When you say cut down, what exactly are you saying? Like what measurements are cut down?

Think that means the hull will be cut after it was built in the mold. Less wind drag. The smaller the mass moving through the air around it will have less drag. Now I'm sure the deck on this cut down hull will give only the amount of down force needed on a padded step hull to hold it safely on the water. My best guess! I've been wrong before

The sides (freeboard) of the boat. Not much beak left to it and very low in the back. Looks great though. He isn't holding back on the pictures Shows all the bulk heads and all.

surprised me it isn't going to be a carbon boat like the race one they laid up.

I'm sure Reggie will build another rocketship, that's just what Fountain does.

Fast hands fountain 42 PR is the fastest v hull poker runner in the world with only 1150hp a side, 156mph.

Although factory billet and coolerman went faster at the shootout. I'd guess factory billet is potentially the fastest V right now, 1950hp x2.

Yes I would be curious to see that boat as well.....The Saratoga Stampede with 1200's on its best day was 10 mph slower and that had to be one of the most dialed in Fountains ever.....the OL SV43s with 1350s are running in the low 150s....Fast Hands must be one crazy dialed in boat

I've heard even 1075 lightnings can run 140. Any of the 1075 poker runs would be good for 140 stock.

that was also along time ago and a boat that was built to be a 600 bravo boat.
