In 2001 I went 101mph GPS in my 92 27' fever. That'l tighten ya up. I won class at the shoot out at LOTO, 98mph.

Since then I removed the blower (drive issues).

Is this your boat? I saw this one at Smoke on the Water. Had a 900+ hp motor, supposed to do the same speeds as you mentioned. Awesome!

Hi Jim:

A customer of mine is headed for LOTO with his 27 Fountain. He has a 540 with GM iron heads, solid roller, big centrifugal blower, Nickerson carb and Rtech supercooler. You have set a serious benchmark there and it would be an achievement to come anywhere close to it.

Good luck, I don't think so.

10x... where did you go?

bigair, 10x posted in the Fountain Pics thread over the Winter (post #185):

His is (was) a 10-Meter with blown 557ci motors and SSM-V's. I thought me might have had it for sale. Nevertheless, the boat deserves a mention on this thread. Might not be the fastest Fountain, but he may be top dog in the 33/35 range.

Cheers,
Brian
