I understand the concept of LOA with or without a "beak" or "molded in swim platforms"...and if your 22' Progression had a "beak" and "molded platform" it would still only be about 2' long at speed - because that's all that's in the water at speed...which is exactly my point.

welcome...whats your name and where abouts are ya from ? i've also got a single engine 27 (kryptonite) with a stock 500 efi which runs a touch over 80. i will be using her as a bay bomber and hopefully racing class 5 with the OPA as well. dont go north of the mantoloking bridge much, usually spend most of the time from Kettle Creek n south to Manahawkin. i'm very good friends with Danny, Drew, and the rest of the crew over at Bandit Racing and you've motors in good hands. Danny is the man when it comes to building solid "reliable" power. here's a pic of her in her current trim, however she's going to be getting completely DE-vinyled shortly.

I thought P5 was 75 and under

Small prop and MSD Soft touch never hurt anyone

ummmm no. Mine is and always has been a single.

By all means it is not a normal 29 Fever. It is a F1 race version. Yes some pleasures did come with twins, but I am pretty sure more singles in recent years were produced.

TED, the "P" was dropped years ago, its Class 5 now.

Damn, lucky I'm not in charge of the race anymore, I don't know WTF I'm talking about

Ted, I hear Ocean City could use a new race director/Promoter??? You did a great job with Cambridge!!

I appreciate that but we are fine just doing Solomon's and I will actually get to finish being President at some point, we are gonna keep Mikey as Race Director forever

Your 29' is a new step-bottom, not an older straight V?

The 27' Fountain that this thread is about is a straight V.
