I've heard they can run about 135 + mph also after Brian Forehand does his setup magic to them.
I've got 2 friends who have stock 42's lightings with 1075's both are 120 ish + or - 2 mph boats.
42 PR There was one at LOTO for sale this summer with 1075's I'm pretty sure (not 100% sure on exact # though) I was told it would run honestly between 132-133 which I think is a very very respectable #.

It takes alot of talent to navigate a V Bottom >135, I have alot of respenct to the OL team this weeked.
Congrats to the success of the Outerlimits SV 43 at LOTO. I had a chance to watch this boat run on the course and what a showcase at the dock!. I am sure with a longer stretch it would pick up some addtional MPH.

When I had the 1075 package in our open canopy 42 fountain poker run, it was tested in Powerboat at 144-146. Then when we converted to a full canopy Pleasure-Race Boat ( stereo/AC and 4 seats), it would top `150+, but the best we could do in a mile at LOTO was 139.

Then in the fall of 2010, we changed the Merc Motors out to the new 1200, preparing for KW, the testing speeds were improved again. It was aquired, before KW, and has a new home in Trinidad, on the OS racing circuit

The 2011 LOTO was a wonderful event, and the performance of this OL-43 was outstanding. It will soon be time to start snowmobiling

My boat is a poker run edition , yes it has the most current step bottom . With my current engines with 1150 hp tune I ran 156 mph
With the previous engines 146 mph[\QUOTE]

42
 

back when the 1075 first came out bill Mazzionis pleasure 42 went mid to high 130s

The OL guys keep digging and hoping. Reminds me of Ferrari guys when they have their butts handed to them on the track by Vettes! It’s comical and entertaining. Lol

I dont think anyone can deny that a specific fountain can go a stated speed as long as its recorded otherwise anyone can throw any # out there. But because a specific boat went a certain speed doesnt mean they all go that fast. There seems to be some extra speed in a v bottom boat that certain people in the industry can find, 2 people off the top of my head come to mind. It has been well documented over the years one particular man has done many fountain and some OL boats and he has done other brands as well. Guys have sent there boats to him and miraculously he is able to find 5-10-15+ mph more speed from the boat. That is awesome! IMO that person deserves the credit not the brand of boat.
That does not mean all boats run those speeds and that is not brand specific.
All 43 OL's with 1650's wont run 180+ mph
All Black thunders wont run 160+ mph
All fountains wont run whatever # you want to put on it unless it's been modified like the other boat that did run that #.

One friend got his fountain 1075 test report from leaving factory. 126 mph is what it said and not unloaded with everything, props probably arent perfect but normally it will run 120 + or -.
Of course some 42's have gone 135 or 140 but that is not how most left the factory unless Reggie did a little extra magic to that specific boat in the setup (which I'm sure happened from time to time for some $ or course).
I guess my point was not brand specific by any means, because you can find one boat of any brand who went a certain speed (more than most of that exact boat) with a stated motor package doesn't mean they all should go that fast.
No matter what brand if one boat normally goes 140 and another one goes 155 I will guarantee you alot of work has been done to the bottom of the boat, drive heights, props, possibly the balance of the weight in the boat and probably the power is bumped up as well.
The gains credit then belongs to the guy who changed the boat not necessarily the brand.
When the Parveys run big #'s at the LOTO shootout I dont ever hear people giving credit to Black thunder for building such a fast boat. It's always people giving credit to the Parveys for changing the boat and making it that fast. I hope no one went to go buy a Black thunder boat hoping it was going to go as fast as the Parveys.

We just pulled the new Fountain kilo boat from the mold this week. A few more weeks of glass work & then on to rigging & then going to put up some big numbers.

would really like to have these pics over here on oso, especially since the thread is going well and with very little bashing.
a lot of us want to see it in it's present state and along the way as well.

That Fountain definitely hauls ass....fast forward to 14:30
