The comparable boat is the 42 Fountain and we all know it. 42 Fountain pleasure version with 700's with a cabin runs in the 108 mph range I believe.

I am not going down that path, the post was "Fastest mercury 700 vhull" Doesn't matter if its 12' or 50' , If Velocity has built a 32 with 700's "Stepp up" or if Hustler has built a 344 with 700??????

Until proven wrong, I stand by "we have a winner":ernaehrung004:

We have been talking about a fast 700hp single project as well. I would agree that the Ilmor package is looking better than the Merc 700 package. Conservitive calculations say 110mph, but perhaps the greater efficiency of the Indy could get us more like 115.
We'll have to try it I guess.

Well C, how many OEM bulkheads were in JR's 50 Hustler after it essentially split apart.......2-3...in a 50 foot boat....? :eek:

I find it hard to believe that the skater v-bottom will be outrun by a fountain with the same power...

I bet it does, but
we had a 34sf fountain trips try to sneak up on us getting on plane , we were in a AT33 525s, it was a joke we weren't trying and we left them in the dust, you guys with your trips and quads are nice fishing boats, tubing boats . but thats about it. I seen you guys going after each other on the fishing site about racing each other in cc boats fountain and yellowfin you guys are ruthless:nhl_fight::D , but I have never seen a cc win over sportboat. I ran against a yellow scarb 26 or 29 back in 05 going to cape cod canal they had twin 275s or 300s I just played with them and on the other side of the canal they had to turn around and go back cause they were slamming in to the waves I just cracked the throttles and laughed as I went to onset. oh I would say your fountain over the yellowfin. later

Same here Artie, but it was that guy with the 38 Fountain with the Quad 300xs' (fastest cc kilo thing) on the NYC poker run when we were running the Gladiator. Bye bye!!!!:D:D
