Congratulations, on the 42. Do you know how fast it was with the 1075s? If you are interested in a set of 1075s with transmissions PM me. They have 100 hrs on them.

Congrats on the new boat, looked like a real nice one. Good luck with the search for power, there is plenty of options out there.

Congrats!!

Thanks everyone. I will be bringing it down to Fort Myers next week to get some power put in her. It had 1075's. Still looking at my options for power. Looking for the right deal for the right motors that this boat deserves.

perfect 42 to be the first Fountain with Merc 1350s

That would be awesome!! I'm looking for some fresh 1075's. I also need headers and trannies.

Wow what a beautiful 42 Bullhead.

Glenn

Have you thought about having engines built by someone like Eddie Young, richie Zul, Dave at wesco, etc? The mercs are nice, but not cheap, and i would think you can get a better setup for similiar money from one of those builders...

Either way, congrats on the boat. That boat is on the top of my list for favorite beakers. Right up there with Bullheads boat. Keep us posted on the progress!!! :drink:

talk to eddie young , one of his customers has a pair of 1000 + hp 598 whipple motors for sale . or have him build some 1200 + whipple injected engines for you !

Yes!! Now that would be awesome. Some 1200HP whippled efi monsters in that boat, sick sick sick. Plus eddie can each one a different color to match your drives...:drink:

Thanks....I pm'ed you on some 1075's

Mark

I thought it came with the headers off the boat!!

10-4

I'm a fan of Merc power too! Good luck on your search. Awesome boat. :drink:

Now thats a pretty boat

Brian from Fountain sent me the performance report with 1075's that show it WOT doing 138 mph.

Thats a real nice number for 1075s. Looks like it was set up right.

:eek::eek:

Not to Hijack....but...Rb, are you going bigger than 1075's in yours?

Mark,
He was not planning to, as he did not feel he was going to need it, But things change daily in Nashville. To many more days like saturday, and he will have to.
LOL
Allen

Due to the pressure from the local Fountain owners in Nashville don't want to say there names (allen EB). I may be forced to buy some more ecm's... can you say 1200?

LOVE IT!!!!

That boat is gonna scream!!!:evilb:

Just promise to let me catch up with you at some point during the Chattanooga Poker Run so i can get video!!!

I'm glad I live in Chatt...otherwise you guys would have me broke!

Hey Glenn, how's the boat coming along? Motors in it yet?

thats awesome wish I had the money just to have the boat let alone the paint job. Some guys have it all

Awesome boat ! I think blue on the windsheild frame to match the bow rails would be a nice touch, but Iam just picking on perfection I know. 700's are a nice set-up

She is in ft myers beach right now being rigged by Jeff haylett with 1075's i am sure Glenn will chime in soon

Yea it looks fine.

Congrats on an awesome Fountain

I'm going to Florida next week to light it!!!!!!

Awesome, let us know how it runs!

Just out of curiosity, what does a paint job like this usually cost?

Ive heard 1k per foot for crazy stuff

I was told it was $67,500.00. It really is awesome in the sunlight. But holy smokes!!!

Going for the maiden voyage today. We stated it up yesterday for the first time. Sounds very angry.

Cheers.

How did the boat run???

Maiden Voyage
 

Well what can I say, WOW!!!! The sound of those 4 super chargers winding uptakes your hair stand up.

Great to hear!!

Glad everything is working out... If you need anything, Give us a call...:drink:

Glenn
Did you get everything worked out on the 42. What size wheels did you end up running and how fast was it.
We are head down to the Key West PR in November hope to see you there.

What happened to this rig ? how did it work out .
