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! ). So, we're expecting 1-2 MPH more, before changing anything.

Running on 5 blade Max's.

Seriously, no slamming here... I truly expected to see the 42 run much faster. Was that at WOT, 5400 RPM'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.

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

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.
