Being 6'6' is a big issue in a beak

So OK, a ringer tuned, staggered nontheless, 33 ft boat runs 100+ on what is at least 1100 HP, shortie drives (how's it come over?) and 5K props...
this is earth-shattering??

[QUOTE=berns29scarab...and its only 32ft...lol[/QUOTE]
It's a 35 ft.....How do I know? Cause Reggie said so.......How can you possibly question a man of Reggie's integrity? (see Cat Killer thread)
If you don't stop, he's gonna back the screws out of the rub-rail on the beak and the platform a few turns and introduce the new "36 ft Fountain, Special Edition"
So there !!!!

Bottom line here guys is the boat is friggin' fast ! 100+ out of any 525 boat is awesome, 33' 35' whatever... Fountain should be commended for continually raising the bar.
BTW, I'm not a Fountain owner, but I do respect their boats.

I'd be surprised of Reggie using an Arneson, considering his loyalty to Mercury.
So are there two new 35' Fountains with 525's running 103 mph? One with Bravo XR's and one with Arnesons?
Still waiting for an answer from someone other than Rik of Arneson industries.

By the way you misquoted him, this is what he said
"If you haven’t noticed, it’s 2006’ soon to be 2007’. A 35’ Fountain with 525’s runs 103 and Arneson Surface Drives do work."
If you notice he said Arneson Surface drives do work, not what you said he posted which is that Arneson Surface drives do the work. Two completely different statements, didn't see where he said the Fountain had Arnesons on it.
