to was 95. I know there is more in it - just haven't had enough seat time to get the last few mph out of it yet.

You ready to step up to one that will run those speeds listed like it's on vacation ? It really is unbelievable to all that have experienced it.

Dayummm.... That's amazing performance from your 35!

The full stagger 35's are rocketships, the cockpit space in our 38 full stagger is marginally better. As a rule under 42' full stagger boats the cockpit suffers...but it's worth it during go time!
