42ft triple engine
 
I'm looking at a 1995 42ft fountain with triple 525sc looking for some info guys first would it be a hard boat to sell cause of triples second question the guys clams it runs 90 mph what do you guys think it may run speed wise & last question would it be worth pulling the centre motor /drive / transom assimbley out I can do the work my self so it won't cost me much money to do that

There's been discussions about pulling center engine and having it be twin. And it was decided it's a tub on a boat that way.

I think 90 is possible. My 98 started life as a trip 525sc boat and supposedly ran 93.

A friend had a 95 with trip 525sc it would run 90.

Staggered twin.

What might the speed lost be by pulling out the centre motor

i friend has a classic 42 with the big steps and I think it ran high 70's with Bulldogs.

I was told 10 mph loss by pulling the centre motor & drive out

indysupra 03-15-2016 04:06 PM

I bet it's alittle more than 10mph
