Right now my boat is mostly full 350-375 gal of 89 octane fuel, full fresh water tank too and all gear and it will hit 68-69ish. I have not gone WOT since this spring and 50hrs ago. I just do not boat like that. The real important info I can give you is I cruise at 4000rpms getting 1.4mpg at 48-49mph. Back it down to 3700rpms at 42mph and I get 1.5-.6mpg! A 51mph cruise is at 41-4200 is getting 1.4-1.3mpg. With worked props from Throttle Up this boat will eek out another few mph. A guy at Terra Verde has the same boat as me and is hitting 75.
BTW, it's for sale...perfect condition 150hrs, ECM updates and all maintanance records. It will be at the dealer in St. Pete a few weeks to fix the stereo head unit. Totally clean looking white hull ready for a vinyl wrap or paint. I already have a Fountain CC, just wondering if I can beat my buddies new 38 in Tierra Verdi.:D :D Need to do some prop work, hitting the Limitter! |
twwo-air, what Fountain CC do you have? What props are you running? My boat will be down at SportsUSA for some stereo work and a full detail in 2 weeks.

31 TE with 07 Mercury Racing 300 Optis, love it, fast and economical!

Jerry, I do not have any pix but will try to get some this weekend while out on the boat. It is pretty plain under there....it is all white, very clean and spartan looking typical V Berth and facing couches'lounges but with excellent head room. The sink and head is under the helm with 6'4" head room. I have 2 oscillating fans and the Fountain logo in gold and black to match the logo on the seat back. Other than that you can just hose it all out. Tons and tons and tons of storage under the cushions.

No hard numbers yet. Have been out of town most of the summer. I have taken the boat out about a half a dozen times. Opened it up one time, reached 70 mph G.P.S.... non labbed Revolution 4s.. Your rig, very similar setup, I'm guessing same engines, same fuel consumption. For speed, the Fountain probably about 3 mph faster:D :D Frank |
