Great number if those are stock 1075's!!! Is it a full cabin or a PR?
Congrats, that's one fast 42! |
That is flat haulin. I cannot immagine that level of speed in a boat.

Several people will remember this boat, it originally had 850's and 1.5 ratio drives when it was new. We purchased this boat back last November and change it over to 1075' and 1.35 ratio drives. Everything was purchased from Mercury to change it over. ECM's, blower pulleys, and camshafts, the boat ran over 132 in the spring but didn't like the 6 blade props at that speed. We ran 17-38-5blades 16 rake yesterday, I think we are getting close. The boat is really a fun piece now, thanks’ to all for the positive comment. Also it would not have been possible without the help from EB Marine in Nashville and Brian at Fountain.

That's hauling the mail brother... I always thought those 6 Bl props lifted the transom too much! Now it will carry the bow a little better and roll. Very Nice Run
Did you pass the house yesterday? I heard someone running hard up the lake but they were past the cove before I looked out... Must've been a fountain! |

That was a nice pass this afternoon. Thanks to you and Eric for going with me today and helping me with the boat this season. Maybe we can squeeze it for a little more mph next spring.

Mark (bullhead), I'm thinking the first set of 1350's in a 42 Fountain is just what you need!! Nashville group is hauling A$$! :drink: |
