700hp Fountain 27
 
coming back in my sophmore season with more skill and a few tweaks done over the winter. i will b at lake hopatcong as soon as the weather warms and back in toms river for the summer starting memorial weekend.

still looking for some friendly competition, no nonsense guys. i plan to b running at least 85 with a goal of 90 and greater stability at speed when compared to last yr. please, no crap about someone you kno with a 40' cat that runs 150 in 5' swells. be serious guys.

my best last yr was 81 with 26" mach and 85 with 28" b1. 3ppl, 3/4 tank and not turning enough rpms with both props. anyone with a 26" b1 give me a shout if interested in selling it or a trade. thanks guys.

Sounds like a good match up for my rig, too bad you are on the wrong coast!

Lavey 2750 (28.8ft) Ilmor 710. runs 85 anytime - 90 if I pull the radar Off and get a cold day.

have fun... take picts.

curious what exhaust do you run?

Bandit marine doesn't seem to spec it on their website with the 700 package.

Looks like a Lightning exhaust.

Bring that thing down to the Chesapeake bay. I know of a couple single engine vee's that will eat that for lunch, mine included.:party-smiley-004:

hmm looks like Eickert to me in the picts but teh description doesn't include an exhaust system

(maybe you mean lightning performance group/ Eickert)

Lightning marine makes true header - I see a manifold.

I cant see that the engine comes with that though.

Depending on how its dynod and what he has he may not have 700 ponies to put against the prop.

I love these threads. Nothing like a bit of fun in the off season

Italianstalian, since you were not able to pull max rpm's with the 28Bravo, it sounds like a perfect canidate to have labbed. They can tune it to give it a few hundred more rpm's.
