coming down to the wire finishing the bilge and the top hatch their really paying attention to the fit and finish

Almost hammer time.

Would you please put Marks old 525 in it first. I would love to know if there is an improvement in the 2 hulls. A back to back comparison.

LOL . We do know hull number two is lighter

From the sounds of what I've heard and what I've seen so far in the pictures looks like you're going to have a rocket ship on your hands. Every time fountain built a new 42 they got faster and faster he would change the bottom move the CG as he was building the boat cut the hull down and then cut the corners out for aerodynamics very similar to the instigator boat.

From the conversations I've had with Mark it sounds like he's made a lot of changes and improvements you have to give him credit for that. It reminds me of the old days when I raced for team fountain and Reggie would say to me the quickest way to make a million dollars building offshore boats was to spend 2.

It just takes time patience and money and a great team to make it happen congratulations to all of you so far.

An important thing you have to look at and a comparison between boat one and two is handling if the handling improved that equates to miles per hour

Very Impressive!
Thanks for the ride-along during the build with all the pics and updates. Looks like an incredible boat, to say the least. Looking forward to numbers, especially with 525.
Best of luck to you guys on the race course!

Was hull # 1 ever tested at race weight? 4750 lbs.

HULL # 1 saw 92 with 5 blade 29 . @ 5100. waiting to try a 28, at race weight.

it is a great build thread, thanks for that!
hopefully the rigging will be photo-documented in chronological order as well
