Simple question for Fountain owners with twins.
Since I'm not having much luck gathering info in my other thread....
What is your X dimension?
(the distance from from the crankshaft centerline directly down to the running surface).
Please include boat size and stepped bottom or not.
Or if you don't know that, just let me have a measurement from the bottom of your bravo gimbal plate to the notch in your transom.
Thanks guys! I'd really appreciate the info.

Zanie,
What boat are you wanting these spec's for. I saw your other post and if you have no luck I am going down to LCM to pick our boat up from Randy...( getting her winterized
) it is an 05 Lightning with xr's off the back. I could take some transom measurements if these would help?

bobkatz the boat has 502mpi,s 1.5 gears and had 26 hydrmotives the boat would run about 72 when I got it I went to the shorties and the boat would not come on plain with the hydromotives I changed to 28 bravos and the boat jumped on plain and the cruise at 3500 was about 5 mph faster top end went to 76.1 the best I have seen, and most days about 75 I really like the shorties I traded for the ones I have but I dont think I would go out and spend 4000 dollars on a set.

Re: Simple question for Fountain owners with twins.
How about prop depth?
The distance from your running surface to the propshaft centerline.
3.5, 4.0, 4.5, 5.0?
Throw a guy a bone here, huh?
Thanks!

Thanks again for all your help with the Q&A on transom repair.
Sheesh, what a job. My digital camera broke a while back, so I haven't taken any photos in while. I'm going to post a start to almost finished thread next month.
I haven't seen many posts from you lately on your progress.
Can you check the prop height on your boat for me?
Trim the drives level with the running surface.
Hold a straightedge onto the bottom of the boat , directly in line with the propshaft.
Measure the vertical distance down to the centerline of the propshaft.
It's a handy measurement to know anyway, if you have your props "worked".
