Congrats on your new Fountain, Scott, Greg and Bruce make it a painless process, They are all good people and go out of their way to satisfy the customer.

What are you picking up next week?

Re: Thoughts on a 2005 47 with trip 525s?
 

Thanks. Yes they all did a great job for me and I can not wait for the boat to get here. I called the driver today at 2:00 pm and he was in Tennessee. Said he should get to Florida border late tonight and be at my house Thursday evening. So looks like Friday morning as soon as the sun is up we will be launching the boat. The Sea Rays, snailboats, and other cruiser people in my development are going to love this boat. :evilb: There is one Apache with twin 525s a couple of streets over and that is it for performance boats. A couple of nice Fountain fishboats in there also. But as of right now this boat will be the fastest boat in there.

07 47,the all white one was my old boat,are you boating yet ?

Re: Thoughts on a 2005 47 with trip 525s?
 

Yes we took out today for a nice 89 mph jaunt thru Tampa Bay which only had about 2 footers today.
I think they sold your boat. A gentleman came out on my test ride. He had called Scott about my boat last week, but Scott told him I was coming up on Monday. So he came along for the ride and after I bought it that day he was negotiating with Scott about your boat. Good luck with the new one. So far I am very happy with the 47, I can not wait until we get some 4-5 footers in the bay. What props did you have on your boat? I think this boat needs bigger props. Thanks

Yes It Does That Was My thought also :drink:

Re: Thoughts on a 2005 47 with trip 525s?
 

Have not played around with it yet. Only drove it 5 miles home from the ramp. I had the tabs set at 2 and the drives were at 3. But at those setting the boat would bounce off the limiter, so I am thinking there is so room with the props. So you must be getting the maximus props. I would be curious how the boat responds to those props. Also the boat is full of gas since we topped off on street prices for the last time :( .

Try Your Tabs At 2.5 And Just Move The Trim A Little It Took Me A Little Time To Get Every Mph Out Of It But Every Time It Is Diffrent,my Opinion Is Stay With The Props You Have I Spent Money And Time And Had No Results The Only Way To Get A Big Gain Is Go With Six Blades I Will Keep You Posted Scott Is Trying All 3 Sets On The New Boat Next Week Cant Wait To Hear The 525's Rumble Next Week Feel Free To Give Me A Call

Re: Thoughts on a 2005 47 with trip 525s?
 

Thanks. I will try today to play around with it. Let me know what you find out, because is you see some nice gains with the Herring 6 blades I may have to order me some. I now what you mean about the rumble. The 525s sound awesome. Post some pictures of the new one when you get them. Mike
