That boat should run 85. You can call fountain and they will fax you the performance report.

Your boat is beautiful and you look real happy - Life is good.

Nice looking rig! Congrats. The patriot paint is one of my favorites and that boat should rip with 500 efeeees!

My GPS when new had a small wire that pulled out of the head. Couldn't really tell but a small tug and that was the prob. Got a new harness for 13. and works great.

i have a 1996 35 lighting w/ 502. what props are on yours ?

I was running 26 Mach's (that have been worked) 4 blades only turning 4600 at 75 Mph I just bought a set of Bravo 1's 26' 4 blades gona try them out this spring see what happens.

I can't wait for summer

My boat came from the factory with 28P Bravo 4 blade props,
35 Lightning with one step and HP500EFI's. On a 65 degree day at the ocean (sea level) 4 people and full gas the engines wanted to over rev and the boat ran about 80+ it was still accelerating but the rpm's were 5800 and I pulled the throttles back, for fear of hurting something. I would like to try a pair of 30's to see what they do. My props are turning in.

David,

Glad to hear that the boat is working out so well.

Looks like we have been going out on alternate weekends. I launched 3 times from MDR between December and February.

We'll have to hook up before too long and run together.:drink: Although Fountains are popular elsewhere, there are not to many of them locally.

Mine's been in the shop for a while now (replacement windshield) and I suspect I won't get it back for a couple of weeks.

However, I've got reservations for Havasu the weekends of 4/13 and 4/27 and am looking at Catalina for 5/11 and maybe Memorial day weekend (5/25) if I can get a mooring.

Drop me a line ([email protected]) if any of our dates match...
