Adding Speed to a 42' Fountain
 

I have a 2004 42' Fountain with staggered 525's and in about a year I am looking for some things to do to add some MPH, any suggestions or ideas would be great. Also I am looking for anyone who has aftermarket props with the same boat, please post your result. Thank You

I am currently getting in the range of 84-86 due to upgraded props, but im looking for better, alot better.

Do they make whipple kits for those motors?

I was at the factory the day the boat was finished and went on the maiden voyage and hit 84, this was the end of March (cooler temp). I boat in Oklahoma and have been going 80, I put lab 4 blade Bravos on and have been 82. I feel with cooler temp I should be 85?

I am curious if anyone out there is using whipples on the 525 efi's in a 42', if so how has the reliability been and what type of speeds are you getting. What octance requirements for gas do they need?

Any input would be appreciated as I am seriously considering installing them.

Try herring 6 blade props.
Well worth the price, should pick up 2-4 MPH.
