Try adding a 1" spacer and removing the diffuser ring. You should pick up a couple of mph. Jonas bought my fountain which had all of this done to it. Fountain copied my set up on the boat in powerboat. I was spinning 35 pitch 5 blade herrings without the diffuser ring at 5600

GATORONE,
A few questions:
Didn't you have -2 Sportmasters on the Fountain?
Did you add a 1" spacer to this setup?
Did you try Hydromotive 5 blades?

Hello Josh;

I placed a call into Fountain and you should be receiving a call from the man himself. Also, Rob had a lenghty discussion with Jeff Harris concerning your boat. Rob will be giving you a call.

Candyman, I have not decided if I am going with a wild graphics or keep it simple like the last yellow 42 I owned. Also, the purple boat is for sale, I will sell the purple boat with or without power. If you choose power you can purchase it with the 1250 HP Cobras or any engine package yoy desire, I will price it out accordingly.

Eddie,
I talked to Rob and i think we are going to go run it here pretty soon and he said he's got a whole list of things from Jeff that he's going to check out! I appreciate what you guys are doing for us. I'll be looking for that call. Thanks again

Josh- hows it going? I saw your boat last week, looks great with all the new detail in the engine compartment. If you are testing this weekend ill see you there.

Uncle Eddie- i cant wait to see the new boat. It will be good to have another "Yellow Boat" around.

See you guys this weekend.
-Matt

Matt,
Things are going good....we are just trying to get this boat back into whack. something is just not right but with the help of eddie, rob, and the guys from fountain, i bet we get things going in the right direction. I think it is going to be 2 weekends or so before we are down there so....Look forward to seeing you down there!

Gatorone,
What size was your boat and what kind of power did it have?.......speed???
