How about a curve ball?

Velocity 390. Staggard merc 700's, cabin etc., and 115mph.

Consistantly running hard in 3-5' sees is going to beat the cr@p out of any boat with a finished cabin. If that is your primary intended use, I would highly recommned looking into race syle boat like the Donzi ZRC, Fountain PR or better yet a Saber or Apahe. Whatever you do, make sure it has speedmasters.

The 42PR is 2 boats past the 38, it's docked beside the Nortech.

Nobody would want to ride (on) a fountain in 4-6's....

I was on a 38 Fountain turn boat at the 2005 Orange Beach race. We ran all the way through the infield to turn one in 3-5s at 60mph it was like getting hit by Mike Tyson. :angry-smiley-038:
