107 mph 35' Lightning w/staggered 525's
 

Here are the facts:

2008 35' Fountain ICBM w/staggered stock 525's

7" Latham standoff boxes

Speedmaster 2" shorty lower units

1/2 spacers added

Herring 32" 6 blade props

GPS recall reads 107 mph (low fuel and one person on board)

On the test run at Fountain factory we personally witnessed 105.5 on the GPS with three grown men on board and over 20 gallons of gas in the tanks. The boat had gas in it when we got there and we watched them add 10 gallons in each tank.

This boat had full cabin trim with all of the accessories. It was not a stripped down boat. In fact, we took it home that day.

An interesting fact that was hard to believe at first. This boat gets better gas mileage running at WOT than it does at cruising speed. But, stop and think about it. You are covering a lot of distance at these speeds in a short period of time.

This is one awesome boat!

Is it loose over 100?

Smooth as silk. Like you are running on a rail providing you are not in big swells. The boat runs very flat with a lot of wetted surface.

Thats pretty impresive and if you don't mind me asking how much was it?

Thats one fast 35....

Can I go for a ride??:grinser010:

daum! that baby is dialed in, there must be allot of time and testing involved to get those #'s out of a full pleasure boat. Post some pics

hey convincer , time to change your name on here. now that you got a hot ride. i hope you enjoy it. awesome boat!!

call me stupid, but I've been wondering about "ICBM" ???

" ICBM " = Inter Contenintal Balistic Missle , also a throwback to the original tag that Fountain used many years ago on the first boats.

At 107 mph in a stock powered boat I believe this rig qualifies as a Missle !!! :D.
