I have no doubt that it will run 110, just need to get out in the morning before the lake gets congested. There was a lot of traffic on Sunday. LOL, mid-October - that is why I don't live in CT any more.

What are you getting out of your boat with the 800's?

Congratulaions!! The boat looks really really clean and nice! I think you have got one hell of a package there.

42 Fountain... Worlds Fastest Vee, perfectly balanced, fast and a fun boat to drive.
Merc 700s.... Biggest engine with hydraulic lifters = hundreds of trouble free houres. Fill her up and run forever.
Six Drives.... drive crazy all day long, best looks of all propulsion systems in my opinion.


All in all, maybe the best compromize for most fun, performance and reliability. THE BEST BOAT IN THE WHOLE WORLD!!!!!!


Can I get your e-mail adress? I have used a picture of this boat (at least, I think it is this one) in an advertizement previously this year. I can e-mail it to you!

You must be a lucky man! I also love roosters ;-))

thanks for sharing the ad.

Nice boat and stellars numbers. :D

Just curious, what rpm's was the smartcraft system reading? I know the 700's go to 5200, but your tach says 5900? Does the smartcraft give a speed reading as well?

Nice boat :ernaehrung004:

When we were coming back from Johnny Fins I saw you coming towards us. All I could see was a large rooster tail. Thought it was a jet boat, until you got closer. As you went by I could not believe all of the water you were throwing up & only crusing.

Actually, the 700's go to 5,350 from the factory. I am certain the speed is correct because the Livorsi gauge has its own GPS antena and so does my Northstar GPS. The Northstar has a SmartCraft interface and the Livorsi gauge does not. It relies on the tack feed much like standard analog guages and needs to be fine tuned for accuracy, duration of display, etc. Just have not had the time to work on it.

Yes, that was us. The #6's throw a monster tail at crusing speed and that is with the drives all the in, which happens to be the most efficient setting for that speed. 98% of the time I cruise at 50mph, which is 2,600-2,650 rpm's and it shows 19-20 gallons per hour per side on the SmartCraft.

It is pretty cool, because I can fine tune engine speed, trim and tabs while tracking the fuel meters to maximize my fuel efficiency at any given speed. 50 mph works well on Travis.

Was out in a 42 w/ 700's about a month ago was a blast. Ours had the NXT gimbals, #six drives, had it to 104, but our conditions were mch rougher that day. Love the tail.
