42 fountain performance?
 
I'll be finishing up my 1993 twin full stagger / bravo 42 executioner in a month or so. Hopefully lol

Running 575 -600s...bravo drives

Any idea on what it should run for cruise and top speed?

Also...what x dimension should I be running ? Bout to cut the new transom.

Thanks!

What drives?

2tonchevy 02-11-2016 11:29 AM

Bravos. ..dang forgot to put that

According to the calculator http://www.go-fast.com/boat_speed_predictions.htm you will be about 82mph. That sounds about right for a straight bottom boat.

Damn that would be badass. Thanks man!!

But idk if I can see that. Alot of guys on this forum are posting 70s with side by side straight bottom 42s...:(

My friends straight bottom 42 with side by side trs is mid to upper 70s. Never dynoed but roughly 600-625 a side.

Thanks man!

Does staggered engines make a big difference? I've heard it makes 10 mph diffference....lol....and I've heard it makes none at all

2tonchevy 02-12-2016 04:08 AM

What engines is he running ?

Not an expert, but just look around at all the performance V bottoms and the fast ones are running staggered applications, Fountain, CIG, etc. I have heard the same as you, but in the 5-10 mph range.

Exactly ! Reggie 3 said low 80s are possible with my setup
