Default 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.

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.
