Shogrens 09 47 @ Chicago Poker run
 

Well, I just got the word from Scott Shogren that his new 09 47 Fountain will probably make its first appearance, straight from the factory to Chicago, and hit the water at our 4th annual Chicago Poker run this july 18 & 19th at East Chicago Marina.
This new boat will sport a pair of Sterling 1200 HP EFI engines with the no. VI drives.

I have added a few pics of this new boat, but these pics are a bit old, and there has been much progress since these pics were taken. I'm gonna leave it up Scott, if he might want to update these pics as progress is being accomplished. Here's a few for now.

and a few more

We'll have to wait and see
 

Frank,

We'll have to wait and see, the entire boat is being painted by Mitcher T Custom Painting.

4 - 6's, I think we will be fine!!!!!!!!!!!

120+ NOOOOOOOOOOOOO PROBLEM

Hey Scott, Need a driver again??????????????? LMAO :evilb: I think I might just have someone in mind. :D

That's really nice of you to think of me like that Frankie! :D In a way, I'd be better suited...my Fountain still has LEFT hand throttles...you'd have to adjust!

I am surprised that mercury would allow another brand of power in a fountain.

Why would they care? When it breaks they can point it out and say if it was our 1200's then the boat would still be running. My guess is the Sterlings are a whole lot cheaper than the Merc 1200's and will run on pump gas/ Merc 1200's need higher octane.

Big Red!!
 

Frank,

Maybe I should have you and Mike S switch out since he already knows how to drive a red boat.

The boat was ordered with 525's and 6's, the Sterlings run on pump gas.

How much HP can the 4's handle?
