I would love to see your speed/performance numbers once you get everything running good. That boat should be a speed demon with those motors and drives. Good luck with getting your projects complete on it.

If you have a 100+mph 38 Fountain, you won't even have the desire to get back in your 31 AO, I traded up last season from a 31 AWESOME, wife was tired of getting wet in anything over 2' waves... let just say we don't miss the cat:drink:

nice hotrod

Ran-Dom 32 10-15-2011 10:19 AM

juiced up 540's:coolcowboy:, just having useable cockpit space, & a nice plush cabin was worth the switch, we do a lot of rafting & hanging out, my buddy has a '97 38 fever, & has lots of room to move around in, post some more pics of your new ride, looks like it has a nice paint job also... not just another boring factory graphic
