A 29 Scarab with a stock 502 will barely touch 60 on GPS but it will ride a little better than the Fountain. The hull doesn't have a very sharp deadrise but the Fountain has the pad on it with a little less running surface. Just my opinion but I have been in both.

I have a scarab 29 with a -08 496mag ho 65mph+ (a little bit to weak ) But in the rough sea it will outperform fountain 29 everyday of the week ! ( i think the scarab is much better lookin Fountain 29 are to "short" for her wide hull )

never said you couldnt put it in there....just said they didnt equip them with that kinda power. Most buyers, as usual, are buying boats with stock power.

mine was 58 gallons if im not mistaken......and the gas gauge was the worst part. It would sit on full all day then magically start bouncing around 1/8 - 1/2 tank when underway.
