The performance sheet for my fountain is a scribbled mess - my props spin in.https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...3f531a3f20.jpg

See... it is my old eyes. LOL
I've never seen that documented on a Performance Report. Wonder if they were playing with drive heights on that particular hull, and determined that 'out' was the faster setup on that boat. Such that they documented it.

Not sure. Mine doesn't mention it either. I know at 19X mine 16 3/8 so I need some -3s. Lol |
Still, I would call to confirm "Outboard Rotation" meant props turning out, since this is kind of a weird place to put this info instead of on the same line as the prop size...

My friends 575 35 has them spinning out from Fountain. |
I have the same Fountain and my test sheet shows pretty much the same a yours, 91 mph @ 5400 rpm. IMHO I would just keep the props spinning out the way Fountain set it up. The fastest I‘ve run in fresh water is 88 mph with half tank of fuel and 4 adults. Might have nursed more speed but it was fast enough for me. I cruise around 50 mph @ 3500 rpm. It’s very easy to get on plane, has impressive acceleration and handles the Great Lake water quite well, though I do my best to avoid 6 footers (my wife is not impressed when the bow stuffs and water comes over the windscreen lol.). I’ve owned mine for 4 years and still love it. Good luck with your purchase. |
Actually the bow stuff happened in my old Baja. The fountain hull does a great job at keeping bow on top and water splash to the sides. All this to say the Fountain handles well in big water. |
