So far on the 2 Fountains I have owned,they are pretty accurate.
My 91 32 fever 502's 76, It did 74 but had 500 hrs. My 05 Ex
78. It does 78-79 mph. Their tests are done with 5 gals of gas.
I always have a half a tank.

Mine stated 74mph at 5400... I ran 74mph at 5200 with different props.
It would be cool if we could post them... I would like to see other sheets.

Dito. Mine was right on. But they say when a boat is tested by Reggie its 2 mph faster than anybody else can make it go . He has got the touch.....
