Ran the 42 today, first time in the water & first pass picked up almost 20 mph & there's more left. The boat ran great.

Just got back from RF. WOW. What a great experience. Reggie, Lil Reggie and Wyatt treated me and my brother like Kings. Great Family...with TONS of knowledge...Thank you to all the Fountains (The Family that is).

Had a small engine hickup...the Stbd motor is going back to Tyler next week...looks to be a water reversion issue...possibly a leak in the header....such is life.

Good news is...

1.boat ran 110MPH @ only 5400 RPM, and with one sick motor. Lil R is going to pull the 1" spacer out to get it to spin to 5800. Motors were not making near peak HP @ 5400....there is a lot left on the table as far as speed goes. Lil R couldn't even air it out for more than a few seconds till the motor issue came up.

2. Everything RF did/suggested we do added significant speed to the boat. (water pickups, raising drives, blueprinting bottom, Wilson Blueprint of lowers, Hering Props...etc)

Bad news is:

1. We are running out of boating season and I want to run this *****!!!:evilb:

Im not just saying this to be a suck ass...but, anyone who is either perplexed or stumped on how to get more speed out of their boat....give RF a call. We have been struggling for years on the right setup...and in a little less than a month they had it figured out.

Thanks again guys!
