I cant say enough times how helpful, friendly and informative they have been. Not sure of the H.P. until im on the dyno but im crossing my fingers for 90MPH. Im thinking i may have one of the faster singles in the area. Looking for a quick race just for fun or a small wager. I will accept fair twin engine competition also. Im usually hanging out at F-Cove, or blasting around the bay in between the Seaside and Mantoloking bridges. Thanks guys, The Instagator.
I'm thinking you might be a tad optimistic

I'm questioning the HP

700hp is a lot to get out of a N/A 510. Let's hear more about your motor

The question is not if it will go that fast, but whether how fast it will go safely. Remember, a 27' Fountain is essentially a 25' boat. (The beak doesn't gain you running surface.) I've driven enough 27' Fountains (and other boats) to know what a handfull they can be. One of our members from my area was killed last year when his 29' Kryptonite went out of control during testing. That's one of the reasons those of us with lots of seat time are cautioning you here. It doesn't matter if you run 120 MPH - for 5 seconds before you loose control and crash.

Ted is correct, the Potter motor is as Ron's Shop ( for sale ) also
correct the SuperboatY2K is going south to her new home.
And last, the Y2K with the Potter 800 was fast !!!!

A 25 ft boat? the 27 fountain has 23 ft of running surface.
