Re: 38 Fountain with 700's
 

I compare the 38-39 Cigarette's to a 42 Fountain as well. I've been on both boats and a 42 Fountain overall size of boat (cockpit, cabin, depth,wetted hull running surface size) is more simular to a 38-39 Cig than the 38 Fountain is.

So it seems like the 39 Cig's are running the same speed now as a 42 Fountain?

Here's a pic of the tattle-tale on my 600 boat (first run --- it's so tight when you spin the prop w/ your hand it immediatly stops! :eek: ). So, we're expecting 1-2 MPH more, before changing anything.

Running on 5 blade Max's.

I agree same boat basically. 42 Weighs 10300 prob heavier than Gun. But Joe has good speed. BLee 650 Zuls ran 92 in older Gun. 38 F is faster for sure but smaller than Gun. Joes boat is mint and I would love to have it. A new 42 F with 850's and 6's prob is the same money and I think I'd try that first.

That is a great looking boat. I really like the paint on that one.

You cant tell me that the idea for those graphics didnt come from Cigarette.

Re: 38 Fountain with 700's
 

The graphics do look a little similar. :D

Hopefully they are looking at Cigarette. Next, Reggie needs to crawl under a Cigarette dash and look at the wiring and copy that too!

or that the blue "shard" and the "broken glass shard" shapes aren't right off the west coast where those shapes been seen for years.

Don't start with the persnickety behavior again. I'll have to give my X-mas money to AFR and Al, and I promised Samantha I'd finish the house first.
