Why do you think the BMax is a bad gamble? What have you heard, let us know.

If this is scaring you I would start considering #6's and only #6's. :cool-smiley-026:

Maybe I'll see you out on the water this year, you're not too far away.

The water your boat is in counts for a lot , but who is trimming
and on the sticks counts [B]more! [B] .

Any shiftable drive drive that can't rate with the dyno rated horses we want to put in front of them , is a bad gamble to me . Once my motors come back down tuned to 900 hp
for my xr's I'm going to try the Billet marine Drive Caps
to see if this gamble holds together for me . If the X power Drive could live up to its claims then I could boost my
motors and have a more sure thing riding on my transom !
#6's time will tell! this season is here and the only drives in sight for me right now are with a x and r on them !
I look forward to the possiability that X-Power can take the
gamble off my transom instead of #6's .

I've been running speed boats for 20+ years now and I thought the same exact thing when I bought this last boat... You have an edge since the Fountain is actually a 35' and is a lot lighter but only time will tell...

See ya out on the water, let's go swell jumping! ;)

38ft - 3ft beek - 2ft swim platform = 33 ft by my math

Nice! :D

What part of Brooklyn are you in? I make a lot of runs over to Freeport and sometimes I go to Paddy McGee's. I haven't run up to Sheaps Head Bay in a very very long time but that's where I'm from originally.

We lived on E 66st. by the old Gill Hodges Bowling alley, my family kept their boats in Kings Plaza. :cool-smiley-011:

Funny story...when I was really young my sister was carrying me into the mall, there was grease on the curb, she slipped and fell breaking my leg.... :hitfan:
