Sick boat, PERFECT power and drive package.


BUT, what is it with Fountain and these dash designs? They still have all the gauges jammed up around the wheel. I know there is only so much room, but that just looks like it was poorly thought out.

Didn't see powerboat report, but that boat is also in Jammin On The James video, helmed by Wyatt, and showing 98 on the speedo.
Shame that they put a music soundtrack covering the engines sound, though.

Btw, why ASD and not Ilmor drives? Maybe to get the props closer to the centreline, because they couldn't fit the engines closer even if staggered?
Any ideas?

If the speed is only around a 100MPH why wouldn't some one just purchase the 700 merc package that is 110 plus and 300k less?

The boat was built before the ilmor drive came out i think, I'd like to hear what those engines sound like I've never heard them before

Badass boat. I read the article. One of my favorite built so far.

I have to agree????? I thought arneson drives were faster and Ilmor is lighter, so why is this boat slower?? It should be smoking a 700/#6 set up. ???????????

I was thinking the same thing, and I thought most of the guys with the merc package have full cabins?

Why would this one be slower?
