The boat was tested today wth 5 people, 70 gallons of fuel and 45 degree temperature. I am happy to report that this boat ran 106MPH with this load. Be sure to stop by the FOUNTAIN booth and look at the new 38'."
Re: Fountain's new 38 does 106 with 600's?

Just want to help clear up some questions.
1) 109MPH with one person. Slow to get on plane.
2) 106 with five people and 70 gallons of fuel
3) Spacer put in to take lag out of coming on plane.
Will be tested again after MIAMI before it goes to new owners home. Should run consistant 104 with load.

Dont worry Fountains reign at the top of the racing circuit will
come to an end just like the builders before him.
Some up and comer will build a better mouse trap.

comes to mind but we'll save that for another thread.A little anger in your post?
You know as well as every otherperson on this board Apaches are far from being "sorry ass".
