This guy was asking about putting a generator in his boat, where is the generator going to go in a side by side engine boat? Yes you know the boat, yes it is for sale, yes it is gay, yes it is what no one is looking for, yes it has nothing to do with this thread...

the 42 fountain isnt totally out of the question but I think im going to try to find a 38 formula fastech , I want to do overnighting and it seems like a formula fastech is a better fit for me

not yet but I plan on it soon

Im going to florida next week to look at some stuff

the 42 fountains I seen online arent set up ith what I want , start adding a generator , A/C , flushing toilet etc . it seems like alot of work

the formulas are often set up with all the stuff I want already and they seem to have bigger cabins and cockpits

2 - it only has a porta potty and I want to convert it to a flushing toilet with a pump out , is it doable/feaseable

3 - it doesnt have a generator , would it be difficult to add it ?

thanks in advance
I sold a 1998 side by side and it ran 80's on the speedo.

You can add a flush toilet as stated.

Never seen a gen in a side by side 42, on a staggered boat it goes starboard of front motor.

Most the 382 have gen, ac, bathrooms - I have two on consignment now that run 80 with these options.
