Re: 42 x with big power
Not to bust things up, but for numbers our 42x ran at 112 with 1050 Sterlings.. We had to put mufflers in it and it dropped the top end to 104.
The 46 with 1075 and BIG OL wheels ran about 118. It's stister boat ran 125. With the right equipment you can get some bigger numbbers. But in a discussion with Skip at one point, you just run out of hull.

Lake cumberland marine has the June 2006 powerboat mag cover boat in stock(I think its still 4sale?) It is by far one of the sickest fountains ever made. Same bottom as Rio Roses cat killer. Will blow the cusom paint right off of a 42x and the cabin has more hallways than a elementary school!
I'll start thinking about that when someone at the gas station asks me "Is that one of those Fountain boats"
....and be honest, the 47' Fountain is smaller than a 42' anything!!!!

Re: 42 x with big power
Waterboy38? Was that your job for the football team of the highschool you never graduated from? Maybe if you had your GED you could at least upgrade your membership to gold status instead of puting in writing that a particular brand of powerboat "sucks". That was a very juvenile response to a message that I posted in response to a guy on here just looking for options. I never once said that a Cigarette sucks. Did you here me knocking Joes new 39 unlimited? Absolutely not. Go back to the mainland and stay off the water until you can learn to swim with the rest of us!

On our 42X, it ran 104 after we sent the pipes to Toronto to be muffled due to the local fuzz.
Our 46 ran 115 on Lake Cumberland. We bumped up the pitch which the boat was a slug out of the water. If you go check the boat. Which is for sale. The GPS tattletale shows the boat ran 118 "which I ran it too" and on the twin GPS Magellan's state the same. The boat was set up for top end running.
Here is our 46 XP for sale.

46 XP Sister boat for sale:
46 XP Sister boat
Our 42X for sale : This boat ran 111.3 December 03 Boating Mag

The 46 we have for sale is a good boat. You can call Randy, we are entertaining any offers.
If you have any further questions, PM me or call. I know those two boats inside and out.
