This thing is sweet! These Sterling 1500's came out of Gone Again. Yep, # 6 dry sumps. The boat was rigged at Fountain and arrived on the west coast last night. She's gonna' see water tomorrow for sea trials and set up.

Re: New 42
 

We're looking for 120 -130'ish. I'll give full report by 5pm pacific time! :drink:

All I know is t hat speedo's gonna' look cool pegged!

Re: New 42
 

No Chit... you have to post that pic! Wow.. 130 is unreal... good luck and be careful! :drool:

Re: New 42
 

Yeah well it won't be with me at the helm.... unfortunately. I don't think it's gonna' quite get there but the owner is convinced it will so it should be entertaining at least.

Smart money says it'll cough a lung first. That I DON'T want to see.

Re: New 42
 

Seriously.... I hope he doesnt think it is a "turn key" 130 set up.... he might pop a nut within 30 minutes....

Re: New 42
 

This guy's seasoned, he knows better than that. This isn't 1st seriosly chit-hot rig but by far the baddest.

Re: New 42
 

should see upper 120's no problem. Post more pics.

Re: New 42
 

Morning guys. It's bloody cold and there's frost on all the roof tops but I'm headed for the water now. I keep you posted later on today.

Re: New 42
 

Cool... should run great in the cooler weather!

Re: New 42
 

with 1500 hp you should see 140 easy 120 with 1200 corba may be 150 robbie :drink: :drink: :drink:

Re: New 42
 

My 42 Fountain with yje 1200 HP Cobras ran 126 MPH, (122 @ the kilo run at the factory) I have another 42 Fountain that should be finished before Christmas. This one is gelled yellow with dry sump #6 drives with 1350 HP Sterlings.

I am hoping for the low 130's with my new ride.

Update!

Re: New 42
 

where are our updates. how fast is she . :D :D :D

Re: New 42
 

Yo ! Sorry but it was a busy weekend. 1st runs where disappointing to say the least. She ran high 90's and that was it. Seems to have a problem on the Starb motor. Also has some serious rigging issues to work out. Lot's of stuff lose or not working properly. Sure looked and sounded great from dock side though.

Re: New 42
 

What a shame. I bet he spent big $$$$$ on that ride expecting it to kick a$$ and take names. :mad:

All the 1500's I've seen from Sterling had PSI blowers. Any particular reason why the change? Just curious. Thanks...Frank

Re: New 42
 

No idea. The motors have been around for a while so I don't know what's been done to them.

Re: New 42
 

Keep us updated......BAD A$$ boat !
