42 Fountain 500efi speeds
My bud is looking a 2000 42 fountain 500 efi staggered boat to take north to Ontario. He was told by the owner it runs high 70,s. With good props and a set of 1 in shortys he thinks he can get it in to the 80,s. That's a lot of boat to get in to the 80 s with 500 efi,s I think.

I believe 78-80 is the number roughly. 525s closer to 85. Very efficient hull.

You really need to take into consideration the real waterline length of a 42' fountain. Subract about 3' of swim platform and 1' of beak and you wind up with a 38' boat.

Nice boat. Should ride good but just slow.

74-76 is a realistic real # to expect, do a search in the fountain forum, there are plenty of examples ... He won't be disappointed in the ride I gaurentee it, & if he decided to up the hp down the road, this hull responds nicely :boat:

But who runs hard in poker runs anymore anyway! The last few I did everyone cruse at 55-65 mph
