Handles fine once you get past the 78mph chine walk deal (at least on my boat). There is a subtle trick to that part.

Above 85mph you have to focus on flying the boat level. That is real important as most of the boat is in the air. You kinda need to have a knack for that I think or it can get away from you real quick. I guess i am saying that you have to be seriously focused when driving that small a boat that fast, especially with other boats mixing up the water.

Sounds kind of hairy to me. I think the answer is no. It isn't stable at 85 and 90.

I wouldn't say it isn't stable. I am simply saying that you need to pay attention and not get complacent or you can get in big trouble. That is simply due to the speed. Too many people don't respect these things and that's when $hit happens. It is as stable as the driver is smart (and capable).

VP knows how to run his, ran next to him at 90 in nice chop one morning. No wakes to cross, ran flat and true.

I could make you a "deal" on a staggered 35 ! You know, special discount for a friend:ernaehrung004:

Thanks Kelly O for your added clarification.

As Reggie states, Fountains are the fastest and safest boats on the market (but he should add the word vee-hulls) because this is a vee and it is only 29 ft and when it goes 91+ mph you need to pay attention.


So Kelly, are you brokering a boat or is this your's that you are giving me a smokin deal on :eek: ???

VP You are welcome.
As they say, everything is for sale. Could I broker my own boat, therefore increasing my sale price while talking about myself in the third person ?:lolhit:

Wildman, seen anything available worth checking out ?

Wildman_grafix 10-21-2010 11:01 AM

No,,,,,,,,,,,, but it would be cool to see someone step up and finish the green 47 CS that was in the classifieds.:drink:
