99 Staggered 42 Speed Question
 

Hello everyone. New to the forum. Been Cabin Cruising for 15 years. Decided to add a fountain to the family. In the process of getting a 99 42 staggered, 2 steps with 500hps. What max mph can I expect, and what if any quick upgrades can I do to get the mph higher. Thanks

I'm thinking they run upper 70s. Maybe right at 80. 99 was the big step which I don't believe was the fastest bottom although a good one just not the fastest. Best upgrade depending on hours and motor condition is whipples.

Is it the all white one at Pier57?? I agree with ICUL... upper 70's. and also agree on the whipple upgrade...

Thanks Gents. Yes HyFive it is the one at Pier 57. Having the full survey done (compression checks and all)

That's a good lookin boat

Nice!! Congrats!! You'll love it.. the 42 is the best Fountain hull.. good looking boat too.. but I'm a little partial to all white with blue accents...LOL...

Haven't even signed for it yet, and I'm looking for someone to chop that window down. I think that makes a huge difference!!!

Check out what these guys are doing with a 47 fountain. Pretty cool look to me and it's different. I am a huge fan of the race fairings myself.

Sweet Boat!

Mr SRL , did you happen to see the other 2000 42 lightning there at peir
57 ? Does any body know this boat. How does it compare to the one your picking up
as far as condition its in.yours looks very sweet for its age. You will love it.

Thanks Guys, can't wait to close and be apart of the Fountain Family. Color Me Bad, the 2000 Lighting is a great boat as well, just 10k more than Im looking to spend for a 2nd boat. With twice the dock and storage fees now...
