The listing problem is most likely water getting up past the engine box bulkhead up under the tank area and not draining back out cause of all the saw dust, fiberglass coreouts, carpet scraps, tank foam and other chit clogging up the 1" drain line on that side.
Get the bow as high as you can and use some fish tape to see if its clogged.

All I wanted from Fountain was a piece of rub rail and that would of taken care of the situation. I will still have it fixed then I will be able to consider my Fountain a one of a kind.

Re: Rub Rail not centered
The whipples are very dependable with the efi's. The first year we had it, it was just a turn key. We bought the boat with all the work done to it. It was done by Bob Teague on the west coast. He said the boat ran 100 when new. We have seen 95, but we have just rebuilt the motors and haven't gotten any real numbers yet. The stock 500 boats ran 83-85 mph so it picked up 15mph. The drives were switched to 1:36 ratio to accomodate the power. We are running 30" 4 blades.
