I forgot about the njppc events you do. Anyway like I said earlier I am looking forward to seeing you out in the bay this year!

Great . pull up and say hello,lets hang out and cruse somewhere fun. greig.

My 27 Fountain with a single step has a 540 ci, 700+ HP, 28" labbed Bravo 1 has done 85.8 mph on the GPS.

I have a new prop to try this year. 29" labbed Cutting Edge prop.
This prop has a little more diameter to cut down on slippage. Can't wait to try it out.

:bsflag: Aren't the 29's twin's?

I've seen 29 fevers with singles and twins

that was it 61 and some change. w/people and full of fuel..

We've sold both singles and twins. The singles have always been faster though.

I'd be willing to bet that JimV has spent countless hours getting to the speeds he achieves...and numerous set-up changes...so much more to it than just an extra 100 horsepower give or take:coolcowboy:
I'm not throwing water on your campfire, just pointing out the boat your comparing yours to is not just another boat with more hp...much more to the story

I don't disagree at all with all the warnings given so far, but what the OP is aiming at is indeed feasible.
And yes, with a NA engine, a non stepped 27 Fever, and a Bravo drive.

PS: ooops, sorry, I posted this before seeing that the thread had more than one page, and didn't realise it has already been posted...

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. :drink::drink::drink:

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 :lolhit::lolhit:

Small prop and MSD Soft touch never hurt anyone:coolcowboy::evilb::drink:

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:drink:.

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

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 :lolhit:

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

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

I was not aware they came with singles. I looked at one before I bought my current Boat and it had twins. I assumed they all were built that way. That's what I get for assuming..

The F1 race version? I guess would explain the "above normal speed" for a boat with that power. What is different? Weight I would imagine for one thing..

There was a 32' single sunsation running in the low 90's with a ton of HP.

Its another Pit Bull lol

weight is 4600 dry and it has no cabin. Bottom has been blue printed 3 times and some other misc stuff

pics of it are at www.tntoffshore.com in the multimedia section 2009 and prior

Do i have to choke a ***** out???:coolcowboy::evilb::drink:

I thought someone had an old 90s skater with a KE engine and a single 6 drive around there.......the boat was a yellow cat.

Thanks
 

ita1iansta11ion1...I just want to say "THANKS!" for a great thread...I really enjoyed it ! :drink::drink::drink:

I know the 27 fever and I am on the Barnaget Bay and it is a hand full to drive over 70 on a weekend with all the boat traffic!!!! My 10 meter does 78 and I destory my buddies 27 fever that runs the same speed cause he can't hang on to it on the weekends..Only in the am or late afternoons he can do the speeds..Look out for berns29 scarab with his 27 kyrptonite he will give you a beatin!!!!LOL.Lookout for my old boat I sold it to a guy and it is rite behind East Dover marina. It is a all white 27 excalibur and it has the name in blue Pandemonium on the side. He will give you a run for the money... When I ran it it ran 86 all day long.... Have fun this summer with it.....

i had a run in with pandemoneum last september and a quick blast towards the seaside bridge and i was out in front. thats when i was 500hp. hope to see that boat this summer b/c i am in the area. update on motor, just dyno'd, 510ci, single 4-bbl, n.a., 9.8:1, 700hp@6300, 650tq@5200. thanks to bandit performance marine.

low 80 mph boat

bring your wallet
 

Only time I saw you out there was last October. As I recall I was toying with you when I hurt my engine. Anyway I will be in the water this week SO BRING YOUR WALLET !!!!!!!::angry-smiley-038: PANDEMONIUM

Absolutely Greig!! Looking forward to it. I know its early, but when are you planning on being down?

Dude this has got to be your first speed boat...Your already saying how fast your going to be. Okay your Motor dynoed 700hp get it in the boat and see what it runs. Every buddy says there boat runs faster than it does..It takes time to dial it in with the right prop. I bet money that the 502 you had in it with the aluminum heads and the single plane intake with an 850 and headers made more than 500hp more like 550 or more. so get it in and see what it runs......Just sayin

I feel like trailering my Baja up there this summer, sounds fun and competitive.

All I got to say is come summer time its game over for all you single engine boats and even some twin engine boats (robert) in the barnegat bay! :party-smiley-004:

pandemonium
 

ding ding..........let the games begin

Erik I can't wait for you..I want my prop back lol....

+1

Didnt he say earlier he was just talking smack trying to get a little fun rivalry going? Seeing as how I am right in that area, I have found this thread to be mildly entertaining and interesting to to see who chirps in.

x10! What a great thread! You guys are all crackin me up :coolcowboy:
