Yep, Carbon Fiber is very light and strong!

F129Fountain-If your serious about it, call Phil @ Lip-Ship, 305-933-9988. He built the boat new.

Looking through my old collection of Powerboat Magazines, I came across a Kevlar Top Gun test. It is on a Lip-Ship Edition with Zul 600s. I don't know if this is yours. Here is some data:
Top Speed at RPM 83.3 MPH at 5300
Acceleration in 20 sec. 72.0 MPH
Mirrange Acceleration 40-70 MPH in 6.8 Sec
MPH vs. RPM 58 MPH 3500 RPM
MPH vs. RPM 72 MPH 4500 RPM
Fuel Economy 1.1MPG 55 MPH
Fuel Economy 0.6Mpg WOT
Sound Level 88 dBA open
Hope this helps you out.

Not sure but unless he changed I don't think that Brandon has 950's more like 650's Bobby, check your pictures of his engines. It does run in the nineties with the 650's from what I recall.

Anyway whenever he runs all I look at is the babes he hauls around who cares how fast he goes!

GL, Primal Instinct (Curt) has the 950's in his Gun. Brandon told me that it ran in the mid 90's.
