The Ilmor idea would be cool. But as I have stated in the thread on the fountain forum, money is, unfortunatly, an object
But as things often goes for performance boating, I probably end up diggin' deep in the wallet and do it the fun way.

There is a reason that Reggie never put twins in the 27. Look at the 29 with twins....the swim platform is almost level with the water. There is just simply too much weight at the back end for a 27. With that said, i do love the look of a really low lying Fountain. I would go with a single big block pushing around 600hp or so. I've never seen a single screw Ilmor Fountain so that would be a very unique and cool boat. Just my opinion though, i would love to see some pics as you work on it.
