Great numbers for a 42, what props are you spinning? Our 38/700 boat is running 6 blade Herrings. Saw Wyatt Fountain at the Jammin on the James poker run with a 42/700 boat that had 5 blade Merc props. Wyatts 42 was very fast also.

I am running 6 blade Herring's from the factory. There are five other Fountains on our lake with 700's - four 42's and one 38. All but one of the 42's have five blades. Mine is a 2007 with the old cabin, where all the rest have the new cabin. Supposedly the old cabin is ~700lbs lighter than the new cabin interior. The tv-berth is also WAY bigger and we do a lot of overnights aboard, so that's nice.

They are for sure, but they are lighter and much bigger inside. Luckily I have a friend in the business who is going to update the counter top with a nice piece of Corian much like the 35 Lightnings were from 2004-2005.

Definetely, we have gone 110 on the rev limiters and 106 with topped off tanks, four people, coolers, etc in the middle of summer. There is probably another 4-5mph on the table, but I would rather have the accelleration. It pulls hard enough through the midrange that the digital speedo jumps by 5-7mph at a time.
