THANK YOU! my point exactly. im running the same boat, mabye 100 less hp.

Jim V. was competing in Lake MI offshore powerboat racing in the 80s. He has a lot of experience. Be careful, get some big tabs on the back.

Where are you going to keep it? Are you docking it or trailering it? My picture is in Brick 2 miles from drumpoint marina. If you are more interested in kicking back an relaxing you may want to check out tices south on the bay by forked river.

Unless there is a side of you I do not know about tices may be a better fit!

Have a slip at drumpoint marina,but will use proroc for in and out service. I have used my jet skis to explore and i know forked river and tices. Plus do the njppc events.

I have been running with them for 11 years now. Greatest club in the world! I started with a 22' Donzi and always felt welcome. There is zero tolerance for lack of safety and not following rules. Run what ya brung, have fun, drive within your limits and the limits of the boat, then tie up the boats for the day and party like rock stars.

Have fun and see you out there this summer.

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."

Whooooo....Too Stroked & Baja555
I'm just an "old" country boy, but I have been to N.J. and I've never seen any boat, wether it's an 18' or 50' Bajahaha, Kryptonite, Progression, Fountain or whatever in N.J., Ok, Texas or Canada that has the whole footage in the water at any time. Much less when it's WOT in which case I wouldn't want my whole boat in the water and I doubt that you would either. Just my 2 cents.
