Thanks. Fenderjack, it's got 509ci 600 hp motors in it. 80mph. Still has TRS's on it. Bought outta Bohemia River last August. Ran the rest of season, then ripped it apart cause one motor had a blown head gasket, hurt a few pistons, & I wanted to repaint everything. Was happy when motor builder told me they were 509's. Guy who bought it from knew nothing about the motors, just they were built at Ocean Performance in 2004, before he bought it. Also has new style interior done by Fountain. Where's the updates on your 10 meter? I've been looking.

That is good mph, esp for having the Trs'- trans. I just started working on mine again, been busy, the heat has been brutal. I was not going to have any part of sanding or glassing in 100deg temps, 85% humidity, lol. I will have to refresh my thread. Got the transom assemblies/ tabs and all off the back. Paint shouldn't be to far out.

looking good!!!! look at all the room in that engine bay!! wish the 2 fountains i just rigged were std deck blocks. that little bit makes a HUGE difference in between the motors.
you have a very fine example of a clean classic fountian!! congrats!!

Sweet looking ride.... is that a true race fairing ? which props you running for that 80 mph performance ? Reason for all the questions, I have an 89' just trying to squeeze a little more out of her. again, great looking classic ride you have there !

It's got mirage 3 blades. 13x25's. Fairing is aluminum & was supposed to be put on at Fountain when interior was updated on 05.
