WHAT IS THE SPEEDS ON A FOUNTAIN 32 AND 35 WITH 500'S .EVERY THING THAT I READ STATES THAT THE 32 IS @ 80+ AND THE 35@85+ . THIS SEEMS TO ME THAT WITH THE SAME POWER THE SMALLER BOAT WOULD BE FASTER.

WHAT ABOUT THE EARLY MODLES 1998-2000 ?

Same thing. I don't know about the earlier 90s models though. (non step)

Fever Mike,

Please stop saying the 29 is faster than a 27 w/ same power. I have run against two 29 w/ same power and passed both of them with no problems. One right after the guy argued that his 29 was faster, not. The only way a 29 is faster is in rough water. Both times I was running in freash and great conditions. Unless you have personally passed a 27 w/ same power running WOT. Please stop spreading rumors. I would hate to see you eat your words.

Will,


Ask Reggie. He'll tell you what's up.

You might edge out a 29' if the guy had six people, a full tank of gas, a 72 quart cooler filled with booze, a full fresh water tank, hadn't cleand out his ****ter in a while, running at half throttle with his tabs down and drive tucked!

OK I will bring it on,. I will be at Lake Murray SC on April 28 and my home all summer SML in VA. Also looking at going down to Savanna, and once to Ocala. May be the two 29s I raced just wernt set up right. However I know I had just fueled all the way up and I had more people on board and everyone could not believe it happened but it did. This individual bragged quiete a bit. As for selling the 29, well their is more profit for them. And agin in rough, such as racing conditions I don't doubt it, I don't know I don't race.


for the 32 and 35 I have no idea other than what I read, Also what does the conf on Fountain say, I can't pull it up for some reason??

Will

I didn't think the 35 "became" faster than a 32 UNTIL the introduction of the twin step hull. I could be wrong but the smaller boat theory should be true on the single stepped hulls. I've never run with a 35 with the same power as I have, but it sure seems like it would be slower with the single or no step unless it got rough, then when the advantage takes place you really don't get your true "top speed" cause you're not in the water enough.

But, I must add that each boat is different. One boat may be faster than another (same boat) with no real reason. One factory motor may put out 5 hp than another, you really never know without checking.

No problem Mike,

Hey I am assuming that is a pic of your dash, looks really cool did you do it your self or from Fountain???

The single step 35's were running 82-84 with 500 EFI's. I'm not sure if these were Reggie speeds or GPS. I always thought the 32's were faster than the single step 35's by a couple mph.

27Fountain,
What power do you have and what is the best GPS speed on flat water?

Fever Mike,
What is your best GPS speed on flat water? Does your boat run harder with a light chop? Are you running in salt water? Nothing like BOARD racing!

BTW, we have snow flurries tonight.

I just got a new dash from these guys.

Team Marine makes them. They cost more if you buy them from Team Marine.
