x-Pair-a-dice Fountain was sold a year ago asking 299k. Rick took immaculate care of her. Had his 900's refreshend every yr at Fondulac Merc for 8k each, some factory program.That was a 117 boat. no poxy hull either.

The race fairing is way to go. I don't care much for the lightning fairings that wrap around like a cowl. As on yellow x- P.A.D.

Pair-o-Dice yellow 42' fountain is a Lightning not the EX.
they traded it to MTI on the new cat, it was sold to Fountain of north Texas from MTI, they sold it to Jimmy in the North East. I don't know if it is for sale. Poker runs america have one for sale, I think

i have been reading this thread and i would have to say that will al the effort of your our time etc the best option is to order with 850 and 6's and sell off your used drives and power like another said earlier, you will have a faster boat, turn key ready to go with new equipment, better re-sale too.

good luck with whatever you do it will still be an awesome boat either way.

I have to agree with powerboatsNW I have been running Imco extreem stuff hard for going on almost 4 seasons , first on my 35 and now on my new 42 ex. just had my first failure. I think the six drives are the way to go but if you need 100 mph you my fall just short. I wrote Bob Teague and he responded in powerboat to my questions in Febuarys powerboat page 23.Wish I could have done sixes but the money I saved may go to more power and Ihave had good luck with Imco stuff. Good luck !

If the rumors are true you could see a new package from merc that will make sense come maimi!

Understand all Mecury's employees cant talk about it or big problems...rumor is sci 700 and a new style bravo type drive good for 850 hp...just a rumor though.

Hammertime, what power you running in your 42ex?

Also, do you know what your prop slippage is?

Back4more, do you think you may have too little slippage and adding lots of load on your drives? just a thought.

I am at 17-18% slip now. Will be testing different wheels in spring but afraid with less slippage = more load to drives which means more drive failures???

Thanks for the compliments on the internet site. Ben works hard to keep it up to date and running smoothly. We'll be updating with more pics and videos from the OSS Worlds shortly.

Take care,
