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.

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.
