World Speed Record Triple Outboard CC..
 

I looked with keen interest on the world record video from Fountain. They made a 38 foot fishing boat go 87MPH with 4 300Xs!! What is the record for a CC fishing boat with triples?

I find it ironic how many people wouldn't recognize the Poker Run Sanction body when Outerlimits used one for a speed record and yet here Fountain now has used one as well...:rolleyes:
I guess it is ok afterall...

Congratulations ! :drink:

Was it done with or without the Live Wells filled? :evilb:

Oh! That's right, they weren't going fishing'.... ;)

i wonder how much speed was knocked off from that t-top...

that has got to eat a fair amout of speed...

Maybe it adds lift ? :D :D

:D

Trip 275 38 Fountain is a 72-73 mph boat on its best day. If it did 83 with triples I would order one right now.

is it really that hard for you to except their determination at being the fastest.

a compliment is So much more excepted without the vinegar.

but i admire your tenacity

Some people just deny facts and make jokes to cover up their own misfortune or lack of performance.

I know it's an old thread, doesn't make it any less interesting !

a 33 invincible will do 80 with trip 300's, you could spring for the 350's to get an extra few mph.

I have opted for trip Monty 430HP.....

The OL 37 center console is good for 75 with triple 300xs's. That's with 3/4 full of fuel.

Better have a fuel truck with you with those Monty V8's.

Don't know the Monty's very well do you? Well, let me tell you. A good friend has run a set of Monty's on his 30 Scarab for the last 5 years, not only has he had zero issues with the engines but he also gets 0.9 MPG. These engines was dynoed at 390HP and he has two of them on the back. Monty does some awesome work with these engines and the results are proven over and over. Just because the trend tells one to the get the latest and greatest doesn't necessarily means that one can't keep up with an old block.

I know, I know, the new 4 strokes might have gotten him 1.0 MPG, imagine how much fuel I can get for the cost of 3 V8 Yammis.....

pics please that thing is going to fly! Put them on a faster hull and you will really have a rocket.

Well well well, life does throw you a curve ball now and then but I am back to full speed on the project. I had to store the boat for a year while we attempted to live in Atlanta, and the ants had a party with the wood in the transom. I cut the transom, pulled all the wood from transom and stringers and have numerous buckets of Arjay ready to fill the cavities. Monty has finished two of the engines ( I told him to use the time he needed and put them on the back burner until I solved the transom issue) but is now going full speed ahead with the third. Bob has mounted the nose cones on the gear boxes and will deliver the jackplates this week. So yes, it's an old thread, and old boat, old engines, and I'm an old school guy but the project is coming together very nicely and we will be boating this summer. Now I am looking for a set of trim tabs, do you know of an old set thats not made out gold like the ones in the classifieds, please let me know.

To show my lack of knowledge..........what is a monty 430...any pictures

This Avance (this one is not mine) went 95mph yes 95 mph before everyone started making CC fast. The boat was built extremely light. To the best of my knowledge this is the fastest CC. The boat is for sale and last time I saw it was in need of tlc. When the original owner had it (Gabby from GAW racing) it was nice and clean. He then sold it and built another Avance which he still has. Gabby ran it 95.
