This is quite a fascinating project. Is this Fountain 47 Norwegian Björn Olimstad's ex. Skagerak Across race boat? Can't wait to see how this eventually runs. Crossing my fingers it'll be a success story. Best of luck.

When we re-did the Gancia (Super Hero) with the 4 big Seatek's 900/950 (they said), we ran it on Lake Como and it went 112 mph. Maybe a little faster in saltwater, maybe some other props could it have gone faster? I know one thing at that speed the boat chine walked real bad, scary.
