Sold the boat to a friend of mine this spring with only dyno time on new motor and he says he got 90.3 on gps. Only difference between old motor and new besides a freshen up was a change to BG 850...down size from 1050 dominator.

I would like to see that 90.3 on video.. I know that boat was fast but 90.....The fastest i ever went was with a labbed 30 and that was 87.8 .....:bsflag:

yep thats my boat. also have a guy coming in with a 03 supercharged Fountain 29. Should run around 90.

where do you run? Keep your boat?

Usually launch over at Ocean Heights Marina, Somers Point.

I've got a bunch of friends that keep their boats at Sea Village. I'm sure you've seen them. 25' Active Thunder. 28' Checkmate. 28' Powerquest. We run over to AC and the Brigantine Cove a lot.

I know those guys. They were just all at the marina the other day. I go to the cove all the time. That place rocks.

im thinking i found the Fountain in the bay this past weekend and w my gf and her sis in the boat ran him down and passed him, while the previous owner was in another boat (38 hustler w ilmors and arnesons and witnessed it) and the best i got out of my boat in that snotty bay Sunday afternoon was 74ish. im only a 27 footer w a bone stock 500efi and a bravo 1...3 people and little over half a tank of fuel
