2 different boats, from the same dealer, specify identical cubic inch and horsepower. 1 was proven to be bull s. the other unknown if it is a legit description or not. that sounds proper to u?
so what your saying is 2 total strangers both wanted to sell their boats for more money both lied to the same broker both made up the same engine specs for their boat and it was ok because the broker is not responsible for any errors?

or
both owners of 2 different boats were both lied to from their engine shop that their motors were both something that they werent and both told the broker what they were led to believe was the real specs on their motors? so both engine shops made up the same exact lie?
explain that to me
when i sea trialed the boat, the person that came with me (because the previous owner was no where to be found), claimed they were the mechanic of the boat. when asked where the motor was built they told me that they had installed the motor in the boat but didnt kno where it was built.

This year was the first time with this motor/drive set-up. I have 2 spare drives just in case. I never broke the bravo one drive YET this year...I plain off easy and back off the throttle when in the air. This way of running it is keeping it alive I think. Most of the time i am boating with my girlfriend and our 2 kids so we just cruise around but when i am out without them the motor is at 4K and will be run flat out sometimes. The fun run we did in the hudson river in NY in Oct I held it WOT for 5-6 mins and oil temp, oil psi, water temp was perfect and drive oil drianed out clean after the run.
This is my primary boat, poker run boat, fun run boat, go out and have a good day on the water boat, and go out and kill single engine boats boat....
It really is a great boat for what it is and most people on my boat will say it handles the chop well.

The cockpit is small. I put bolster seats in mine and makes it tough to get between them since it is only a 6ft beam boat. There is times I wish I had a little more room but what ever.

With all of the good parts you have listed, a very good assembly, good dyno tune (jetting/timing) and that number is very possible. Given the high CR, my doubt is removed.
Word of caution. Best you periodically do a plug check on all cylinders and run the very best fuel you can get.
Good looking Fountain. I really do like the old school race fairing over the windshields. Safe and happy boating in 2012.

beer commercial? haha ill drink to that.
i also like the old windshield over the new although it looks like crap if you dont paint it white. classic design that will never go out of style.
i always buy 93 sometimes called valvtect on the water. i only use 93 and if on the trailer i will try to get bp or sunoco. i usually use marine stabilizer if sitting for more than a month & try to put in fresh gas often.
gave her a bath today b/c you guys were makin me feel bad about it.
