Nice Piece But Underpowered.

The boat will run 72-76 with 4 people and fuel. Fountain only built two of these boats I believe both in 2006 and they are still for sale. Raymonds in LOTO and American Performance in MD.

Does anyone know the top speed of the 2005 42X with T496s with bravo drives?

My husband posted this question below but it was included with another question and didn't get any response. Does anyone know the answer?

Thanks :)...

I think its not just about the HP ,,,its also about how much hull u push and weight.

Been there ,,,believe me that boat needs XR's.

I believe that raymonds may have had 2. One was dark blue and the owner ran it in the shootout 3 years ago, then came back the next year with bigger power.

isn't that the best way to order a Fountain if your going to put your own big power in it? I was told and not by a very good source that fountain has to put merc motors in from factory.

Not even 75. Even perfectly trimmed you'd be lucky to hit 70 consistently (unless you have scott shogren, tres martin, or reggie driving that thing).

From George Denny's site, this is the boat I am remembering haveing 496's in the shootout and then bigger power the following year.

I would agree with that. And that would be on a good day.
