I think you are officially the "Cigarette Guru" :D

I love that 39 TG Unlimited with the 850's. The blue hull looks awesome!!!

Have they built a 42X with 850's, and if so what's the difference in speed?

Not that I have heard of. Everyone I have seen has had Sterlings, Zulls, or the 1075's. That blue boat is nice! Those 850's would be great where you can't get 93

I rode in J&J's 42x w/ 850's last weekend. There were 6 people in boat w/ full fuel and we saw 97mph or so and that was just a brief sprint. They said 103 w/ normal load. Those 850's acted more like 500efis than 850's, they were very cool.

Powerboat lipship with ZUL 700's ran 101, then in PRA it says 850's ran like 105. Doesn't make sense but 110+ sounds more accurate for the 850's.?????

I heard that the PRA article was all BS and the boat still has the Zul's in it. Can anyone confirm. It looked like the same pics from Powerboat with the Lip-Ship stuff photoshopped out.

:confused: :confused:

If the boat does have Merc's in it, I'll delete my post

The purple Lip-Ship 39 has Zul 700's with XR's. The Blue Mercury 39 has 850sci's and 6's. The blue 39 accelerated harder than any vee bottom I've been in. :cool:

Oh my god what was I thinking. I deserve a lynching, get the noose. The blue 39 accelerated faster than any other boat I've rode............except WickedWon.

I can only hope now that WickedWon will take pity on me and forgive for this oversight. I tremble in it's presence........ :D :D

PRA always uses different pics, and sometimes pics from 2 different boats in the same article????

We have boat boats here @ J&J Sales in Ohio. We ran the 42X W/850's & 6's last weekend at the LEOPA run. I had 6 on board in 2-3's full fuel,97+gps and was not twisted up. On dead calm water Wednesday it ran 99.8.......Our 39 Unlimited runs 87 W/525...... The 39' w/850's would be the best package and run about 110-116........I want to thank all from LEOPA for a great run/time last weekend. We are looking forward to doing many more events in the future. The Great Lakes dealer for CIGARETTE/Fountain..J&J Sales in Ohio.Thanks,
Marc
