With 700's the boat easily ran into the 120's where it was deemed very unsafe, so it was de-tuned to stay below 120. Legal liability and safety were huge concerns of the dealer and Fountain so as soon as it was traded the factory put 600's in it.
I will set it up to maximize the 600's potential, while keeping the boat safe.

You now own the planets most awesome 35 Fountain, there is nothing out there that's even close. Nice move Kelly! Just be sure you come thru on the rocket ride. I would die for the chance to see the Fastec Frown up close!!! :drink:

BTW Looks like I will be down in Syracuse helping the HBW cause at the boat show maybe we can get together and get that up close look at the Mitcher T masterpiece while I'm down there.

35' Lightning
 
Wow Kelly, that power in your new boat is awsome! I checked out your old boat on Shogens web site and am thinking about calling them on a trade with my 47' with triple 525's. Just bought a canal property in Florida and the lift will only accommodate up to a 35'. Besides, the 47' is a bit to much to trailer from our house on the water in Maryland. Where did you run your old boat and what are the hours on boat and motors? Did it have air? Any known problems? Thanks and good luck with the new ride!

Very impressive! What do you expect to get out of the boat with some degree of safety? I think I saw this boat on the Boat Trader a while back for a short time. Then.....Poof it was gone! :evilb::evilb::evilb:
