Default First Mercury Racing 1550 Engine-Powered Fountain Wows Test Team

The first Fountain with Mercury Racing 1550/1350 engines hit the water yesterday—and it's back out there today, http://speedonthewater.com/in-the-ne...wows-test-team

Hopefully someone will do a 42 with this package someday. I think we will see that the hull design is not outdated at all and is still the safest, fastest, best handling boat out there no matter what the Fountain bashers have to say.

that's Moving don't get me wrong but I would have thought a little more top end. Wasn't Reggie only running 1500s when he set record? Of course that was stripped down 42 race rig right?
fully built out Condo running 130+ is still pretty sweet!

^X2! A 1550/1350 42PR would be NASTY....

Love that this one has RH Throttle. Driving a Fountain is like driving a RHD stick car... Just aint right..
