1350's in a 42
 

Has anyone put 1350's in a 42? If so, where? How did it go?

Would be cool to see one with 1350's for sure.....

Thought I read they were 200k each. Not sure if that included the drives and props. Sounds like an expensive upgrade! Bet it would fly :-)

Or 1700's...ftw. :bunnydance:

i think i read somewhere they were $206,000 with M8's strapped to them.

Oh that's it??? I'll take two please...:eek:

they are down to 150 ish now..

I'll let you know as soon as I hit the Powerball :D

down to 150k mrfixxall? So 300k to repower your boat... I never should have gone into education... LOL

Probably not in my financial future!--just curious if anyone had done it. I think the famous "fastest V-hull" run was done with Sterling 1550's -- Dramatic video if you haven't seen it. Where did Triple X go? If you've seen the video you know what I'm talking about. Hopefully, someday soon, someone will put that power(1350's) to that hull-- should be extraordinary!

Agree... Great hull & good theread started !

Would like to see more peoples experiences with 42 fountains

Recently R.jr stated 135 with 1075's that is impressive ... Wonder if that was a PR or cabin/ lightning....?...

Cabin/ lightning 42 will run 135 mph with 1075s. The poker run 42 runs alittle over 140 mph.

If TRL505 ever finds a set of #6's we can all find out. Until he does, my boat is still faster...

Edit: but he (TRL505) will always be a homosexual...

I plan on having RF patch the transom completely, and you will tow me all summer long. You will need my boat to haul cases of oil to keep your razorblade ring 575's running.

:bunnydance:

I am thinking a couple x power drives might be a fast set up on that hull..
I have 2 new 598's could add chargers & be 1100 horse
Just wonder if x power would be faster than #6/ tranny.

Oh on a full cabin boat.....sent to rf boats for setup!

It would definitely be fast.

1075's 1.35 gears 17X38 = 135 it works !

Would love to have a set of 1350's

I would love to put a set in your boat.

Only one thing stoping us....$$$$$$$$$$$$ Maybe Someday

come on B... you know you wanna!

I better not start because I know for sure what a set would do in mine and I don't want to come off that kind of coin... maybe the next one!

I set of 1350s in your mti would be scary fast.

I going back to old and slow next time. Ha

??
 

old and slow????? i will stop by today and take you to the emergency room to get checked out, maybe your t levels are getting low

Reggie, in your opinion, If I was to buy a new boat, what is the best hull (manufactured today) to go fast in?

Cat hull 40+ ft
and v hull 40+ft

THanks in advance..

42 fountain
48 mti
50 mystic

Thanks for the caring thought .......but my T Levels are just fine.

I guess Fran will have to ride with me then :party-smiley-004:

I didn't know Fountain was still building boats post Reggie and sons.
Who would want one built by anyone less?

True! Hahaha..

That is true, that being said the outerlimits sv43 would be my second choice.

What you doing over here snooping around?.....it will be hard to get Fran out of the 42.

I always keep an eye on my Fountain bros.....Scott Shogren told me at Loto last year that going from a 1075 to a 1350 felt almost like going from a 525 to a 1075....your boat with the 1350 package would be ridiculous.....and don't try that $ thing on me....I see what they are charging for Cummins these days :helmet:

It would be a 150 plus mph boat.

That might be a little exciting with a little wind blowing.

It would be a fun ride.

from what im hearing hear locally and the rumors on these type of sites i think its going to be a kick a#%s shootout year for records..bring it on!!!

It definitely is gonna be a great shootout.

Yes it would... It gets a little exciting in mine with a cross wind and I can imagine a V would really be a reason to pucker!
