Pic of that 42 with Arnesons...?
 
Can't find the pic I had of the Blue 42 with Arnesons and Ilmors. Was the Miami BoatShow boat I think. Anyone?

Anyone find that transom pic?

It was just over 100 in the powerboat test. Not as fast as the 700 #6 boats tested by pbm. One of the top 5 best looking fountains though.

I met Wyatt at a boat show here in Indy a few years back and he was telling me that it only went a bit over 100mph. I was really surprised because you would think with the lightweight Ilmors and arnesons that it would be faster than the same boat with big heavy 700 scis and 6 drives. After the fact it got me to wondering if that drive package didn't take out so much weight from the back of the boat that it is unbalanced and nose heavy.

Question for Rik or others

What drives are those on the Fountain. The link calls them ASD8s, but they do not have a boot and who's drop box is that?

Kris Vogt

They are ASD8 legs with a SCS drop box. A very expensive way of doing things.

Wildman_grafix 08-21-2010 10:29 AM

But is it a good way?

Well, the scs drop box places the engines at a higher location which raises the CG, they are also heavier and more costly.

Yes the ratio's can be changed quicker, but the ASD8 drop box ratio can be changed also and is not a hard job to do.
