Exceptions would be goosenecks or swingaways, or Arnesons.

THANKS STEVE THAT'S THE SIZE OF MY SHOP.

Guys:
Maybe I DO have a crystal ball!
As soon as I saw this thread I knew what was going to happen! You guys are the funniest guys and I can't wait to meet you in person Thursday night at the Clevelander.

When the drives are down aren't they under the swim platform?

Reggie adding that beak and counting the swim platform BEFORE it was mandated in 1991 was one of the best marketing tools in the boat business. I sold new Fountains before the steps were added and they were 8-10 MPH faster than the competition with equal power BACK THEN!

...and, 42-40 = 2 feet. That part removed aint even close to 2 feet! Looks to be closer to 6-8 inches :D
