I had one, traded it to Shogren Marine several years ago. Scott and I were talking in Miami at the boat show, and I asked about the boat. He said that the owner might be trading it back. Give him a call or email.

It was an 06, and we loved it. Just wanted to go faster, so we traded it on a 38/700 boat.

The best it ran was 93. We were running XR shorties with 5 blade Maximuxs props. That was how Fountain had the boat set up from the factory.

3/4 staggered, really a base boat, basic graphics, standard interior. It had a vacuflush head. Basic audio package. Thats about it.

Great thanks BB. Imco shorties at -1 or -2 inchs. I have heard that the 2" shorites raise the X dimension to high on the 3/4 staggered boats. Just looking for what your experience was. I am looking at a 38 with worked over 575's 3/4 staggers with a speed claim of 100. The gentlemen says that it runs best with the xr lowers cause he doesn't have the imco shoties dialed in. So I am trying to figure if it is worth the cash to get the shorties and get it figured out. Any help would be very appreciated.
