The cool thing about Billy Boats' 42 Fountain that runs the speeds it does, is while yes, it is a "poker run" edition hull, it actually does go "poker running" quite often, and goes out in plays in big water on any given weekend. Its no trailer queen.

Rory has a 42' legacy with big power that runs strong as well.

Bill Betz has his 43sv that runs good....

Factory Billet should be a player as well...

Some of the fast canopied fountain race boats (stampede, cat killer) I believe got sold to Trinidad
Bob's velocity is going to be a very cool machine. I especially like that it has something different for power!

In that video I'm running 110 mph waiting for the OL . I let him start to pass me before laid into it. Went from 110-143 in 8 seconds with 4 big guys in the boat and Full tanks of fuel . GPS was climbing 3 mph at a time. I put new props on the boat that morning without ever testing them. It turns out the props were still too small. The great thing about my boat is that unlike many fast V bottoms that are capable of running a big number when set up for a speed run, mine will run fast for a LONG haul everyday ,comfortably , and on 92 octane pump fuel. I cruised from Miami to Gilbert's during this years KW poker run at 120-125. I was the 3rd boat there pulling up at the same time as 2 bad ass cats. Since then I have gotten bigger props and Eddie Young is putting in a tune with more boost to run with higher octane fuel when I want to splash some fuel
