50 marauder running 140? Maybe fountain should get a pair of those motors for the kilo boat 😂

about 3 sec into this video they just miss a large black object in the water.....:eekdrop:

it's going fast for sure but not 140, the speedo on the helo shows between 90 -100
old threads around here say 1000 a side to go 100 in a flat deck so ?

looks like it's running pretty darn good for the conditions, the pi-zons are having a good time, and the driver is confident enough
to look at the helo, so the boat must be very easily controlled at high speed in a straight line w/ a little wind and chop in the mix.

it was probably pulled from a special mold by and at another shop and was layed up and rigged for a singular purpose.
(even tho legend has it the race boats come out of the same mold as the boats on the showroom floor)

the video is a 42x not a 50

That’s a 42x( not a 50) looks like the one PBC sold

Bostonirish 03-29-2018 08:07 PM

I think that 42 has 1350 Mercs. But am I missing something? 140 in a 50 maurader dosent seem that far fetched to me with the 1550’s

Wobble 03-29-2018 08:11 PM

Obviously it's running too fast for pfd's to be of any use.

hogie roll 03-29-2018 09:41 PM

Two different boats. Top is the Amg marauder. Bottom is a 42x.

VtSteve 03-29-2018 09:43 PM

Not true. If they wore PFD's, they would have floated when bounced out into the ocean.
