42 fountain straight bottom 100 mph
whats it take ...say a triple bravo set up or twin # 6 set up
if memory serves correctly..I thought reggie had around 1200 per side in the old ohio steel 42 when he set it at 123.....remember the triple scarab vs fountain twin wars of the 90's |
not as much as it did back then just raise the drives and put good props on the drives used to be deeper because the prop tech wasnt what is now

You eliminate most the guess work if you can find the hull efficiency and to the estimated total in the water weight the boat will be at test time. You can then just plug in various HP options to get the desired speed. (see the Speed Calculator on the BAM website).
I would start by trying to find the owner of the Ohio Steel boat and see if they can help you with weight, drive height, hull efficiency, etc. The low cost way to 100MPH+ in a old 42" Fountain? Buy Ohio Steel! |

Woops.........I meant 42'. 42" is the amount you subtract to get the actual length :drink:

The 3 engine boats ran 90-95
