Don't know if he's on OSO though.

P.S. - Fountaindriver, do you know what 2005 42' hull you are getting? I hear that #1 & 2 are in production now. My friend has #4 in line & they are saying early August for delivery.

what kind of power does it have the 38 ??
real curious..
i cant say much here,, but i can say that the guy that owned the boat i have now ran over 106.. most i have seen my chicken ass is 95 ish.. dam that is flyin going from 82 ish to 95 is a big diff.. so got a ways to go,, still learning.. and i will need the herrings to do it,i'm sure.

maybe bill pyburn will chime in and give the real scoobage on my boat, he built went thru the headaches dialing it in..

It's me and I have a picture of the GPS to prove it!




You did say "slowest Fountain on OSO", right? I think 10X is running in the low teens. That boat is a rocket!

27,
All I know is the new 2005 42' Hull is redesigned & supposed to be faster. They also replaced the cabin doors with a new slider.

Hello Downtown 42

The boat you have pictured is "Pair of Dice" I bought that boat last year and ran it while my purple boat was being dialed in. It was a "SWEET" ride, 900 SC's that never gave me a moments problem.

My new boat will be basically the same thing except I am considering going with raised hatches in place of the scoops, what do you think, scoops or raised hatches.

At what hours do motors like that need to be redone, and what's the cost?? Have been thinking about upgrading the boat to larger size and big power, but not sure what power. I am looking for a small education... What speed range would you expect from a 42 with 1350'S??? Thanks for the info...

I previously have been a scoop fan, but your purple boat had the big hatches and that does look sweet also. Tough decision for me.

I know Rick's old yellow boat and you had it. I live 30 min. from him. He is immaculate in all areas A-Z. Only wish I could have owned her.
