I know a stock 42 Fountain runs 138 with out that light carbon million plus doller layup that OL uses. I bet apples to apples its Fountain hands down. If the beak spankls them that bad on the race course, if you build a million dollar 42 up against an OL every single day of the week the beak will be faster guarenteed!!!

A good V-bottom shootout is needed. There are always fast cats, but some stupid fast v bottom action would be really cool to see!

gotta put one in for the Fountains.....Doc Janssen's 42PR ran 142 w/ 1075s....... there is a 42 in PA somewhere with 1350 sterlings that ran 150.....it was used as a pace boat when they used to have races at the Fountain plant....I'll see if I can dig up a pic
