Did you notice any difference in the driving and planning ability of the boat with the prop guards on ?

That pic shows that the camera would be mounted between the running pad and the drive above the pad. Picture really clarified where the camera was mounted.

At the 2:30 mark is a slow motion of the wetted running surface of a cat.

Ben Robertson has been around a ton of Fountains, and it appears that the drive height for those #8 drives is perfect, that is why it cost $$$,$$$.00 to have the right people rig the right boat. How fast is a new 42' with 1350's and #8 drives? at what rpm, gear ratio, prop size, ect...

I currently have a set of 18 x 33 16's on her but could use a little more pitch.
