Is the one in your picture a single??? It sure looks like it!!

Fun Home,

The boat in the picture is actually a twin engine 35'. Basically the popular F2 version(ie.Utz, Lake Cumberland/Rusty Wallace) with a canopy.

Re: Fountain for Super Vee Light class
 

Yeah, I don't know of ANY 35's set up with single engine, and there are hundreds of them out there. That's why this request to the homologation folks as well as Fountain is quite out of the ordinary.

Doesn't mean that it couldn't work, tho.

Thanks Shane!!! I guess that covers SBI/APBA. Now can it be legal for OSS SVL????

Re: Fountain for Super Vee Light class
 

Hey Shane,

Thanks for the reply, but I'm not sure I understand your answer to the question. Let's suppose the 35 hull, with no swim platform measures at 32'11" (although I've not been able to get this confirmed, yet). "No tolerance" to me sounds like it would be over the 32' limit, and NOT be legal for SVL.

What does "no tolerance" mean?

Re: Fountain for Super Vee Light class
 

I was just digging thru the rule books for SBI (2004) and OSS (2004)...

SBI says "Overall lengths shall be rounded off within a six (6") inch tolerance. but no specs for SVL.
OSS doesn't mention tolerances, lists OSSVL as "Length Minimum 26'0", Length Maximum 32'0".

We'll have to see how the 2005 rules shake out.

Brian,
What about a canopied version of the 32'????

Re: Fountain for Super Vee Light class
 

That's what I was wondering. The 32 in single SVL trim seems like it would be the hot setup.

Re: Fountain for Super Vee Light class
 

Just really surprised with the way this class has evolved and the time and money spends on racing that they have not come out with one yet. You agree Gordo??? How you been??

Re: Fountain for Super Vee Light class
 

Hiya Dennis! Been, cold.
Agree 100%, but I'm guessing that Reggie is going to focus on the bigger class boats since, from a boat sales aspect, that's where the better proffit margin is. That being said, I know Reggie likes his boats to dominate no matter what class they're in, and I'd think the 32 in SVL trim would scream. Of course, it would have to in order to keep up with the Extreme.
Hope you guys are staying warm up there.
